XCEED Sports Performance

Russell is passionate about helping people get stronger, and it is infectious. I know him through Gainesville's professional community and his knowledge of training and sports performance is the real thing. His experience is top notch, and he has worked with all different types of athletes and organizations. Xceed is where I would send any athlete, or anyone serious about their fitness.

Despite having known Russell from Xceed Sports Performance for quite some time, I had never actually needed to use his services—until a couple of weeks ago when I injured my back trying to lift a mirror incorrectly. The pain was so severe that I thought I had done permanent damage and was minutes away from calling a cab to take me to the hospital, where no doubt I would have been waiting for hours. Instead, I decided to speak to Russell. At first, his calm demeanor seemed almost too relaxed for my liking. He listened to me complain about the pain before showing me a few exercise movements and using some of his equipment on me. Incredibly, I was able to walk with only a little pain the same day. Although I was still in pain the next day, it was not as bad, and after a few days of repeating the exercises, the pain was completely gone! Honestly, I had no idea that exercises could help relieve such unbearable pain. I would have happily taken prescription medication to get rid of it. I later found out that Russell did not overreact because he sees this kind of injury all the time and was confident that he could either help me or refer me to the right place if he couldn't.

I'm a personal training client of Russell and XCEED. I was a D-1 athlete so I'm used to a certain level of intensity with my workouts. Russell does a great job of keeping me motivated and pushing me past my limits. Since I've started with him and with some minor dietary changes, I've lost 11 pounds and I'm in better shape than a lot of my peers. He's great at tailoring the workouts to your specific fitness goals. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience with this gym! I was trained by the trainer Russell and got my fitness improved. Russell has been recognized with his professionalism and client-centered mindset by many professional athletes. I would highly recommend XCEED Sports to anyone who wants a healthy figure.

Russell is a fantastic, well-learned, and in my opinion, supremely talented trainer. His passion and dedication to his work are two qualities I admire most amongst many. His customer service is admirable plus he has a very kind and approachable personality. I visit the gym at least 3 times a week, and each time, I spend at least one hour. In comparison, I worked with Russell for just about 30 to 40 minutes and I felt in my body that I got more "profit" than my usual hour-long work out. He is simply good! and yes, he knows his stuff! I'll recommend him to anyone
