Client Testimonials

"After working with Bob this past summer, it was the best I've felt going into a season. Bob really took the time to break it down and helped me tweak the little deficiencies that were taking away from my game. Bob is very knowledgeable and passionate and it shows in his work. Creating more than just a client relationship, Bob goes the extra mile and continues to help me work on my game."

David Silye

Calgary Wranglers

American Hockey League

"After working with Bob this past winter, I am positive I will return to the high-performance level of competing I was at prior to my injury. Bob is knowledgeable of what the requirements are for an ACL recovery, he got my strength and confidence up and took the time to explain everything we did and how it was relevant to my sport. My on and off snow training became more effective because of Bob's commitment and the time he spent to understand my circumstances. I would absolutely put my trust in him again."

Jada Boychuk

"Working with Bob the last two summers I feel I've become not just a better hockey player on the ice but a better athlete. Bob takes the time to really explain and help you understand why are doing each exercise and where it translates to the game. Bob brings energy everyday and makes it fun to come to the gym every morning while holding you accountable."

"Bob has been instrumental in my summer training and season preparation the past few years. His knowledge of Strength and Conditioning, as well as rehabilitation benefits every athlete as he helps them reach their maximum potential. He cares about each one of his clients, building their confidence daily by demonstrating his ability to teach each exercise and technique properly. Bob has had a huge impact on the player I am today.

"Over the last 3 years Bob has helped me recover back to 100% from a broken femur and had me return to skating comfortably post injury. He would work with me daily on the small details that would ensure my leg recovered to be stronger than before. He also pushed my strength and speed to levels I didn't think I could reach, which comes from his unique approach and effective methods to exercise selection and execution. He is constantly correcting us and providing feedback on how to improve as we go. Bob does a phenomenal job of making it a professional atmosphere while still having a blast working hard every day."

"I have been training with Pond Performance for 3 years, and it has completely transformed my game. My explosiveness on the ice, speed, and endurance have all improved dramatically.

I highly recommend Pond Performance to anyone looking to enhance their athletic performance."

"Pond Performance has been a total game changer since I first started working with him three summers ago. The way they tailor workouts to individual players helped me reach many on and off-ice goals I had for myself. Pond Performance truly cares about you and wants whats best for you as an athlete and a person. I highly recommend Pond Performance."

Nate McIsaac

"Before working with Pond Performance, my hopes of returning to hockey were almost non-existent. Pond Performance focussed on my specific injury, while also incorporating a full body program that not only helped me overcome my injury, but helped me get stronger in all areas. Pond Performance was a life changing experience for me and without their help I wouldn't be able to play the sport I love today. I would highly recommend Pond Performance as they truly care about helping you achieve your end result."

"Working with Bob has been great and being able to get the most out of you as a player is something you for in a trainer. Utilizing lifts that are my specific needs and the growth you see as an individual has been awesome. Also having him as an Athletic Therapist to work me back through injuries for both my rehabilitation while still training around the injury with the same guy makes it a smoother process."
