PHENOMENAL!

Nolan Weidman / Center Grove High School

I have spent the past four years in Coach Mills' class and it had been a great experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and is determined to coach all of his students and athletes the perfect form of each of every lift, which allows them to reach their maximum potential. Coach Mills challenges everybody to make personal goals for themselves, and he pushes people to reach those goals no matter what it is. Over the four year period that I've spent in Coach Mills' class, my strength has greatly increased. I came in as a freshman that competed in football and baseball, and my strength was very average for a kid my age. Now that I have spent a few years in his program, I am proud to say that I am able to bench over 300 pounds and squat over 400. I feel that Coach Mills' system has allowed me to succeed at the highest level in my sports, and he deserves more credit for what he does with our athletes.

#1 in the nation

Morgyn Thompson

Mills is easily the best lifting coach in the nation. I have never met anyone who is more passsionate about his job than him. He cares so much about students and will do anything it takes to help them reach their goals. I've learned so much from him, not just lifting, but discipline and hard work ethic for life. I will be able to use the skills he has taught me for the rest of my life, and i hope to spread the knowledge to others.

 

From zero to hero

By Jessica Taylor / CGHS Weightroom! (:
 
I have been playing soccer for ten years. I had never been the biggest, the fastest, nor the strongest until I started focusing on my workouts not only on improving my ball skills, but my body as well. For four years, Coach Mills has not only pushed me to the very end of my rope, but taught me how to tie a knot and hang on. With the types of workouts I have been exposed to since I began weightlifting my freshman year, I have gained the knowledge to improve every part of myself. I have learned that I can do anything I put my mind to and that I am 100% capable of pushing myself through one more set, one more rep, or one more minute. I have learned that even when my muscles are aching and screaming, "No!", my mind can push me to finish and to finish strong and proud of what I have accomplished. Mills has instilled the knowledge in every athlete that he has coached and helped us to realize that we can do anything we put our mind too and for that I will never be able to thank him enough.

Lessons Learned for Life


 
By Abby Robison / Greenwood, IN
Coach Mills and the strength lifting class helped me become a stronger athlete for my years playing basketball. However; when I discontinued in my sport, I continued in lifting and using the skills I was taught to stay in good shape. I am now in the best shape of my life and know how to discipline my body thanks to the coaching of Coach Mills. After four years of working out, exercise and fitness interest me greatly and I may pursue a degree in this field thanks to Marty Mills.

Strength Program

Alex Nevill

Coach Mills and Center Grove's weightlifting program is one of the best in the country. I have been working in the program since I was in eighth grade, and it has completely changed my body. I played football for four years and while I didn't always have more natural speed than the other team's players, I knew my strength and conditioning were far superior. The use of kettle bells and intensive focus on Olympic Weightlifting is a main emphasis at Center Grove. Combine these advanced techniques with consistent hard work and this is what allows players to be successful. In addition to the purely physical aspect of the program, Coach Mills does a great job of imparting weightlifting knowledge to all athletes. Once we leave this great program we will all have the ability to continue these amazing workouts at our respective colleges. During my high school experience I have spent many hours in the weight room and they have always been enjoyable and I wouldn't trade them for anything else.

The Best Full Mind and Body Training


 
By Justin Hoch / CGHS
Coach's Mills' School of Strength is a full exercise in mind and body. When I entered as a freshman looking to play soccer, I was scrawny and weak. With Olympic lifts, my body developed and my speed improved. I credit my ability to run a 5:30 mile to my training under Coach Mills. Then, the addition of kettlebells took my game to another level. Through the pain and sweat, I felt my body changing and becoming an athlete. Aside from the physical training, Coach Mills develops each athlete into a respectful, focused disciplined athlete. He is not afraid to speak his mind on your work ethic or attitude. Plus, he creates a relationship with his athletes, always having their needs in mind, in order to train them to their full potential. I recommend the Coach Mills' School of Strength workout to anyone willing to put forth the effort. It will transform anyone into a superior athlete.

Changing the Man in the Mirror

Spencer Hays

Hard work is never easy, especially for high school kids. What coach mills has been able to do through his training program, and his coaching is something that is not often repeated in althletics, high school or professional. The impact he has made on me personally is something of great importance. Im not incredibly blessed athletically speaking, but because of coach mills, i was able to find success on the wrestling mat, in the weight room, and in all areas of my life. Because of this, i honored coach mills at our academic awards night, not just because of his academic impact, but because what he taught cannot be taught in a traditional class room. No one can go through this program without saying a change had been made. he taught us how to be the men and women the world needs, and because if his time, effort, and support, thousands of kids come through center grove with the ability to contribute to society.

Marty Mills

Allie Day

For the past four years Coach Mills has not only improved my agility and endurance, but my technique as well. I have improved tremendously in my sport, and I am already ahead of the rest of our incoming class next year at Indiana University. I have learned all of the lifts that most collegiate athletes do and have exceeded most high school athletes. Without the consistent training methods Coach Mills sets out for us, I would not be at the level I am at today. I owe the majority of my success to him. He is a phenomonal instructor and has a true passion for what he does.

 

Glory Through Strength

Brandon Gridley

I started lifting with Coach Mills in the fall of eigth grade and am now finishing my senior year of high school with him. When I started as an eigth grader I was 190lbs of weak nothing, who could not only not do a dip but couldn't hold myself up and required help. It was pathetic, but within the first year and a half through the intense work ethic of Coach Mills he helped me drop down to 155lbs with a new start. Over high school with Coach I was able to climb up and put on thirty pounds of muscle to an average 185 during football season and then through his cardio strength work outs cut down to a lean 175 during my lacrosse seasons. Coach Mill's work and dedication with all the athelets of Center Grove is one of the very few reasons we can stand and compete with with the huge schools in the MIC. I am very proud to say that I learned and worked under Coach Mills and feel more fit than ever. I will have no problem ever coming up with a work out for any situation thanks to Mills!

THE strength Coach Mills

Sean Brooks

I came into freshman year just like any other freshman would: small, weak, and pathetic. I was introduced to coach Mills dedication speeches, hard work motivations, and his unbelievable strength training. This is by far the best strength training in the country. At first strength was all that mattered, but then he introduced us once again to a new way of lifting, Kettle Bells! This program not only made you out-of-this-world strong, it also conditioned your muscles and created a more athletic way of training. I dedicate all of our schools success to him, or at least give him partial credit. Without his strength training I would have never recieved the education of lifting, the strength of lifting, or the knowledge of hard work. Also without him I would not have the arms that I do today.

 

Martin David Mills

Amanda Zubia

I have played soccer since I was 4 years old. I played for the high school Freshman through my Senior year. I began my weightlifting career my sophomore year with a school record of 185lbs weighing in at 116lbs and to this day, no one has beaten my record. Mills taught me the correct technique to have and helped me achieve this possibility. He is a great role model and not only helped myself, but has committed to every person who has stepped into this program.


 

Mighty Mills

Jenna Spencer

I first had heard about Coach Mills through my older brother, Will. My brother had told me I should get into the weight lifting program to increase my overall physique. Will had started out his freshman year tiny and no where near physically fit. By his Senior year my brother was one of the top weightlifters in his class and to this day works out with Coach Mills. After seeing the outcome of my brother, I saw that this would be beneficial to me. Starting out my freshman year I was in Volleyball and Track. With Coach Mills' workouts, I was able to maintain a good weight and become more athletic all around. To this day, I am continually challenged by Coach Mills' workouts and am pushed to my highest potential every workout.
 
 

Marty Mills: A Present Day Warrior

Scott Sutton

I have been lucky enough to be a part of Coach Mills strength and conditioning program for the last four years. In that time I have gained an immense amount of knowledge about proper lifting as well life lessons that I will cherish forever. I currently bench 315 lbs, squat 430 lbs and power clean 270 lbs. Not only has Coach Mills showered me with his great knowledge of lifting, he has taught me the importance of respect, hard work and punctuality. One thing I think that separates Coach Mills from the average lifting coach is the fact that he expects the best out of every single individual, every single day. He understands that not every person was blessed with exceptional athleticism and thus pushes everyone to become the best they can be. In summation, Coach Mills is one of the top, if not the best, lifting coach in the entire nation. I can say my entire transformation from a chubby freshman to an athletic senior is solely on the shoulders of Coach Mills.

Coach Mills School of Strength

Coach Mills School of Strength
 
By Jacob Messer / CGHS
Freshmen year I entered high school with little knowledge of the lifting world. Then before I knew what was happening Coach Todd made me leave gym so I could lift more while in season. Upon entry I was greeted by a man who I could only describe as a bear, his name was Marty Mills. He transformed my 100lb 5'3" body into a 5'7" 155lb lifting machine. He is so good at what he does he honestly does not have to teach. The intense fear he puts into every freshmen is enough to make them do the work. His superior knowledge in kettle bell training is beyond anyone in the country and his knowledge in everything else is far from lacking. In a nut-shell, Coach Mills is on an unreachable level of awesomeness.

School of Strength

Justin Meredith

Coach Mills and the school of strength are just one of a kind. His lifting expertice and knowledge of the lifts helps me and everyone else get better in every lift. Personally i don't believe there is a better choice for a weightlifting coach. Over the years, freshman to senior, my bench press has doubled from 125 to 250 pounds and still growing. On the squat and cleani have also seen massive improvement. Even on the incredibly technical striaght bar snatch is made easier to me and is one of my best lifts. All of this is of course due to Coach Mills excellent coaching and awesome lifting program. If anyone plans to get stronger, physically fit, or to just better themselves overall, I strongly suggest joining the school of strength.

Coach Mills



Jonathan Marlin

I came in as a freshmen weighing 115 and am now leaving high school with a weight of 165. After my freshmen year, my max on bench press reached 165 pounds and now with Senior year ending, my bench press max has reached 275. I will be playing college basketball next year and I have to give credit where credit is due. Coach Mills has allowed me to reach my goal of playing Division 1 basketball by elevating my strength to another level. Standing 5'10 and not having the athletic abilities naturally given to others, strength was the biggest concern to college coaches. Now entering college, one of my weaknesses has turned into my strength, literally. I strongly believe that Coach Mills is the leading factor to why I have been successful in my sport and I would strongly recommend him in whatever profession by the attitude and intesity in which he has approached lifting.
 
 

Coach Mills is a BOSS

Aaron Manship

I have always been bigger than most people. Beginning of reshman year I wasn't really too strong, I was just sort of tubby. The summer before football season I was in his lifting program. I was practically transformed from a fat lineman, into a lean athlete. I went from benching 205 at the start to benching 260 my freshman year. I have had quite a few injury set-backs (3 hernias and dislocated knee), but thanks to him I am still throwing up over 300 and squatting over 450. Everything that I have acomplished in athletics and in overall strength, I owe to him. I don't want to know what I would look like without lifting in his program.

Dedicaton equals Success

Zachary Garcia

As a student of Coach Mills for the past four years, I feel like I couldn't have been better prepared each and every year for baseball than I was via training through Coach Mills' system. Freshman year and Sophomore year i had to recover from pretty serious surgeries and Coach was able to guide me right through my rehab. My senior year he was also able to help me put 50 pounds on my bench in about two months.

Coach Mills' Weight Knowledge and Life Lessons

Zach Cram

I have had the pleasure of being with coach MIlls for four straight years and I have enjoyed every bit of it. Out of all of my teachers, Coach Mills has by far the most knowledge about his particular subject. I came in small and weak and left strong, hard working, and mentally focused for anything that is to be put in my way. Coach Mills knows everything there is to know about how to shape the human body in any type of way that you could ever want. Knowing everything about lifting does not make Coach Mills the great person he is. He is great with students and makes sure every kid gets the concept down before moving on. I have learned so much much about how to work out and what I need to do to maintain a good body weight and strength throughout my life. Coach Mills has also taught discipline and time management. I have learned great life lessons in his weight room and will be forever grateful of him.

Coach Mills

Emily Behnke

I started taking lifting my junior year to help me improve in track and my overall fitness. Mills' class helps you learn the proper techniques for lifting and the how to push yourself to the limits. At the end of my senior year, I am stronger than I have ever been and have enough knowledge to continue working out after high school. Thanks Coach Mills!

 

Mills Workshop

Austin Astrike
At the beginning of this year was the first year I ever lifted. Mills knew that I had no knowledge of lifting techniques or workout programs. Over the year, he has informed me of everything I need to participate in class. My bench went up 80% from what I began the year at. I have discovered that Mills is the most passionate instructor at Center Grove. This passion is what drives the amazing results of all of his students. I wish that I would have lifted every year possible at my high school, because of the impact he would have had on me physically to always work hard and mentally to never give less than possible. I will remember what Mills has taught me over this year and use it at college to stay healthy and give myself a better lifestyle of being energetic in everything I do.

Lifting Class Review

Sam Price

When i first came into CGHS as a freshman i was pretty small in stature, not very athletic, but now as a senior i am much stronger and much more athletic than ever before. This program is one of the best and the results from the students prove it. I would recommend this prgram to anyone who wants to get stronger or to just overall look better as it has done the same for me in my 4 years at Center Grove.
 
 

Best Class Ever!

I feel healthier and stronger all because of this class. Coach Mills is the best instructor ever!

I love having this class!! It makes my day so much better after having this class.!! it is by far the best class i have all day and the best workout EVER!!

School of Strength

Bryce Krebs

My name is Bryce Krebs, and I am a Senior in the School of Strength. When i first started out in weight training I wanted to become the strongest kid in the school, and this program helped me reach that goal. Along with strength it has helped me with my explosiveness, which helped me become more feared on the football field. After a lot of hard work in the program, my junior year i was able to win the olympic lifting state championship edging out my d-line buddy Joel Hale. I would not have been able to win that award without the toughness and strength building movements that Coach Mills engrained in our bodies. Along with this, my junior/senior year also was selected to play in the North South Allstar game, and in football I recieved an all confrence award, and an all county. After more time in the program, I had perfected the training skills that Coach Mills taught us, which led to recieving a scholarship to play at Eastern Kentucky University. I would like to thank Coach Mills!


THE BEST STRENGTHINING PROGRAM EVERRRRR

 
By Stacey Klene / Center Grove High School
Coach Mills is by far the best instructor i have had. I went to Roncalli and the workouts were nothing compared to this. I feel so in shape and toned from this program, I am so glad that I took this class. I would recommend this class to anyone and everyone. Mills can change you from lifting the "pink" kettle bell all the way to the "yellow" in just a semester in this class. This class is all what YOU make of it though. If you come in and dont try hard, you will not gain what you want from this class. I LOVE THIS CLASS!!!!

Young men

I still remember the days when I was coming to the high school to workout for football as an 8th grader. That is when I first had the pleasure of getting to know Coach Mills. I was weak, uncoordinated, and overall a puny kid with some leftover baby fat. Over the past 4.5 years, I have gone from 170 lbs. to just over 200 with the help of this lifting genius. I went from Napoleon Dynamite to Brock Lesnar-esque in his prime. Rags to riches if you ask me and all thanks to this man running the program otherwise known as The School of Strength. Not only does he metamorphize these kids into beasts in order to take on the grueling competition in the MIC (which he succeeds at), he gets to know each and every one and requires the best out of us at all times, not only in the weight room but the classroom too. I could not be half the man/athlete I am today without his expertise.

I LOVE THIS PROGRAM!!!

Chloe Hedeen

This program made me alot stronger in the past year. I'm never out of shape because i take this class year round, and its by far one of the best programs out there!! I would consider myself to be in the best shape, because of these past 4 years training with Mills. He really works with us and wants up to look good and feel good about ourselves. He challenges us and has faith in us to be a better athlete and to be healthy.

Thank You Coach Mills

John Degenhardt

When I first met Coach Mills as a freshman I was 6ft 5in and so unathletic I couldnt even fully squat with my heels staying on the ground. Freshman year I probably could not bench 125lbs. Now as a 6ft 7in senior i can bench 230lbs and easily squat. After finishing my varsity basketball career at Center Grove i will attend the University of St. Francis on basketball scholarship. Coach Mills has had a significant impact on my development as an athlete.

Best Class!!

Jenn Cole

This class has helped me in so many ways. Weare pushed everyday which helps us improve so many different things. This class has taught us things that we can take and use after high school. This year especially helped me in swimming I became stronger which made me faster. This has been one of the most changing classes for me!

Lifting Review

Isaac Cartwright

Throughout my high school career i have actually started lifting pretty hardcore. Going from my freshman year only benching 130-150 and my senior year benching 200-215. The complexity of these workouts is key if your going for any sport. No matter the workout Mr. Mills gives us, it helps with any sport you may participate in whether your sport requires pure strength, conditioning, or athleticism. His workouts have improved my volleyball skills tremendously throughout the 4 years I have been doing them. Going from being a libero to a hitter by my junior year and senior year. During my sophomore year, with that little amount of time lifting, our volleyball team won the state championship. Without the physical training we have accessable here, I doubt i would have been so successful in the sport i chose.

Best year of lifting yet!

True Form with Heavy Weight


 
By Jonathan Warrick / Center Grove High School
Ever since the fall of my 8th grade year Coach Mills has practically lived in this weightroom pushing every individual to their maximum potential regardless of size and weight. From day one the emphasis of perfect technique and form has been embedded into my head as the foundation of any weightlifter. Mills daily stresses the importance of technique. As you progress through his system you notice that you can do heavy weight without risking technique or injury because of the flawless muscle memory he trains in every single person. I came into high school a small and extremely scrawny kid who everyone thought was someone to be pushed to the back of the line. The training Mills has given me has not only improved my athletic performance but has given me the obligation to help younger athletes with their form paving their way to excellence. As of today I plan to attend Indiana State University and play football thanks to the knowledge and encouragement of Marty Mills.

School of Strength


 
By Austin Smith / CGHS
I would say Coach Mills is crazy, dedicated, and maybe even a little sick in the head about lifting and being in the best shape he can possibly be in. He trains us the way he would train himself. He is always giving us the best advice and pointers on how to improve our strength and stamina. I have never met anyone that has pushed me as hard as he does and kept me focused on my goals that i have set for myself. He is the best strength instructor there ever was period. He would do anything for us kids as we would do for him. He is a very respected man by the whole entire community whether or not they have met him because they know what he stands for and that is to be the best and make us the best we can possibly and physically be.
 

How Coach Mills Made Me Better


 
By Andrew Smeathers / Indianapolis, Indiana
I came into center grove high school being a scrawny freshman. I am now a Senior and have committed to play basketball at Butler University on a scholarship. I also have recently been named to the Indiana High School Basketball All-Star Team (the first in our schools men's history). I have many other accolades to my but none of them would have been possible with out the help of Coach Mills. He has been able to add weight and strength to my body when i thought it was impossible for me to add either. He has taught me to work hard and prove all of the doubters wrong. With out Coach Mills dedication and hard work my success would not have been possible and i am forever grateful for what he has done for my athletic success.

Perfect Conditioning


By Ciara Shellabarger / weightroom
 
Coach Mills has both physically and mentally changed my perspective on physical conditioning. Before this year, I had no experience with any type of lifting. Learning new excersizes and becoming more familiar with weight lifting has had a huge impact on my physical performance. Coach Mills does an amazing job working with everyone. If you are looking for an advanced workout or a dramatic physical change, Coach Mills will work with you and be sure that you accomplish your goal.

Center Grove School of Strength


 
By Allie Sammons / Center Grove High School
Marty Mills is not only a great person but also a great lifting coach. He honestly cares about each one of his students as if they were his own children. He pushes us every day to go beyond our comfort zones and become great athletes. Much of our athletic success as a school can be credited to the School of Strength. He makes us better athletes as long as students each day we walk into the weight room. Marty Mills shows us all of our hard work will pay off and we could not ask for a better weight coach!

Best Weight Room in the state


 
By Thomas Huebner / Center Grove High School
Coach Mills is the BEST weight lifting coach in the world. He helped me to become the man i am today. His masculinity overshadowed my boyness and transformed me into a man like him.

#1


 
By Sam Huddleston / Center Grove
Mr. Mills is the most dedicated, hard-working, and passionate person I know of, that puts 110% in helping kids become stronger physically and mentally. Ever since I started in Mr. Mills weight lifting program, I have improved my physical appearance and condition drastically. He is very well educated and knows what you can do to better improve your physical appearance. Mr. Mills is the best weight lifting coach period.
 

Strength


 
By Justin Holbrook / Center Grove Highschool
You don't have strength, you work your butt off for it. People don't get 390 pounds on bench, by sitting on their butts. In this weight room, we all push one another to the limit. When you step in here, you see nothing but sweaty, hard working bodies, that never stop until the buzzer goes off. No one has experienced hard work until they step foot in here. The enviroment in the is weight room has great character, you will never see or experience something so great like the people and training you see here. If you truly want to get big and strong or even small and ripped come to our weight room.

Epic Strength!

 By Samuel Hickman / Center Grove High School

There are not words to express the transformation that Coach Mills has ushered into my life via his training regimen. Over time i have truly gone from flab to fab. With a coaching voice that drives me to perfection, to be the best i can be, Coach Mills has inspired me to become a better lifter, a better partner, and a better man. Thank you Coach Mills.

Ridiculous Strength

 By Cory Fennig / Greenwood, IN

As a high school golfer most people do not view you as a strong person or an athlete at all. Coach Mills has built my personality over the past four years to demand respect from the other athletes regardless of my sport. I have continued to get stronger over my four years and have watched my body change dramatically over my high school career. I am extremely lucky to have Coach Mills as my personal weight coach and help me strive for excellence.

The Man, The Myth, The Legend


 
By Taylor Davis / Center Grove
As a swimmer, Coach Mills has prepared me in and outside of the pool. He is always trying to find new ways to help you in your sport. Without Coach Mills program I wouldn't have half of my success in the pool. Coaches from colleges come in all over the United States to watch what Coach Mills has taught us. I find much of my passion for the weight room and to be in great shape from Mills and to one day open my own gym. The next chapter is to study at Queens University of Charlotte and I find myself already head of the game by knowing everything in the weight room. It's been a real honor to have Coach Mills as my weight coach and the legs he gave me.

Hard Work


 
By Jimmy Daggett / Center Grove
I am a Senior that played football, and ran track throughout my high school career. In track I broke the school record in the 4x4, and won the regional championship in the same year. My senior year of football, after making it to Semi- state the year before, lead the state in rushing for the regular season. Also, when I was a Sophomore I won the Olympic Lifting State Championship for my respective age group. I credit all of my athletic achievements to hard work, I learned everything I know about hard work from Marty Mills. Marty Mills is the epitome of hard work. He preaches on a daily basis that to be the best, and beat the best you need to always work as hard as you possibly can. He is one of my true role models, and a man I would like to be like when I grow up. He is by far the best, most knowledgeable athletic Instructors in the world, and can transform any given body into an athletic machine.
Lift Totals as High School Athlete:
Clean: 301
Bench: 350
Squat: 400
Pull-ups: 32

Coaching and instructing are NFL material


By Culley Buchanan / Center Grove High School
Coach Marty Mills is the most intense hard working coach I have ever met. He takes pride in every one of his students and pushes people to strive for more than the can do. Every student that takes his course is guaranteed to look better after 1 semester.

Pud to Stud


 
By Charlie Brauchla / Center Grove High School
Coach Mills has completely turned my life around. Going into freshman year i was a fat, lazy, worthless teenager weighing in at 240. I tore my ACL and broke my leg during baseball season that year and made the decision, with inspiration from Coach Mills, to turn my life around. I changed my eating habits, ran, and lifted to cut down to a lean 175 over the next 6 months. I've gained 25 pounds of lean muscle since then and even fought through another ACL tear during my senior year. I am now one of the strongest kids in the school and I owe it all to Coach Mills. He is not your ordinary weight coach, he is a library full of weightlifting knowledge, certainly being one of the top lifting coaches in the country. Given the opportunity, his program is so good that even if you're not a hard worker, your body will still be transformed in incredible ways. He can motivate you like no other and that is why me, along with everyone else in class, owe our success to him. Thank you Coach Mills.

Maximum Potential is Reality, Not Just Aspiration

 
 
Ben Whitehead
 
The strength training program at Center Grove High School run by Marty Mills has transformed the culture of Center Grove athletics. The program is built upon the ideals of work ethic, integrity, and consistency. These pillars, along with the instruction of Coach Mills have allowed our athletes to gain a step (or maybe 10) on the surrounding competition. But beyond the kettle bells, sleds, and battling ropes, Coach Mills pours out his life experiences and knowledge to his pupils. From time to time, he sits his athletes down, and talks to them about the importance of giving, not just sports, but life your best. And the beauty of integrity is that the same man who says that, gives life, his family, his students, his very best. In recent weeks, Coach has put up a sign on the door to the weight room which only permits the admittance of those who are motivated. Perhaps this is the greatest lesson Mills has taught his athletes. That is, to achieve anything, you must be motivated by something.

Teacher with authority

 
Davis Wentland
 
Coach Mills has really influenced me when i first came in the weightroom my freshman year. Growing up I really didnt have the work eithic that I have today. Everyday I come in here he has a new workout and every one is beneficial. Not only has he affected me with my work ethic in the weightroom he's helped me overall and from where i am today from where i was my freshman year I owe it all to him.

Best program available


Tyler Sykes
 
As far as athletic training goes in the state of Indiana, there is no better program. than the School of Strength. Not only is state of the art equiptment available, but CG has motivated, dedicated, and intelligent instructor in Marty Mills. As a freshman, I started lifting at the high school. But now as a senior, I have witnessed drastic improvements in the weightroom and in the athletes themselves. The overall dedication has greatly improved, mainly as a result of positive instructing. Marty Mills should be a role model to all athletes. Not only has he accomplished outstanding athletic feats, he has an unparallel drive that he trasplants into every athlete. I will always be forever in debt for everything he has done for me personally. The School of Strength will forever be one of the best places to train to become a superior athlete.
