My son has thoroughly enjoyed his training with Coach Corey! He is very patient, kind and motivating. My son looks forward to his gym days weekly. Coach Corey is always completely focused and willing to add anything else in to their rotation if my son asks. So happy he was able to experience this and is having great structure and guidance!

My mite was nervous at even the thought of going to the gym to train, but once we got there that all changed! Thanks to the amazing coaches, fun environment and age appropriate training he has the confidence & proper knowledge to workout. Thanks bando & coaches!

We have been using Bando for our boys for years and are always so happy with the coaches. They really reach the kids and make the experience fun!

Coach Alex, Coach Chuck, and the rest of the Bando strength and conditioning team at Worcester are great! Our daughter (15) is having fun, getting a good workout, and most importantly learning proper form! They give her the tools and knowledge to someday take control of her own lifts, which is important this age. Keep up the good work!

Alex and Chuck are great trainers and know how to motivate kids to work hard while having fun. Highly recommended!

5 stars for Coach Alex at Bando Worcester. He is prepared, professional, and committed to helping each client reach their personal fitness goals. The environment is challenging and inclusive. Bonus that Alex offers such a flexible schedule - there is always a spot regardless if you are a commuting professional or a parent fitting in a workout between school pickup/dropoff. Give Alex a call today. You won’t be sorry. 🙂

My son loves his time at Bando! He is learning so much from Alex and the conditioning will benefit him both for hockey and lacrosse. They are very easy to work with!

My son loves their middle school program. Alex and Chuck have created a fun and supportive team environment that helps promote althletic growth and development.

Our son has been loving the middle school strength program. It’s been a great program to supplement his on-ice goals (and would help with any sport.). I’ve seen a noticeable difference in his performance and confidence (and appetite!). He loves the bond with the other kids and can’t say enough good things about the coaching he has been receiving with Alex and Chuck. He likes it so much I even started some adult functional training. The facility is clean and spacious and well equipped.

If you or your athlete are looking for a fun, inclusive and non-judgemental gym experience, Alex and Chuck have turned Bando in Worcester into just the right place that meets all of those needs. Our middle school son started going two nights a week to develop his off ice skills and strength training. We’ve seen an incredible difference in him, in just a short amount of time and that’s all due to the knowledge, excitement and encouragement that Chuck and Alex bring to the environment. The small groups provide opportunities for focused feedback and redirection to help your athlete gain the most from their experience. I’d highly recommend Bando Performance for any athlete looking to grow and develop.

It is for a gym that provides Middle School and High School athletes with small group training session on a flexible weekly schedule. The trainers, Alex and Chuck, make all kids (boys and girls) feel welcome. They have engaging workouts and make sure there is time at the end for practice hockey shots on their synthetic ice. The coaches challenge the kids during the workouts and are always looking for feedback from both the kids and the parents. My daughter loves going every week. Gemini said It sounds like you’ve found a fantastic spot for your daughter! A review that highlights both the athletic gains and the inclusive atmosphere will be incredibly helpful for other parents. Here are three different versions—ranging from detailed to short and punchy—so you can pick the one that best fits your style. Option 1: Detailed & Personal (Best for Google Reviews) Title: Highly recommend for young athletes! "We can’t say enough good things about this gym. Our daughter looks forward to her sessions every single week! Alex and Chuck have created an environment where both middle and high school athletes—boys and girls alike—feel completely welcome and motivated. The small group training is the perfect balance of individual attention and team energy. The workouts are consistently engaging and challenging, but the best part is the flexible weekly schedule which makes it so easy to manage around school and other sports. As a hockey family, we also love that they set aside time at the end for shots on the synthetic ice. What really sets them apart is their communication; Alex and Chuck are constantly seeking feedback from both the kids and the parents to ensure they are providing the best experience possible. Truly a gem for local youth athletes!"

My 9yr old started in January while having a tough year on the ice. We started with the idea of getting his mind off of the negatives and give him something fun to do while also learning form and function. Over the two months we have seen a huge improvement in his confidence on and off the ice. Alex and his team treat our entire family like they are a part of the team and we are incredibly happy with the choice we made trying Bando Performance!

Nothing but great things to say about Bando-Performance. My son was enrolled in Sunday Skills at the Worcester Ice center this summer and I've seen a massive improvement in his skating. The coaches are awesome, they get the kids to work really hard yet still have some fun. Everything from communication to coaching is top notch! We can't wait for upcoming clinics!
