EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Ryan Hutchins2025-05-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have two kids going to Bando Performance three days a week. The staff is great and the facility is top notch. We have all sent our kids to places where they just go do what they want for an hour, unsupervised. The Bando staff is engaging and helps guide/push these athletes to get better every session. Jacob Flynn2025-05-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Trained with Jason, Mike, and Ari for 4 years through my college career. They are the people I trust to get me prepared and feeling confident for my upcoming hockey seasons. It was the little details and different approaches they had to each athlete that would give us an advantage. Definitely the best around. Phil McKeating2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough how great the team and Bando was. They helped me recover from plantar fasciitis that I hadn't been able to kick for 18 months. Not only did I get my foot sorted out, they helped me diagnose and work through the underlying issues. World class facility and outstanding team that's extremely reliable and well informed. JJ Monteiro2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bando Performance Wellsley is the best place to train, all the equipment needed, but more importantly the staff is unreal. They make it a place you want to go to. I have gotten stronger, faster and more explosive in my years here and will continue to go back. Nolan Flynn2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been attending Bando Performance in Wellesley for now over 4 years. Ever since I walked in there 4 years ago I feel as an athlete my game has jumped levels each year due to the effort, care, and genuine knowledge of my trainers at Bando. They specialize in every aspect of training that an athlete needs to grow and to succeed. From agility, speed, plyometrics, and pure muscle strength. I owe a lot to my trainers and the process that Bando in Wellesley provides to its athletes. Would highly recommend going to Bando in Wellesley for any type of athlete trying to grow there game. Ziv Deener-Chodirker2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are simply the best in the business. From the coaching, the environment, the facility, and the fun, Bando is the elite sports performance group in the Greater Boston Area. I tried many other gyms and training groups across MA before discovering Bando and these guys were hands down the best. They helped me reach my goal of playing Ncaa hockey and I could not have done it without their help over a 4 year span. 10/10 highly recommend Dylan Amonte2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a mom of four D1 athletes ( 2 ACL repairs and 4 shoulder surgeries) Ari and the staff at Bando Performance have played a HUGE role in their success! From day to day sport specific strength training in lacrosse and hockey to post surgery and return to play protocols, every aspect was top notch. Ari and the staff went above and beyond all of our expectations ...even showing up on the sidelines! We couldn't have asked for a better more knowledgeable training staff. Laurie & Tony Amonte Dylan Krayer2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A really nice gym with a lot of space and get a good combination of running and lifting. Great people that work there as well. Connor Joyce2025-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. - great workouts -welcoming staff -staff understands your goals and helps achieve them -prestige facilities Chris & Christine2025-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highest recommendation for athletes of all ages and stages! Amazing facility, cleanest gym with latest equipment and so much space. Absolute professionals who motivate and challenge with knowledge and understanding of exercises and progression. Group classes are fun for everyone but with tailored individual approach for injuries or goals or sport-specific needs. The whole family is getting our gains! Jason, Ari, Luke, Mike, Allison, and Kiva bring balance of fun and challenging with appreciation for agility, flexibility, strength and speed (for the kids). Love that they celebrate improvements with us - great role models all around.
