There is nothing like Bando. Absolutely top notch service and staff. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the people who work here that really LISTEN to your wants and needs when it comes to athletic performance. The utmost in courtesy and respect from all employees. They only hire the best. Do not second guess a choice to become a client/patient of theirs on your fitness journey. I’ve never experienced anything like it and probably will enter again

This was our first real injury / surgery (complete ACL rupture) after 13 years of / 3 kids in sports. I can't contain within words the gratitude I feel for having met Jill at Bando. We'd seen the orthopedic, and the sports specialist. We found a 2 week wait at the suggested PT. A friend on the team, who'd endured an even nastier knee injury, insisted we call Jill. We listened. It was at that first appointment that I feel like I took my first real breath since the accident; that I knew that everything was going to be ok. Jill went above and beyond, getting my kid back to near full flexibility and extension before surgery, to set her up for the best possible outcome after. My extremely socially anxious kiddo was entirely at ease in her presence. Jill seemed to know what questions would be asked, and would describe what weird sensations to expect, before they could cause concern. She was *always* available for us, encouraged contact when we worried, always so quick to respond, to later follow up (she still does!) This is how all of health care should feel. The healing wasn't just about the knee. Thank you, Jill. You'll always be our first stop if we ever go through something like this again. Couldn't have done it without you. Also - kid is doing great. She'll make her track debut next spring. 🙂

We’ve been extremely happy with the speed and agility training. Coach Zan’s workouts are well-constructed, and the communication has been excellent throughout. Sam has responded very well, and we truly appreciate the work you’re doing. Bando’s Wellesley facility is top-notch — well maintained, well equipped, and a great setting for focused training.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I could not be happier with the training experience my teenage son has had at Bando Performance in Wellesley. From the first session, the trainers created a supportive and encouraging environment that made my son feel comfortable and motivated. The workouts are well thought-out and tailored to his individual goals and fitness level. In the handful of months in which he has trained at Bando, I have noticed a huge improvement in his strength, confidence, and overall fitness level. Prior to Bando, it was hard to get my son motivated to workout on a consistent basis, but he now looks forward to his workout days. Awesome facility, awesome staff, I highly recommend!

My two middle schoolers (a boy and a girl) have been training at Bando Performance in Wellesley for several months, and we’re very happy with the program. The flexible weekday scheduling is a huge benefit, seamlessly accommodating our kids’ academic and athletic commitments throughout the week. The TrainHeroic app is a standout, allowing our kids to track their progress in real-time. Bando’s atmosphere is ideal for middle schoolers - friendly, competitive, and supportive. The small group sessions ensure personalized attention when needed and ensures the athletes are safely progressing and challenging themselves appropriately. We highly recommend Bando Performance to families seeking a supportive, high-quality training program for their young athletes.

Bando Performance exceeded the expectation I had when joining their Return To Play Program after tearing my ACL in my high-school lacrosse game. Joining this program at around 5 months out of surgery allowed me enough time to train and become comfortable performing certain movements again. Just passing my 1-year mark out of surgery, I can thank Bando’s Return To Play Program for all they did as I am back to playing both ice hockey and lacrosse and will continue playing both next year at Williams College.

Bando Performance is one of the best around. The trainers are super knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you improve in all aspects. They put a large amount of time and effort into each person they train, and with the top-notch equipment they have, they put you in the best position to succeed. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Bando Performance for 5 years and have felt nothing but gratification from the work I’ve put in there. The programs are intentional and effective. The staff are personable and motivating. This is the best place to train for your sport and work toward your goals.

The staff at Bando Wellesley are extremely knowledgeable and attentive to your specific needs and goals. The facility has all of the most advanced training tools not only for getting bigger and stronger, but also faster and more explosive. This facility has everything you need to get better no matter what your goals are. The staff here are great to work with and make Bando Wellesley an awesome place to train at.

I can't speak highly enough about my experience with Bando Performance - Wellesley. I first started working with them back in 2021 to rehab a torn ACL and have continued to train there ever since. Both the staff and the resources are second to none and I can confidently say that I received the best possible care while I recovered from my injury. Since then, my work with Bando has become more generalized to focus on all aspects of my performance as an athlete and it has payed dividends, allowing me to continue to unlock more and more of my potential and assist me in competing now as a college athlete. There's no where else in New England that I would want to train.

I tore my ACL, and thanks to one-on-one training with Jason along with group sessions, I am feeling back to 100 percent. The entire staff is so nice and makes the experience so much more fun than just a workout.

My brother and I trained at Wellesley every summer during our college hockey career. The gym is top of the line and the trainers top tier.

Best of the best, Jason, Luke, Ari, Mike are the best around.

I can’t say enough good things about Bando Performance in Wellesley. The staff truly goes above and beyond with their attention to detail and the way they care for each individual athlete. Whether it’s adjusting workouts to help you bounce back from an injury or motivating you through that final rep, they’re always there to make you better. What really sets Bando in Wellesley apart is that it’s not just about lifting weights. We spend a lot of time doing sprints, agility, and movement work, which has made a big difference in my game. The lifts are also super intentional and challenging. I highly recommend coming in to see what it's all about.

Trainers are awesome, great atmosphere, perfect location. Best gym I’ve ever been to.

I had a great experience here working with Jason Byrne and all the staff are very nice, educated, personable, and hard working. The facility has all the equipment you could want or imagine for strength training and injury recovery/prevention and the staff will tailor a plan to get you healthy/stronger that matches your needs and ability. Not only that but they are flexible with schedules and always fit you in. The facility also has showers if you need to get to work after training. All in all it's a great place and if you're looking to get stronger or want to come back from an injury feeling better and more athletic than before you got hurt, I would highly recommend.
