TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Thanks to the training I've done with Adam DeGroot over the years, I felt completely prepared going into my freshman year of college volleyball. I came in feeling strong, explosive, and confident in my ability to compete at the D1 level. Adam is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also such a warm and welcoming person. He truly sees potential in every athlete and brings out the best in everyone he works with. The work we put in gave me a real edge, and I can't thank him enough for helping me get to this point!"

Ava Grevengoed

Northern Illinois Volleyball

"Training with Nightshade Training and Coach Adam DeGroot has helped me improve not only on the playing field/court but off it as well. This facility creates a positive work environment that pushes athletes to excel in both their sports and their lives. Personally, Coach DeGroot's approach to the weight room has tremendously impacted my game by utilizing new technologies to measure things such as force and to keep athletes healthy while also being able to push them to reach their goals. In my experience I have become a more explosive, powerful, and effective athlete from working out here. There are not enough good things to be said and I highly recommend that you come and workout at Nightshade!"

Nightshade Training has helped me transform my game by getting me ready for long basketball seasons. The training I have received from Coach Adam prepared me for college basketball and gave me a leg up in the weight room from the moment I got there.
