Kelsie Baker (GR Christian ’28 🥍) spends her weekends traveling to lacrosse camps, competing in front of college coaches.

She’s trained at PowerStrength Kentwood since January to get faster and stronger for that next level.

Kelsie attends 2 sessions each week and brings it every session - even on days she isn’t feeling 100%.

Her coaches see the change in how she moves: more confident, more willing to push herself, and more ready for a full lacrosse season.
Keep going, Kelsie! 💪

Liberty Pyper (Zeeland West ’29 🥎) came to PowerStrength Holland in June with 2 goals: get stronger and make her first step faster.

She trains 2 sessions per week and has kept it going through a Fall softball schedule full of scrimmages.

In just the last 4-months she has dropped her fully-electric 10-yard sprint by .23 seconds and added over 7” to her max broad jump!

A faster first step with more power behind it, exactly what she came here for. Great work, Liberty! 💪

Before his 8th grade year, Grayson Carpenter (Byron Center ’31 🏀) spent his Summer playing up with the Varsity basketball team.

He’s trained at PowerStrength Byron Center for 10 months, 2 times a week alongside skill work, practices, and games. He came in wanting to get stronger, jump higher, and learn how to train the right way.

10 months in, he’s 20 lbs heavier and still faster and more explosive:

🚀 He added 4.5 inches to his Approach Vertical Jump: +4.5”
⚡ Dropped his Fully-electric 10-yard sprint by almost a full tenth of a second (–0.09)

Getting bigger while getting faster isn’t easy. We’re proud of the work, Grayson! 💪

Teague Albert (FHC ’30 ⚾) began with us at PowerStrength 3 years ago. Ever since he has trained 2 sessions each week, even during his sport seasons.

He first got started because athletes from his Sluggers team and program were following a specific program for baseball athletes.

Lately, he’s been working on lateral power, upper back strength, size, and quickness.

Outside the gym, he’s always working on his pitching and hitting, and the power is showing up at the plate. He just set a new exit velocity PR: 86 mph!

Way to work, Teague! Keep setting the example. 💪

Velo that lasts at least 5 innings. That is the goal.

Our Director of Training, Skyler, teaches our coaches how to build pitchers who hold it for 5 innings. Coaching and guidance tailored specifically to what each athlete needs.

Speed was already a strength of Myah’s when she walked into PowerStrength Holland. She just wanted to sharpen it and get even better.

Myah Kemppainen (Zeeland West ’28 ⚽🏀) started with us a couple months ago and trains 2 sessions a week through a full Fall soccer schedule.

She’s building upper and lower body strength that is feeding other athletic qualities. She’s fine-tuning her speed through various acceleration and top-speed mechanics.

Basketball season is up next, and she’ll be ready for it. Great work, Myah! 💪

We Get To!

Yesterday, over 500 West Michigan area high school students gathered at Aquinas College for the Get To Foundation event featuring Austin Hatch.

Austin Hatch told his storying of surviving 2 plane crashes that took his parents and siblings, came out of a 2-month coma, and went on to continue his dream of playing basketball at the University of Michigan.

Austin shared his framework with students on what it looks like to have grit and persevere.
We’re proud to sponsor this event as it was Get To Foundation’s first "Inspire Speaker Series event in West Michigan. More to come!

Thank you to the Get To Foundation for bringing this to our community and to Aquinas College for hosting.

Makenna Funk (Hopkins ’28 🥎) has trained with us for 5 months, committing to 2 sessions per week at PowerStrength Byron Center while chasing a spot on a college roster. She wanted more power in her swing and a faster first step out of the box.

The plan was to build general strength first, then add power work to teach her how to use it.

5 months in and it’s working with over 7” adder to her horizontal power and a half tenth off her fully-electric 10-yard sprint.

She also brings incredible energy into the gym and loves getting to know the people training around her. Great work, Makenna! 💪
