Happy 45 years young to my beautiful wife! You are an amazing mother to our three children and truly the most selfless person I know. You give everything you have to our family and always put everyone else before yourself. One thing you always say is, “Just be grateful for the things we have.” That says so much about the kind of person you are and the values you bring to our family. I hope you have a wonderful birthday because you deserve nothing but the best. We are so blessed to have you, and I love you more than words can express. Happy Birthday Babe! Michelle Rousse

Before using our program, Colton Diamond was already a standout baseball player at Riverside Academy. In just four weeks, he’s added 10 pounds of muscle through a personalized training program, targeted nutrition, and the right supplementation.

Our approach is built around Colton’s specific needs, with an emphasis on developing his posterior chain (backside) to increase strength, power, flexibility, and overall athletic performance. By focusing on balanced development, we’re helping him become stronger, more explosive, and better prepared to perform at the next level.

Ethan Kimmie put the work in before heading to the Under Armour Camp in Ohio — and it showed. By staying consistent with his training, focusing on speed mechanics, explosiveness, and preparation at The Duke Academy, Ethan dropped his 40 time to an impressive 4.44. Hard work pays off when preparation meets opportunity. 🔥

We’re excited to introduce Tyrone Mathieu III to The Duke Academy family.

Tyrone came to The Duke Academy with a goal — to put on 20 pounds of muscle before heading off to play college football — and over the last 3 months he has done exactly that.

Through discipline, consistency, and hard work, Tyrone has gained 20 pounds of muscle while continuing to improve his speed, explosiveness, and overall athletic performance.

We’re proud of the work he’s putting in every single day and excited to continue being a part of his journey. The future is bright for this young man.
