RELATIONSHIPS MATTER. RESULTS MATTER, TOO.

At ETS NW Metro, we pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our athletes and families. We care about who our athletes are beyond the gym, and we’re invested in who they’re becoming both on and off the turf.

But let’s be honest: you don’t come to ETS just for the relationships. You come here to get better.

Stronger. Faster. More explosive. More confident in what your body can do.

And we believe you deserve to see that progress, not just hear us talk about it.

That’s why we use VALD Performance technology to objectively measure progress, track improvements, and hold ourselves accountable to helping every athlete move forward.

Every number on these graphics represents an athlete’s hard work, consistency, and commitment to the process. Our job is to provide the coaching, programming, and environment to turn that effort into measurable results.

The relationships are what make this place special. The results are why you’re here. And the two should never be mutually exclusive.

Three years of growth, progress, and memories… and stories like this are what it’s all about.

We’re incredibly grateful for the families who have trusted us to be part of their athletes’ journeys. The physical progress is great, but watching these kids grow in confidence, character, and work ethic is what makes it all worthwhile.

FEATURE FRIDAY: 3 YEARS OF ETS NW METRO!

Three years. Countless athletes. Hundreds of families. More PRs, accomplishments, laughs, and memories than we could ever fit into one post.

When we look back on the last three years, we think about every athlete who has stepped onto our turf and trusted us to be a part of their journey. We think about the families who have supported us and believe in what we do. We think about the PRs, the milestones, the breakthroughs, and the accomplishments we’ve celebrated both inside our four walls and out in the community.

But most importantly, we think about the RELATIONSHIPS. We think about the laughs between sets, the conversations after training, the little victories that turned into big ones, and the moments that reminded us why we do what we do.

Because ETS NW Metro has never been just about getting stronger, running faster, or jumping higher. It’s about investing in people. It’s about creating an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, encouraged, and genuinely cared for. It’s about being in their corner not only in the gym, but out in the community, at their games, and throughout the journey of growing up.

Every athlete who has trained with us, every family that has supported us, and every person who has been a part of this community has helped make ETS NW Metro what it is today.

Three years in, and we know this is about so much more than a gym. It’s a community we’re incredibly proud to be a part of.

THANK YOU for being a part of our first three years. Here’s to the athletes we’ll continue to develop, the families we’ll continue to serve, the goals we’ll continue to chase, and the relationships we’ll continue to build.

The goal isn’t to MAKE athletes work hard. It’s to create an environment where they WANT to 💯

You can demand effort. You can demand intensity. You can demand that athletes push through adversity.

The best environments build something deeper.

They build relationships. They build trust. They build a culture where athletes want to give their best because they know the people around them genuinely care about them.

And that doesn’t happen just because we coach a great training session.

It happens when we show up to their games. When we ask how their season is going. When we celebrate their wins, support them through their losses, and take an interest in who they are OUTSIDE of our four walls.

Because our athletes are more than just the reps they complete, the weights they lift, or the times they run.

When kids know you care about them as people, they start to care about giving you their best.

Not because they’re afraid of disappointing you. Not because they’re being forced to.

But because they WANT to.

That’s the kind of environment we want to build at ETS. One where hard work isn’t something we have to force out of our athletes. It’s something they choose to bring every single day.

Relationships first. Trust second. The work takes care of itself. 🤝

🔥 FEATURE FRIDAY: BENNETT & JACKSON 🔥

Bennett and Jackson may have only joined us at the beginning of September, but they didn’t need much time to make an impression on our coaching staff!

Their work ethic, coachability, and willingness to take feedback and apply it have stood out from day one.

Those are the qualities that make a difference over the long haul. Show up, put in the work, listen to your coaches, and commit to getting a little better every day.

We’re excited to see what these two accomplish as they continue to grow and develop. Keep it up, guys!

We have a bittersweet Feature Friday this week.

Today was Coach Jalen’s last day with us at our Northwest Metro facility, as he is transitioning to a new role with ETS starting next week. Jalen will be the Lead Performance Coach with our partnership with Hoop Habits, in Eden Prairie. He has earned every bit of this opportunity!

If you have even been on the training floor for just a single session with Jalen, you know how special he is. He brings the juice every day, shows up for our athletes outside of the facility on a consistent basis, and is just a flat out exceptional human being. He has been a crucial part of the growth of our facility here in Rogers, and will no doubt foster an ELITE culture with Hoop Habits!

Now.. show Coach Jalen some love in the comments!
