The staff of Compete goes above and beyond to prepare each athlete for their sport and for whatever life throws at them. Playing D1 lacrosse as a walk-on was only a dream until the Compete staff helped make it a reality. Parents of athletes and athletes who want to take their game to the next level, I highly recommend checking out this facility. You won't be disappointed.

Compete is hands down the best training experience you could get. If you want to improve exponentially as an athlete and a human, Compete is the place to go. Since training at Compete I've earned a starting spot at a DI college lacrosse program and since been named captain. The people of Compete are driven to help you achieve your goals and will do what it takes to get you there. Don't know where I'd be as an athlete without coming here.

We were looking for a place we could send our son, where they would develop skills appropriate to his age and skill set. We could not be more impressed with the leadership and mentoring from every coach and their commitment to give 110% to each kid. Our son looks forward to each session and has developed mentally and physically thanks to Compete.

My son was part of the youth Foundations training program this summer, led by Coach Kevin. This was an excellent program and experience for my son. He was apprehensive at the beginning but Coach Kevin immediately made him feel welcome. The program itself is a perfect way for youth athletes to be introduced to overall fitness and wellness. The kids spent time in the fieldhouse and the gym, and kept a diary of exercises as well as a food journal, which was reviewed by Coach Kevin. He was noticeably faster and stronger after only a few sessions. Coach Kevin did an incredible job with all parts of the program and my son is looking forward to continuing over the winter.

A one-stop-shop for competitive athletes boasting excellent strength & conditioning, physical therapy and athletic training services. The Compete staff can help any athlete define, work towards and eventually achieve short-, medium- and long-term goals through their comprehensive, detail-oriented approach. Highly recommended - a gem of New England athletics.

D1 athlete factory. I can’t think of another place on earth where you’ll find a group of coaches 100% dedicated to the success of their athletes like at Compete. Joe Drain and his staff have created a gym where players learn to set goals and hold themselves to a standard that isn’t often achieved elsewhere. Great gym. Even better people!

I play soccer at Boston College. I have gone to Compete off and on for a couple years now and have noticed drastic improvements in my speed, strength, and overall confidence as an athlete. Compete has the best trainers and human beings. You will leave a better athlete and person than when you first came to Compete S&C.

I was fortunate enough to train with Joe throughout my entire high school career and it transformed my strength and conditioning. I was one of the first athletes to join Compete back in the very beginning, and I can truly say this is the best gym for any athlete to excel at the next level. Compete has helped me well beyond my athletic career. Years later I am still using the techniques and workout programs learned back in the day to get in the best shape of my life. I highly recommend any young athlete to train at Compete - you will reach peak performance under Joe and the rest of the coaching staff.

Compete has been absolutely amazing in helping me be a stronger dancer! Irish dance is a unique sport, and they have worked hard to understand the dance style and customize a program to help me be the best I can be. I saw major improvements in my competitive results after starting with compete, and I credit this to Coach Kyle and the rest of the team!! Taylor has also been amazing in keeping my feet and legs feeling great while training and competing!

Hard work at Compete SC pays off. My son enrolled with his team for focused training twice a week and spent the other three days in the gym at school or at practice. The techniques Joe and his team taught will serve him well as he matures. He got noticeably bigger, stronger and faster during the two sessions. The team also formed a bond by working out together. We are looking forward to all of them competing against all of the other teams that work out there this spring. I highly recommend Compete SC for anyone looking to get to the next level.

Compete SC and the trainers have helped me reach my next level in my athletics and as a person. This gym teaches the importance of consistency and pushing yourself every day to be better. The coaches really care about each athlete; as a college athlete, I workout summers only but I keep in touch with the coaches all year long thru social media and other forms of communication. Great relationships and great habits are formed here, along with new PRs. This gym will not disappoint!

Compete is absolutely outstanding. Don’t think there’s a better group of people at any training facility (or any workplace, for that matter) anywhere else in the country. I’ve grown tremendously both as an athlete and as a person since my time at Compete began. Easiest five star review in the world.

Joe Drain has built the best gym and and an even better team. All of the trainers are wonderful and whether I am working out or doing therapy I am supported and my needs and goals are the top priority. They are family!

Compete is the best place for training! The staff is absolutely amazing. They all care about helping me get to where I want to be as an athlete. They make all the workouts fun and challenging. I wake up excited to get a great workout at compete!

Compete SC is AMAZING! I absolutely love it and all the staff. It’s such a positive environment and great place to grow! Not only do the coaches and staff care about your physical health but they also make sure you are doing well as a whole person. The workouts are great and can be altered if you are injured. The culture of the program is unlike any other training facility. I am able to check in with the trainer if I injure myself and then also get physical therapy, all in the same place. Going to Compete SC has made me a stronger athlete and introduced me to some of my favorite people!

This is the best gym in the world if you want to play college sports. Unbelievably good culture of people trying to get better. The program makes you significantly stronger and faster - while also dramatically reducing injury risk. To put the cherry on top, there is a massive facility for skill development. This was vital to improving my skills during the winter months ahead of the season starting in spring. Joe organizes all sorts of games with live action. Compete SC is the single best customer experience I have had in any product I have ever purchased. 1000/5

I play lacrosse at Boston College. I train at Compete because of the intentional coaching I receive in order to reach my potential as an athlete and compete at an elite level. In one summer, I have seen drastic improvements in my explosiveness and speed. Anyone who is looking to find coaches committed to pushing you every time you walk in the door, Compete is the place.

I play lax at Providence College, and have now trained at Compete for over two years. Joe and his staff are the best around, and I strongly recommend to anyone trying to play at a higher level in any sport. My speed and strength improved through their coaching, and I have been educated on how to treat my body through their coaching. Aside from all of the benefits, the staff are people who give you incredible attention, support, and love to help you develop as an athlete and person.

I play Division 3 Lacrosse, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the training I receive at Compete is second to none. Between the high-intensity lifts, speed work, and physical therapy, returning to school in the fall feels like an effortless transition. I went into the summer looking to increase my overall strength, and even being nicked up from the season, the staff was more than happy to modify workouts that worked just for me, which allowed me to train and return to school stronger than ever. In addition to the services available at Compete, the people who work there truly make it a special place. Even while holding you accountable and pushing you to new limits, the staff's care makes the facility feel like a second home. If you are looking to find success in college athletics, training at Compete is a no-brainer.

I can’t even put into words how absolutely amazing all of the Compete coaches are and how much they have helped me find my deepest motivations for success. I haven’t even been training with them for a year yet, but it has completely changed who I am as an athlete and a person. To them, it’s not just about what you achieve in your sport on the field, but instead, the habits and mindset that go with that next level experience. I am learning what it means to fuel your body correctly, how to gain the most power, strength, speed, etc, how to take care of myself after grinding week after week in the gym and at lacrosse, and how to be more confident and mentally tough. My game has changed dramatically in just a couple months because their training is like no other. Every athlete there is willing to work their hardest to get to the next level and every coach is there to guide us and push us farther. They truly care about all of their athletes and would do anything to see them succeed. Going to Compete is the highlight of my week and I can’t imagine not having it in my life. I am going to be ready for the next level because of them!

The best training environment you could possibly want. Joe puts everything into the program which has resulted in everyone at Compete matching his level of commitment. I could not have asked for a better experience these last 4 years!

Compete is the best environment with a great staff that is always willing to help. All the coaches truly want the best for your athletic career. Great place to workout and improve as an athlete. Highly recommend.

The staff at Compete give their 100% to make you the best athlete you can be. Since my first day here, I felt welcomed and could tell everyone there wanted me to get better. I have had immense progression with my speed and strength since the summer, all thanks to the people at Compete.

Compete has tremendously helped me, not only as an athlete but as a person. Every coach there is knowledgeable, and knows how to meet each athletes needs. They help you to get physically and mentally stronger. I joined compete last summer and have seen a great improvement in my speed and my strength.

Compete is such a great place! No matter the time of day, season, or whether it’s a weekday or weekend, as soon as you walk through the doors you are greeted with energy and enthusiasm from the staff. It’s impossible not to get pumped up too! The name of the facility is perfect because you can truly feel the love and passion every person there has for sports and competition. I’ve met so many great athletes and coaches that inspire me. As a collegiate track athlete, I usually was one of the minorities representing my sport, but it never felt that way. All of my training was personalized to enhance my performance based on the coaches’ extensive knowledge and interest in how I was doing. If you go to Compete, you will gain technical skills in sports, a solid life philosophy, and strength and speed that will serve you forever! Plus, they have a dog named Rudy who is awesome and so cute. Thanks for everything Joe, Rick, Chula, Deirdre, Sam, Matt, and everyone else!

You will not find a better staff and facility anywhere. Joe and his staff put the athletes first. They preach injury prevention while pushing the athletes to achieve their goals. I highly recommend Compete for any athlete looking to take the next step.
