Client Stories
Real People. Real Results.
Over 7,500 athletes trained. Here's what some of them have to say.
★★★★★
Coach Plez changed my son's entire trajectory. He went from a no-name prospect to a full D1 scholarship in one year. It wasn't just the physical training — Coach invested in his mindset, his film study, and his confidence. I can't put a price on what CBP did for our family.

Marcus T.Parent — D1 Scholarship Athlete, Class of 2023
★★★★★
I was 40 pounds overweight and hadn't worked out in years. The Breakfast Club crew made me feel like an athlete again. Down 38 lbs in 5 months. Best decision I ever made.

Darnell W.Adult Client — Breakfast Club
★★★★★
The AOD program is the real deal. My technique in press coverage went from average to something coaches noticed on film. Signed my D1 letter of intent 6 months after starting.
JR
Jaylen R.DB — Division 1 Signee
★★★★★
Coach Steven took my 40 time from a 4.7 to a 4.51 in 8 weeks. Science-based and it actually works. My acceleration off the line is completely different now.
KB
Kevin B.WR — High School Prospect
★★★★★
Trained with Coach Drew and put on 18 lbs of muscle in one off-season while cutting body fat. He understands athlete bodies — my strength numbers went through the roof.

Anthony L.D-Lineman — Junior College
★★★★★
As a mom who never played sports I was nervous. CBP made me feel welcome from day one. Lost 22 lbs and I actually look forward to waking up at 5am now. That says everything.

Sandra P.Adult Client — Boot Camp
★★★★★
TD trained my son through his entire junior year. The attention to detail and athlete-first mentality here is different from anything we've experienced. CBP is family.

The mentorship helped me navigate recruiting with confidence. Coach Plez told me the truth even when it was hard to hear — that's exactly what got me where I am today.
