 "As a pitcher and third basemen I wanted to strengthen my core, increase my quickness, and strengthen my throwing arm. I have worked with COACH Jim Tang for three years and I have grown tremendoulsy in each area, thanks to COACH TANG's intense workouts. When I began working with him I was able to throw a baseball in the upper 70s. Now, I am entering college with a 90 mph fastball. I'm very grateful for what COACH has done for me, and look forward to training with him in the future."  |  Mike K., varsity baseballCOLL 

"I have been working with COACH Jim Tang and Blackline Athletic for about a year now. I have never felt stronger. I thought I was in good shape before working with COACH TANG; I could run fast and was the appropriate weight for my height. I started training with Blackline in order to get ready for a football combine in April 2009. I realized after my first few workouts with Him that the shape I was in wasn't my best.  He devises workouts that challenge me week after week and makes me stronger, fitter and leaner. Today, I'm in the best shape I have ever been in."  |  Brian M., VARSITY FOOTBALL

"This past year, coach jim tang at blackline athletic helped Billy focus on core training along with glute / quad in order to help increase his pitching for his sophomore year. As a side benefit, his hitting has improved and has moved up to batting 4th or 5th in the lineup, creaming 370 foot home runs! We look forward to training again with jim after baseball season is complete. Thanks for everything, we really appreciate the relationship!"  |  doug p. (father of billy p., varsity baseball) 

“As a tight end I desired to be quicker, faster, and more explosive. Mr. Tang developed a personal training program that maximized my performance in new and innovative ways. I've entered my junior year of football feeling more prepared and confident to perform at a higher level.“  |  -Greg p. Jr., varsity baseball

“I really appreciate the time and thought Jim put into designing drills specific to Greg's athletic improvement. He enjoys working with him. My wife and I have talked Jim up to others and will continue to do so.”  |  Greg p. Sr. (Father of Greg p. Jr.)

"I am a 16 year old training with COACH Jim TANG. Being a baseball player, I felt I needed to increase my quickness, core strength and endurance. Working with Jim helped me attain these things, as well as improving upon other aspects of my fitness. He has prepared me for my baseball season and I feel more ready than ever to step on the field. I feel more confident while playing and I owe this to Mr. Tang."  |  Alex S., VARSITY BASEBALL

“I am a 17 year old male training with COACH Jim TANG, and I have to thank him for all he has done. His intense hour-long workout has strengthened my legs, core, and upper body. I have been training with him for 8 weeks and have already lost 15 pounds; in place of that weight I’ve lost, I’ve gained some muscle. The agility drills we do have really improved my defense in basketball; I'm no longer slow when it comes to foot work or moving with the player I'm guarding.”  |  Jeremy R., VARSITY BASKETBALL

"I can’t speak highly enough about the training my son received from Blackline Athletic. He just turned 15 and began working with Coach Jim Tang this fall to increase speed and agility. He has always been a naturally quick and agile athlete in both football and baseball. However, as he began to grow in height, he was feeling a little unnatural and slower; unaccustomed to his longer legs. In just one intense workout this past fall, he quickly realized coach Tang’s training methods would bring the results he was looking for, allowing him to re-gain his speed and agility. While he recognized coach Tang’s workouts were likely the most intense training he has had so far as an athlete, he was excited to go each week and completed 6 sessions. This training will result in better results on any field of play, be it baseball, football, basketball, track or any other sport. My son will continue to work with Blackline going forward."  |  Pete P.

"My eleven-year-old daughter, Amanda, had fun at the SPARQ training sessions over the summer. Her speed and agility were much improved, preparing her well for the upcoming long soccer season. The trainer was always well prepared and the flexible scheduling helped make everything fit nicely into Amanda's complex schedule. Thanks so much! She is already looking forward to her next session"  |  Jay B. (Father of Amanda B., JR. SOCCER)

“My seven-year-old son Joseph started playing little league this summer. Joseph was disappointed in himself due to the fact he was not keeping up with the other boys on the team. I called Jim at Blackline Athletic and explained my son’s issues with running and agility. After just one session with Jim, Joseph could not wait to go back the following week for training. Ten sessions later, Joseph has made amazing improvements in both his speed and agility! Jim is a great motivator. What makes his skills so good is he loves his job and the kids love him. Thanks to Jim’s training, Joseph is now playing soccer, keeping up with the other kids and feeling good about himself."   |  Mike G. (Father of Joe g., JR. soccer)

“Thanks again for the great work you did with our twelve-year-old son, Matt. Since he began with you, he has tried out for travel basketball and baseball teams and we've noticed that he is faster, more confident, more athletic, and has greater endurance. I know you pushed him very hard during each session, yet he loved it! You have an ability to make the hardest workout enjoyable by varying the routines, keeping an upbeat attitude, and giving the right amount of encouragement. I also appreciate the way you modeled for Matt a strong work ethic and a professional attitude toward your coaching. Matt is looking forward to working again with you after baseball season next year! You did everything we hoped for in a personal trainer by planning great individual sessions and improving his form and movement. I gladly will recommend you to anyone who is looking for the best possible performance training.”  |  Ken & Linda C. (Parents of Matt c., jR. BASKETBALL)
