Check out what others are saying about Explosive Mechanics:

I have coached Danielle and Chanelle for several years. They have worked hard year round to improve as volleyball players. Jared has helped them develop into two very talented and exceptional volleyball players. The changes in their performance from their freshman year until this past year have been phenomenal. To begin with, they are stronger and quicker as a result of the additional training. As middle hitters they are now capable of moving along the net much faster than their opponents and hit with more power. Only 5' 9", both girls play like they are at least six foot tall having increased their vertical jump. Not only quicker and stronger, their jumping ability puts them in a class by themselves. Finally, the training program has helped in one more immeasurable way, they play with confidence. The training has certainly helped them improve physically, but nearly as important, the training has helped them to become extremely confident in their abilities on the court and this was evident this past season as Danielle and Chanelle both were key to our team's success this year culminating in our victory over Marist to win the 4AAAA state championship in volleyball.

As parents of 3, seeking to take our athletes to the next level, we stumbled upon Explosive Mechanics. I must say that he is one of the best kept secrets in Tyrone, GA. Jared (owner and trainer) teaches so much more than weightlifting. He teaches determination, trains athletes to focus and push beyond their perceived limits, while providing sports specific physical/strength training. He instructs with energy and displays a passion for progress, which transfers to the athletes and yields tremendous results. Jared has given my daughters more confidence and improved their explosive power, arm, legs and shoulder strength and the results have been noticed by their volleyball coaches, past and present. My son is a football and basketball player whose body has been transformed as a result of the training sessions with Explosive Mechanics. Mr. Jared sets lofty goals for the athletes he trains; but with his unique approach to explosive performance training many of my children's initial goals have already been attained. He does a fantastic job, keep up the great work Mr. J.

I have been involved with organized athletics my entire life. I am the son of a football coach, a 3 sport athlete in high school, a 4 year letter winner at the University of Wisconsin, a UW football MVP, an All Big Ten football performer, a six year Atlanta Falcon's linebacker and a lineaged Shaolin Kung Fu master. I have been trained by some of the country’s best strength & conditioning coaches. My daughter, a competitive volleyball player, needed strength training. I was very concerned about where and in particular who would be training her. After speaking with Jared and then after only one session I knew I had found the right place. It is about 130 mile round trip that I gladly make as I have not found anyone in the Metro Atlanta area who is a dedicated to the personal growth of each athlete that he trains and also has the knowledge base, philosophy and training techniques that Jared employs. Athletic development is about results and with my daughter and the other kids that she trains with, that is what has been delivered. With Jared and Explosive Mechanics there is a competitive training difference.

As an athlete Jared was one of my strongest players, because he had a strong desire for being strong and explosive.  Jared was a sponge for technique and any ideas that would make him stronger.  He never missed workouts and was always excited about being in the weight room.  Jared was also a young man who would do extra workouts on his own.  He was obsessed with movements for explosion.  He did not come in the weight room to get a pump, but to work on his power and technique. Jared also has great communication skills and is very personable.  He is a young man who could relate to anyone, and work in a positive fashion.

When my son's football coach invited us to come to Explosive Mechanics, my ten-year-old son ,Cooper, was eager, but I had a lot of questions. Jared spent a great deal of time explaining his philosophy and the science behind his workouts to me. From the research I did on my own, I discovered that the American Association of Pediatrics endorses strength training for young athletes as a way to build resistance to injury. We signed Cooper up and saw an increase in his confidence right away. Cooper loves competing against himself and tracking his weights and reps at every session.

Recently, Cooper's soccer coach told us that Cooper needed to work on some specific movements to increase his agility as a defender. I immediately called Jared, who spoke to Cooper's coach. When we arrived for Cooper's workout that evening, Jared had developed a workout for Cooper that incorporated those movements.

I cannot say enough about the positive impact that Jared and Explosive Mechanics has had on Cooper's confidence, attitude and athletic potential. My son is learning a lot about hard work as he continues to increase his ability and develop his passion for sports.

Thank you, Jared, for being such a vital part of Cooper's team!

I’ve worked out for over 4 years and I have never been faster, stronger, or been able to jump higher.

If we would have trained like this in high school we would have been a lot better.

My son is a friend of Steven Tarkenton (Newnan High Baseball) and we came with him for one of his sessions. We have noticed a distinct improvement in Steven's vertical and his agility while watching him on the church basketball team.

My daughter Rachel has been pitching for 4 years. Her pitching speed remained steady in 2008, staying roughly in the low 50mph. Since beginning training with Jared at Explosive Mechanics, her pitching speed has increased no less than 5 mph! Her softball team, Peachtree City Poison, has been with Jared all winter and is surely one of the main reasons for the team's early success!
