Driven Fitness & Performance - Gym

Eleven years ago around the time I first heard the name Gary Vesper, “Driven” was just a duffel bag full of resistance bands, carried by one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. As a high school athlete, Gary prepared me to be quicker and stronger than I had ever thought possible on the field. He not only built up my speed and strength, but my confidence, as I saw my skills skyrocket around my sophomore year of high school. Gary also used his experience to safely get me back into baseball after a non-athletic related knee procedure, all but guaranteeing that I would come back stronger than ever.

Fast forward to the present, I am a frequent attendee at Driven’s afternoon sessions, coming in after work to decompress after a long day, and getting strong while doing it. I consider both Gary and Brandon (a former Driven athlete-turned-trainer) good friends of mine, as they have created an incredible environment and a wonderful community of people seeking out various fitness goals. Whether you are seeking to regain strength after rehabbing an injury, trying to bench 1,000 pounds, or just trying to promote your own general wellness, Driven is the place for you.

If you are looking to become a better overall athlete, Driven is where it all starts! I trained at Driven during the last two years of my college career and I wish I started sooner. Gary and his staff are the best strength and speed coaches in northern NJ without a doubt! Gary really cares about his athletes in the gym, on the field, and off the field which is what makes Driven such a special place.

Driven is the best in the business! I trained with Gary for 14 years. He not only has the technical knowledge to help every athlete level up, but he takes personal interest in every athlete’s craft. He invests in his athletes at both a performance and personal level that is unmatched, allowing every athlete achieve their goals. I couldn’t have made the jump from the Middle School to High School to the Collegiate level without him. I highly recommend Gary and Driven to every athlete, no matter what their goals may be!

I have been weight training at Driven for about a year. When I moved to the area I tried another gym first that was closer to my home but left after feeling I wasn’t making progress. I decided to join Driven because I felt it was everything I was looking for. Gary designs everyone’s training program that is unique and individualized to one’s specific needs. I have grown in my strength and muscle building. He cares about your form and wants you to progress. Driven is not like other gyms. Gary cares and isn’t charging ridiculous prices and throwing together programs just to increase your heart rate. If you want a good quality work out routine, perfect your form, be stronger in your body, Driven is the place. The members at Driven are welcoming and you never feel judged. My only regret is that I didn’t start here first.

Gary Vesper is well-educated in his field and knows how to work with people of all ages- from high school sports teams to adults looking to strengthen core and stay in shape. His methods are proven and he has the track record to show. Trust Driven Fit & Performance, you will see serious results when taken seriously!
