"Larry Walker, who's 6-3 & weighs 233, reduced his body fat from 17-18% to 11-12% by working out daily with strength and speed specialist Rick Lademann. Lademann designed Walker's program specifically to enhance his baseball skills. The difference in Walker was evident from the start of spring training."

"... I would like to thank Rick Lademann for his continued hard work and dedication to the young men of the Gulf Coast High School baseball team. Coach Lademann has aided with the speed and strength training for the Shark program over the past five years. His impact has been tremendous leading our young men in the weight room to be the best they can. Since Coach Lademann began working with the Sharks, our teams have averaged 19 wins a season to only 6 losses. In the past three years, thirteen players have continued their careers at the next level. We look forward in continuing a great working relationship with Coach Lademann and wish him the best of luck in the future."
Jeff Rosa Head Baseball Coach Gulf Coast High School
"My experience with the Rick has changed my approach to my daily sports training activities in the way I see the basic goals of working out. His overall approach provided to fitness training included elements necessary for both sports and general overall physical well-being. Cardio, core strength, balance, and endurance was stressed in his workout routines. This not only improved my sports performance but overall improved my daily functioning activities. I lost weight, improved my body fat index and felt increased energy. As a 64 year old tennis player, I am not only able to get to the ball quicker without injuries but I am one of the few remaining players (my age) at the end of the game that wants to play more. My endurance has significantly been improved.
I recommend Rick's fitness programs to anyone who wants to improve their fitness."
