Danny McLarty

Danny received his B.S. in K-12 physical education from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Danny played NCAA basketball at the University and was recently inducted to the Illinois Basketball Hall of Fame in April of 2007. Danny's credentials include being a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA and a Planned Periodization Specialist through Tudor Bompa, an internationally renowned strength coach. One of Danny's specialties includes over a decade of one-on-one and group basketball coaching. The lessons are intended for boys and girls to help develop their ball-handling skills and to improve their ability to get open, with and without the ball.

As an accomplished athlete and now a trainer, Danny feels that "there is no 'magic trick' to improving your body; train, eat, sleep, and repeat. Those that are consistent, disciplined, and give everything they have, can bring their health, physique, and
 performance to a new level."

Motivational Quote

" Nothing average ever stood as a monument to progress. When progress is looking for a partner it doesn't turn to those who believe they are only average. It turns instead to those who are forever searching and striving to become the best they possibly can."

Now for the important results: through exercise, my blood pressure has greatly improved as well as my cholesterol. If you are considering this program, you owe it to yourself!"
