My son has participated in the Quarter Back Academy/ Junior Performance Training and one on sessions at Black Sheep. Every single time we walk through the door we are welcomed and have an incredible experience. The culture is full of energy and positivity every time we go. Every trainer we have had the experience to work with has been nothing less than stellar. The communication has been open and very professional. I am so happy to have found a place for my son to have such a positive and rewarding experience! We look forward to many years to come!
Im in my 60s and I had four compression fractures (in my spine) repaired earlier this year. After physical therapy, I needed to find a way to keep moving and improving. Then I discovered Jonathan at Black Sheep Performance and I am thrilled with my progress there. Ive had a dozen sessions, and feel younger, stronger, and healthier. I have never felt sore after a workout. Jonathan began with where I was physically, and has added more (stretch, lift, bend, walk) into each session, just at the right pace. This gym is a gem. You go to a workout, feel welcomed, feel appreciated, feel challenged, and you always leave feeling better. The trainers are excellent; I think Ive met them all and get encouragement from each one. Please, give this gym a call and give it a chance. If I can do it, you can, too.
I love this place! I have been going here for a while and I can only say good things about the facility, and everyone that works there. Everyone is so nice and friendly. I workout with Sarah and she knows her stuff like the back of her hand. She helped me get so much stronger and I was more than ready to go back to college! 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to either just stay in shape or be a vicious athlete!
I’ve been going to Michelle’s classes in the morning and I love it! With Michelle, you’re going to get a GREAT workout and also have a lot of fun. Even though it’s a group, she’s is always there to guide you or help you push through a difficult set. It feels like personal training. She has also gathered a great group who come to these classes with awesome attitudes and work ethics. Can’t wait to see how my overall fitness improves with Michelle!
Black Sheep Performance is the best gym I’ve ever trained at. The atmosphere and energy in Michelle’s 6AM class motivates me to give my best everyday! Michelle is very knowledgeable in the fitness world and always has an accommodation if needed. She also pushes me to achieve my health and wellness goals. BSP is worth every penny. So proud to be apart of the family!
I have been training with Sarah for nearly a year now. Every workout is different, and every workout is challenging. Sarah has helped me mentally and physically recover through a very difficult period in my life, thanks to our workouts.Black Sheep is an extremely upbeat environment. The energy throughout the facility is consistently that of excellence, and always positive. Trainers strive to draw out the best efforts in both their clients, and in other trainers.I would highly recommend Black Sheep Performance for ANYONE in search of a training facility- athlete, or no!
Sarah is an excellent trainer! She is a professional, is always prepared and on time, and knows how to push me to perform at my best. As a 49 year old with some previous injuries, I need a trainer that can not only accommodate my needs, but help me gain strength and flexibility while achieving my personal goals. I highly recommend Sarah for all your personal training needs!
I started training with Sarah because we were employed by the same company and I trusted her. I have EDS. That means I have some joint and ligament challenges. She was encouraging. She told me not to be scared of working out because she would get me through it, and she does just that every week. She knows just how far to push me. She knows how to keep me going. She has more faith in me with what I am capable of doing than I do. She knows how to modify a workout for me if something isn’t quite working for me. The environment in the gym is so positive. If anyone is nervous about getting away from doing all cardio and adding weights, I highly recommend getting yourself a trainer. I couldn’t be on this journey without her.
Great facilities and even better personnel. Has a family atmosphere with everyone working together and pushing each other to get better. My son has made great progress, and we will definitely be back after football season. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get extra training for their kids.
I’ve been training with Sarah at Black Sheep Performance and so impressed by the facility, equipment and all the trainers. Everyone is very friendly and upbeat. Sarah is an incredibly talented trainer. She keeps me motivated to work on my goals. Love it here!
I absolutely love training here!!! My trainer Michelle does an amazing job of pushing me to achieve my goals and to grow as an athlete! I have built more muscle and gained more strength than I ever thought possible. I also love the facility and the team atmosphere!!
Every thing and everyone at Black Sheep is there to encourage you to be your best. As a 60+ woman with all kinds of health issues I always feel better physically and mentally after a workout with the coaching team. I highly recommend anyone looking to improve their athleticism, recover from injury or overcome pain. This is the place to be.
I trained at Black Sheep for several months, 1:1 sessions with Dak, as a way to jumpstart getting back into weights and conditioning. Having been inconsistent in going to the gym for over a year, it was just what I needed. Pat, Dak and the rest of the staff are highly qualified and I feel lucky to have worked with them. The facility has all top notch equipment and provides great space for a wide variety of training options. Given the type of elite athletes they work with at Black Sheep, I wasnt certain how I would be received. They couldnt have been more welcoming. Highly recommend Black Sheep to anyone looking for personal training, classes, and a wide variety of athlete specific training for youth through college age, with particular emphasis on football training programs.
Have been training with Pat as a part of my fall marathon training. Top notch cross training that has me feeling like a stronger runner even after a few weeks. Would recommend for any athlete at any level.
Black Sheep continues to exceed expectations. My son does the D-Line training and I do the adult training, which is one reason why we love Black Sheep. No matter your age, goals, or skill level; they push you to be a better person mentally and physically every day. We have been members for 2 months now and we are already seeing results on and off the field. We will be long time members as my kids continue to grow and have a passion in sports. Thank you Coach Dak and Coach Nick and all of Black Sheep Coaches for what you do!!!!
Strongly admire and respect Black Sheep Performance and their journey of guiding the tenacious pursuit of goals for their clients. The systematic approach to scheduling, and program offerings is at the top tier of athletic performance facilities. Cincinnati athletes looking for an elite culture and environment would do themselves well by attending BSP. Much respect to the dynamic and caring leadership for continued growth, excitement and navigating the ever changing landscape of performance. We wish you all much success and we highly recommend.
My home away from home. There’s nothing I don’t love about BSP. Thankful to have people like Pat, Danny and the other trainers there with me every day for the last couple years to help me develop both physically and mentally. All love here.
Nothing but great experiences when I workout at Black Sheep. Very knowledgeable trainers, energetic, friendly, and just all around great atmosphere to train at. Highly recommend!
Couldnt recommend BSP and Dak more if you are looking to maximize your athletic performance. I played soccer professionally and wished I had this training while competing. Great atmosphere to get after it!
I have known Pat and some of his team for several years now. It’s few and far between when you have a combination of facility and trainers like this place has. Top notch facility. Top notch trainers! Whether you are a professional athlete, average adult needing some fitness, or youth looking to get better at your future craft - this place makes it happen for everyone. I only wish they had a facility like this in Denver!
I have been enjoying my time working out at BSP. I first began some months ago when I was training with Fleet Feet for a marathon. They suggested cross-training with BSP. I first started with personal trainer (Ty), he really helped me with stretching and flexibility, which helped me tremendously with my marathon. Then I decided to join the group workout class. It has been challenging and fun. It is a great group of participants...which is probably due to our group trainer Michelle, who is always encouraging and motivating. I appreciate how she modifies any exercise or move to my ability. She is helping me meet my goals. Everyone at BSP is very friendly and always happy to see you. It is an awesome environment!
Great team of people that provide quality work to prepare you for anything you want to train or workout for. So happy with the decision I made.
Great gym and even better atmosphere to increase your overall health and wellness. Every trainer is fully trustworthy for each exercise or lift. I will continue to go to BSP as long as I’m in the area.
Great gym with an awesome environment. High school performance training groups are very individualized and trainers care about every single athlete. The energy is something you can’t find anywhere else.
I had the privilege of interning at BSP during the summer of 2021. The trainers here at Black Sheep are truly one of a kind. The focus and intention they put into every workout is amazing and a testament to their vast experience. One of the special aspects of BSP training is the emphasis on teaching the “why” behind each movement. The workouts are creative and are proven to improve performance. Not only are the staff great trainers but they are great people. The atmosphere at Black Sheep is infectious. Everyone is welcoming, kind, and pushes each other to be the best version of themselves. The BSP team cares about every person that steps into the door and takes the time to form a relationship that goes beyond the workout. If you want a sense of accomplishment, community, and knowledge then come experience Black Sheep Performance! I am beyond grateful for the impact BSP has had on my life and cannot wait to see what the future holds!
Dak and the other trainers at BSP are the most knowledgeable that Ive worked with, and everyone in the gym is always very encouraging. I cant recommend this place enough!
As a 52 year old man with hip and knee issues, I was looking for someone to first understand my situation and then motivate me to do more than I believed I could do. I found that and much more @ BSP. I have now worked with Dak since May preparing for my hip replacement surgery and I believe I am at place that will optimize the outcome. I cant say enough good things about the environment and people of BSP. Never have I questioned my 45 minute drive to the gym. Cant wait to see what I can do at BSP after surgery.I LOVE the BSP GANG!!!Andy K
My oldest son has been training with Patrick, Javon and Danny, among others, for about 18 months now. Patrick and Javon have helped him further develop his skills as a quarterback through their use of whiteboard/chalk talks and the drills they run. Patrick has been very open to working with my son to find the most appropriate throwing motion for him, rather than trying to get his throwing motion to fit the way that Patrick wants it to look. This is a refreshing approach from a QB coach, in our experience. Our introduction to BSP was with Danny and doing performance training, though my son has now moved up to work with some of the other trainers. Within the first session, a love of working out and improving became evident, and his functional strength has continued to develop. Hes gone from a lean 5th grader with slouching shoulders and the inability to do a single real pushup to a strong 7th grader repping out pushups for fun.
Through high school, college and the years since, I have trained and lifted on my own to achieve my fitness goals. I had success, but ended up sacrificing proper form and technique for more weight. I had two labrum repairs last year, and I came back determined to start from scratch and learn from my mistakes.I reached out to Pat Coyne because of his business’ burgeoning reputation of success training athletes, and he immediately paired my based on my goals with Dak Notestine. Dak, who trains professional and collegiate athletes, evaluated and developed a plan to help my achieve those goals.The workouts I have been doing are completely different than anything I’ve done. We focus on technique, muscle groups I’d otherwise neglected, and movement/balance skills instead of just throwing up heavy weight and basic cardio (as I had been doing for years).Overall, I’ve learned so much from him and apply what he’s taught me every time I train. The results I see every time I hit the gym or look in the mirror are evidence of the superior training Dak and the BSP team provide. I look good, I feel good and am getting better every time I walk through the door at Blacksheep.
Best gym Ive ever been to. Patrick really helped me and educated me. I feel like he really gave me the tools I need to succeed in my fitness journey. There is a lot of space so you can run and really great machines and equipment there. I highly recommend it. It is not only geared toward athletes...people of all ages and backgrounds can go exercise there and there are a wide range of trainings and classes. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed.
I have been going to the 6 am class on Thursdays for a couple weeks now for Michelles class. We usually have the gym all to ourselves that early so we have plenty of room to spread out. The classes are really great and I get a good workout each session. The class sizes are small so Michelle can provide individual attention to each one of us. Michelle is really good about giving modifications for those who have injuries or restrictions and she adjusts the workouts for things the group wants to focus on. I am a big fan of BSP and look forward to my class each week.
No other place like Black Sheep, been there for 4 years now. I came in running without bending my knees, now Im smooth and running and moving very well I feel confident. BSP will do anything to help you get to where you want to be the energy is unmatched!! Ask anybody whos ever been there this place is an easy 5 stars!
Have watched this business absolutely SOAR over the last few years. Amazing company ran by an even better guy. Anything less than 5 stars is unacceptable. Period.
My 12 year old son was referred to Patrick and his gym BLACK SHEEP PERFORMANCE and we have not been disappointed. Started seeing results in his explosiveness, speed and change of direction as well as strength. Patrick and his staff are so knowledgeable so incredibly kind and supportive. They always make you feel welcome and appreciated for even showing up. Could not be happier with our decision to join.
Pat and his team are amazing. If I didn’t live so far away I’d work out with their many trainers & classes daily! I felt like a real athlete again when I trained in their facility. Top of the line equipment, turf, and people. I definitely recommend checking them out for any of your training & fitness needs (& for every age and physical ability!)
5th year NFL Pro that started training here last off-season with Pat and the guys. Definitely the best decision of my career. I got stronger, faster, and more flexible as I went on to have my best season yet. Come here if you want to take your training to the next level
Top notch family friendly training facility! Not your typical gym! Not only will your athlete receive the best sport specific training with individual attention but the trainers also get to know these individuals and focus on their mental and emotional well being. A true all encompassing training that will bring out the best in the athlete.
I’ve witness this team change people’s lives - physically getting them through pain, mentally encouraging them to stay committed to their goals, & helping young athletes land the attention of their dream colleges. Our city needs more passionate entrepreneurs like Patrick, Cassidy, & their team.
Danny and Patrick did an amazing job with my son Gavin. We look forward to working with them in the future. Keep up the hard work!
I had the pleasure to play with Pat in college at the University of Cincinnati. He has always been a stand-up guy that had dedicated his time to his craft. As a former NFL lineman, I would always look to Pat’s knowledge and training techniques and incorporate them into my workouts. If you’re an athlete and are serious about making it to the next level and improving your game, I suggest you get over to Black Sheep Performance.
Black Sheep Performance is truly one of a kind. The trainers are all very smart and know what they are doing. The facilities are easily the best in the city and will help you with any sport. For me, the weight training and speed work has made me more explosive and agile than ever. The best training I can get for College Football.
Appreciate the one on one attention and the availability of class times
The best facility Ive ever been able to workout in. Has all the equipment to make great athletes and even better trainers. The owner of the facility has one thing in his mind, his clients. He cares so much for his athletes and gives them all the tools necessary to become better athletes and better people.
The trainers at Blacksheep do more than just teach you how to workout, they impart true knowledge of how your body functions and what will be best for you to help you function better, not just in sports but in everyday life. Excellent energy.
Patrick is a very knowledgeable and professional trainer. He makes you feel very comfortable but also pushes you to be the best version of yourself that you can be!
Best performance training center in Ohio. Patrick & his staff are beyond knowledgeable in the health & fitness world. You won’t be disappointed.
As a former athlete and current power-lifter/bodybuilder, the trainers at black sheep are very knowledgeable and will always strive to make sure you reach your goals. Whether your an athlete trying to get better or just looking to get in shape, this is by far the best place to be. The workouts are grueling but the environment is fantastic and it’s always a fun time. If you do choose to come be ready to go 100% because the trainers expect nothing less.
As a current collegiate athlete, Black Sheep Performance more than satisfies my physical and psychological needs when it comes to my sport. Recently, BSP opened a new sprawling facility equipped with everything the modern day athlete would need in addition to being centrally located in Blue Ash. Not only is the new and improved facility fabulous, but also the staff is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely flexible to cater to your specific needs. I have been a part of BSP for about 3 years, and wouldn’t change a thing. Highly recommend for anyone in the Cincinnati area looking for premium athletic training as it relates to their sport or well being.
Took 6 weeks off the Adult training classes 3x a week. I lost 14lbs and increased strength at the same time. +20lb on bench, +20lb on squat and +35 on deadlifts. Pat is great at explaining and is meticulous in form in lifts and all drills. Helped me narrow in and see the purpose of every single movement. Highly recommend for sports training or anyone who just wants to get in better shape!
This place has energy like no other. I never had a day when I didn’t want to workout with these trainers. This training made me faster than I already was and improved my speed skills greatly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to get work in.
Without a doubt, the best decision of my life to train with Patrick Coyne at Black Sheep Performance. As a sophomore in high school I was 170 lbs and 6’2. As a senior in high school I got up to 230lbs and was 6’3. Without Patrick’s wisdom in training I would not have had the opportunity to go play football in the Big10 and I mean that 100%. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone. It changed my life.
Baseball player after baseball player have reported back with nothing but positivity regarding their results and progress. Pat and his team will take care of you no matter where you are at in your athletic journey
The best training facility in Cincinnati! Athletes of all ages and abilities can train at this gym. Field turf, free weights, sleds, ropes, squat racks etc. I feel like a real athlete when I train here & the atmosphere is one of a kind. Great spot 👍🏼
Want help with your program? Contact BSP!All my interaction with BSP staff has been positive! I enjoy the forward thinking and future direction of BSP! I highly recommend BSP!
Highly recommend black sheep performance! Facility is top notch and you won’t find training like this anywhere else. Look no further than BSP. Pat knows what it takes to be a division 1 athlete and he will help you reach the goals you set for yourself! 5/5

Sounds too good to be true ? A place where professional athletes with specific goals and little kids with big dreams - and everyone in between - can be successful ? Well, that’s precisely what this place is. An amazing family of dream makers who meet you exactly where you are at and train you beyond what you could envision for yourself.. Whatever season, whatever sport, whatever reason you walk through those doors be prepared to flow into your best physical and mental state . Joining BSP was the best decision our family made when we moved to cincy.
The trainers at Blacksheep are the most knowledgeable trainers in the area. They helped turn me into an explosive athlete. This is the perfect place to go if you want to focus on athleticism and strength. Truly will help you with any sport you play.
My son loves it here! Pat, Danny and Von are awesome people! Always get their best hands on training! You will not regret it! Been here for 3 years!
Best facility in Cincinnati for athletes who want to get stronger and faster. They offer group sessions which helps with competitiveness and teaches teamwork. The trainers really push you to be the best version of yourself everyday. I would never go anywhere else!
Top notch facility with a very informative staff. Taking the time to work with individuals on their goals, no matter how big or small. Definitely a space to improve your health!
Best training facility in the area. Real clean, professional, and knowledgeable environment. 10/10 would recommend
Amazing facility with amazing staff. If you are a athlete trying to improve this is the place to go.
As a former athlete, coming in to black sheep has been a little nostalgic for me. It’s a place where you can tell the trainers and staff care about you, while at the same time have zero problem calling you out if you are not putting in the effort. In my short time there, their staff has not only gotten me in to shape but have also rewired how I think. It would be disrespectful to say that all they do is train. They mold people into the best versions of themselves mentally, physically and emotionally. Black Sheep has become a staple in my life and Im thankful for their staff and community for supporting me and helping me reach beyond my goals.
Staff is high energy! Different workouts everyday to mix it up I love new movements and exercises. Best performance training in the city!
Beautiful facility. Knowledgable staff. Would recommend training for any any young athlete looking for that “half-step” difference.
Always an incredible training experience at BSP. Theres no better environment to grow as an athlete. Everything is done professionally and for the benefit of their athletes. Incredibly knowledgeable & dedicated management.
Best place to train in Cincinnati. Amazing culture and improved everything about my game. Incredible trainers and great for any sport.
The trainers at Black Sheep Performance have physically transformed me into a better athlete, as well as making me mentally tougher. My time working out with the Black Sheep family is the best part of my day.
Pat is passionate about what he does and there is no doubt that it is reflected in his athletes and facility. No where else i’d rather train.
Training at Black Sheep Performance has really changed me as an athlete.The trainers care about you, want you to succeed and work hard to get you where you want to be. You can tell a big difference physically and mentally after training here and I would highly recommend all athletes, no matter what sport, to train here!
I trained with BSP for two full summers. The first summer I trained with Pat we didn’t even have a full gym. Sometimes we trained in a barn sometimes we trained on a random field. I’ve never been in better shape and more prepared for my football season then I was after that summer. It was the most mentally and physically prepared for a season I had been in my life. The second summer I trained with BSP I was recovering from a foot injury. Even while recovering pat at the BSP staff were able to make sure I was staying in shape while doing rehab to help me get ready for my senior season. This is the most genuine and knowledgeable staff I have ever worked with and I will recommend athletes to BSP for many years to come.
My son has been training at BSP since the beginning of September and loves it! His speed, strength, agility and confidence continue to grow thanks to Pat and his staff.
The best in the city - hands down - from technical knowledge, professionalism, community support and an extreme passion for the success of their clients.
If you’re anywhere near the Cincinnati area, this is the gym to go to if you want to get stronger and faster. They know what they’re doing!
Best gym I’ve ever been to!!!
High energy, very knowledgeable, and is very focused on keeping my son safe.
BSP puts an emphasis on the total athlete. Its the best place in the city to get bigger, faster, and stronger. Bar none.
Love this place! Awesome staff and intense workouts. If you’re looking for results, this is the place to go.
Unbelievable facility & coaching.An Athletes dream location for off season development!
I cant say enough Good things about Patrick and his staff.
Awesome gym, great environment!
#1 training facility in Cincinnati for athletes of all ages.
There’s no where else we would want to workout!
Excellent
Best in Cincinnati
