Really nicely set up, great quality experience for youth sports and fitness. Nice lounge for parents to relax and wait and watch. Thanks for this service!
Sherman and his team at The Lab and NLU are some of the best coaches and trainers I have ever met. They are by far the best sports and training programs I have ever had the privilege to be part of. When my son first started he would hardly dribble he was so timid plus he could not see the value in training. A year of training and playing at The Lab has turned him into a confident, stelar athlete who loves to work out. The turn around is astonishing and exciting. If you want your child to learn how to love physical fitness, send them to The Lab. If you want your child to learn top notch basketball skills from amazing coaches, send them to The Lab. For me personally, the trainings I have taken lifted me out of my fitness rut. I havent felt this strong in years! The experiences are priceless.
Absolutely love it here. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable. They are encouraging and help you to achieve your goals.If you need motivation or just a routine built by someone who’s knows what they’re doing, then I highly recommend talking to Sherm and Trish and getting in to check it out.
My kids have thrived under the instruction of everyone at The Lab. Ive also seen quite a few kids take leaps and bounds in terms of domination in the tournament scene after being at The Lab for a year or more. They know their stuff and the kids love it! Highly recommend this place to not only keep up with peers, but surpass them with the hard work and correct skillsets that The Lab provides.
Amazing place with amazing people!I would definitely recommend for adults and looks fun for kids too!! Sherman is so passionate, Shani is so helpful and encouraging and most of all Loren is a great teacher/trainer and he is so patient with me!!
If you want to ensure you get the best training possible in a great safe, welcoming environment this is the place. Im certain you will not be disappointed.
Great place to play ball, develope youth athletes and adults. Love the passion from Sherman and his crew!
Sherman and his team are phenomenal. Not only do they give you the confidence, the ability and the flexibility of working out with quality interaction from the trainers, they listen to your every concern, input and request. Their hour workouts are for the whole family, and help you reach your goals. The price is worth every minute of being a part of their training facility. I recommend them to anyone, from a beginners workout level to the gym junkie. Ive never committed to any kind of facility or gym, but the Lab is permanent part of my life. You will love every second of it. There are various options of times, days, amount of workouts a week or month, the kind of workout, nutrition, and mental and emotional training as well.
5 stars!!! We have been with the LAB for all 2 years and it has become a second family. I would and do recommend the LAB to everyone I talk to. The program is much more the just an elite basketball program that is designed to help any level player grow and reach their individual goals. It teaches sportsmanship, teamwork, accountability and leadership. Overall the LAB stands by its name “Life And Basketball” and helps make great basketball players as well as great role models for our community. All of the trainers involved with basketball, Next Level the strength and agility side are in a simple word “Amazing!” I can say that the overall program has changed our whole family’s lives and again I would recommend to anyone who is slightly interested to give it a try, you won’t be sorry.
Our son has been training with The Lab basketball program for almost two years. He has grown so much as an athlete, a basketball player, and as a person! The coaches are passionate about the kids and about the sport of basketball; it shows in the way they coach and build great relationships with each athlete, meeting them at their level and building up their individual and team skills alike. Kids can train just to build skills or to play on one of the many levels/ages of teams. The option to train for speed, strength and agility through their other program, Next Level University, has also been one we have all loved as a family! Excellent training and coaching for fitness for all ages and levels.
Do NOT sign up without saying immediately for them to cancel their auto subscription that they do not fully mention to you. Sherm reached out to me via email for me to sign my boys up and therefore their policy was not made clear. I gave 21 days notice and he said he would refund me for the next month for the boys. This was back in late January. I still hadnt received my refund so I inquired and he said It just hadnt been done yet and he would put the refund through. Also seems rather suspicious. He only issued a refund for one of my kids not the other so I emailed again he said basically You were lucky I gave you one refund and didnt have to so thats all you are getting. So he goes back on his word, he stole from his customers and didnt provide a service. I would have brought my son back for classes had I known he wasnt going to issue a refund but was just going by what he told me. Very shady and dishonest business practices and he refuses to do the right thing. I have the emails to prove all of this as valid and he is choosing to ruin a relationship with customers over 100.00. Shame on the Lab for not having integrity and being honest with their customers.
We love the Lab basketball training! My 13-year-old son has been attending for the past couple years and his game has greatly improved. The coaches really push the boys to work on the essential skills that they prefer not to work on at home. Everyone wants to shoot the 3s, but youve got to be able to make a layup and free throw first!! I greatly appreciate the fundamentals my son gets at the Lab. Not to mention, he doesnt argue with their coaches like he does with me at home! Its a win-win!
I love this place and the trainers are amazing! I am so grateful and this has been a life changing journey that I am so thankful to be on! Every trainer is so encouraging and so knowledgeable ❤️.
My two children have been going to The Lab since March. They both love it. They have great coaches at the Lab. I feel they are learning and getting stronger each time. I feel they are professional. We even have a 30-40 minute travel time but feel it’s all worth it. No regrets!!!
Love this place, they work very hard and the trainers are awesome! I highly recommend them to anybody looking to put their kids in basketball training and more.
The Lab has been a truly amazing experience for my son. Wonderful coaches that know how to pinpoint what kids need to work on and develop to take their basketball skills to the Next level and be competitive outside of the Rogue Valley. My son has played for a couple years now. The basketball trainings are flexible with times to fit our home schedule during the week. The progress and level he has elevated to in his game has come leaps and bounds. Love all the options The Lab offer from basketball, team travel, strength training and HIIT training and so much more which is available to our whole family to take part of. So many amazing healthy and positives within The Lab. Sherman has it right with the coaching and mentoring he’s giving to these kids. He’s is doing great positive things within our community with these kids and the coaching/training team surrounding him I give them an A+ all around.
My son has been training at the Lab for basketball for a couple years now. Hes gained confidence and improved his overall game. Jordan, one of the trainers is very patient and works well with kids. There truly is not one trainer there that doesnt help push and improve you to be your best self. Weve utilized the Next Level program as well there and the workouts really push you to burn the most calories you can in the hour session. I would highly recommend the program offerings. Its not just about basketball but its a family!
Sherm and his crew are AMAZING. They have completely changed my life. They provide a personalized experience for each of their clients and push you to become a better version of yourself. Everyone, all shapes, sizes and fitness levels will feel included and feel so welcomed. 10/10 would recommend.
I cannot say enough about the LAB. I have two kids 11 and 14 that attend and they love every day they get to attend. The staff and owners do a good job of connecting with the kids and assessing their needs.Within the first week Sherman and his coaches quick assessed my daughter with the areas she needed to work on. They were spot on and she is developing some core fundamentals that will stick with her for life.Lastly, my intention was just to have the kids do hoops. After Sherman assessed my Daughter and recommended she participate in the Next Level and Weights, I signed her up for a test run. Now both are her new favorite things and she brags so much about it that my son is now involved with the Next Level Fitness. I think they enjoy it just as much or more than hoops, which is their first passion. Again, the coaches on the fitness side are the key to the success.With that said, great program with great intangibles while working with young people. Kudos Sherman, Jordan, Scoop and Shawn you are all making a big impact on your athletes.
We have been a part of The Lab family for a while now. Started out as basketball lessons for my daughter then my son started training as well. From the very beginning it has been a very positive experience the coaching and training my kids have received has been amazing and has helped them both grow as athletes on and off the court. I was happy when he started The NLU training and it was open to adults as well as athletes the same amazing, positive experiences.You will get results. You just have to be ready to work the staff will be there to push and support you along the way to help reach your. Goals!
Where do I start!!! My daughter needed help with her speed. She was slow, and had zero form. We’ve put her in speed camps before, but never really worked on actual technique. She is 9, and is shy. Day 1 walked in the door and was greeted by Shani, and shown around. We instantly felt welcomed!! Berlynn learned so much from Coach Joseph on Day 1 my husband and I could not believe it. Her soccer coach commented that she could tell a difference!! He is brilliant, professional, and is such a fabulous communicator with the kids!! Berlynn has never felt embarrassed, left out, or out of place. Three weeks in and she feels confident!!! She’s faster!!! This is the place for your kiddo!! I highly recommend
My kids basic skills, especially ball-handling and cutting, have improved significantly since joining the program. I also appreciate that the coaches, including the program founder Coach Sherman, have been available in person, by phone, and by text to encourage my kid with items like goal setting, belief in self, and the mental side of the game.
Sherman and his staff are fantastic coaches who are great and finding the balance between respecting my unique differences in body and mind and pushing me to be a better version of myself.On the exercise side, we train hard and it feels great when I am done. On the food side, he works directly with me to find the right plan for improving my health.I highly recommend Sherman and The Lab for improving your personal health.
The Lab is a great place for your kids to learn the skills of basketball and how to be a good citizen. The staff is caring and pushes the kids in ways that allow them to be their best self. My son has benefitted greatly from the basketball training as well as gained a ton of self confidence from the speed and agility classes. If you want your kids to grow in a demanding and caring environment. The Lab is the premier place for sports training in Southern Oregon.
Watching my kids get better at basketball has been wonderful. Seeing the physical improvement of my body at 50 has been a rush. Sherman has the best trainers Ive met and they love what they do and are willing to push us while making sure that our injuries (if any) are considered while helping us grind to the next level. No matter what age group youre in, this is the right place to train.
Great place for athletic training. Staff is amazing and the kids love it!!
Love it here, great place to play some ball and developed skills
I can’t say enough about Sherm and his team! The individualized approach for each unique person is unmatched! I’m seeing my teenage son turn into a physical specimen with a focus on gaining muscle, strength, speed, endurance, proper nutrition, and mental focus.
My son has been a part of this program going on 2 years. He has grown tremendously as a basketball player both in skills and character development. The amazing coaches are teaching these kids skills both on and off the courts. We feel so blessed to be a part of The Lab community.
We love The Lab! If you have an athlete that wants to put in the work towards becoming their best, The Lab is the place to be. The coaches are amazing and are dedicated to encouraging athletes to reach their potential.
The LAB is more than just a training facility, you work with people who care and have a vested interest in anyone that they come into contact with, even beyond the sports or physical level. I would highly recommend Sherm and staff 😀
When it comes to being passionate about The Kids in our Community; The LAB is the best I have seen!!! The unique blend of advanced training techniques; player development, and the Love that each player receives in this program; has made an absolute difference in young athletes and puts them Head and Shoulders above any other program in the Valley. I have never seen youth teams with such sound fundamentals and a competitive spirit/Love for the game; that enables them to, quite frankly, DOMINATE THEIR OPPONENTS!!! Winning isnt everything to the LAB as they make sure the kids have a good balance of Life lesson skills; to take with them; well past when the game is done. If you are looking for a Youth Program that will cultivate and grow your young athlete and is a proven winner...The LAB is the winning Ticket!!!
Sherman and his staff are awesome. They do a great job of teaching kids basketball skills no matter what skill level the kids are at.
Excellent training at a high leve with instructors who really know what they’re doing! Very professional people & so easy to work with!
The Lab has provided an incredible community for my two kids and myself. My youngest son started doing their basketball program about a year ago. The coaches and trainers there helped to not only immensely improve his skill level but gave him confidence and believed in a not so tall kiddo that other coaches seemed to easily dismiss. Soon after starting basketball, myself and my older son enrolled in their workout classes. Speed and agility, strength training, HIIT workouts they do it all and do it well. Every single trainer and coach at The Lab is amazing. They encourage you and can modify for every fitness level. Another reason we love Tha Lab is that they know how to work with people recovering from injuries. My son has had his fair share of injuries and surgeries do to competive sports and Sherman knows how to work within the doctors orders to make sure you can workout safely without jeopardize your recovering. And last but not least during the Covid shutdown The Lab has done everything in their power to provide a safe place for people to be active. I cant imagine what my kids would have done without Sherman and The Lab during this pandemic. They even went so far as to provide daily facebook live videos that the basketball players could follow along with and weekly zoom meetings with coaches during phase 1. They care about not only being a great gym but being a place that is bettering their community.
My son has been involved with The Lab as a high school player- his only regret is that he hadn’t started earlier. I appreciate the incredible coaching staff- they really hone in on what needs to be developed and communicate clearly and effectively to get the most out of each player-
The lab has absolutely changed my daughters basketball world. I could not be more grateful to Sherman Cody Kyle and Jordan. They are the best!!
