Athletes

Since training with Corey Ford in Concord, New Hampshire, my son has made incredible progress. He worked with Corey in the offseason and continues to follow his online programming during the season. The difference has been huge. He’s faster, stronger, and more explosive on the football field than ever before. Corey’s training has helped him build real confidence and perform at a higher level every game.

My son has been training with Corey Ford since he first started running the Athlete Training Program at Anchor Athletics & Strength, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions we’ve made for him. I met Corey a few years before through powerlifting, and from that very first interaction, I knew he was the real deal — knowledgeable, kind, down-to-earth, and genuinely passionate about strength and fitness.

When I heard that Corey was running the youth Athlete Strength and Training Program, I was thrilled. I knew my son would be in excellent hands. Corey’s approach to training young athletes is safe, structured, and incredibly effective. He focuses on proper form, injury prevention, and long-term athletic development instead of ego lifting or quick gains. The athletes learn to lift with control and purpose, mastering technique before adding weight — something every parent appreciates.

What really sets Corey apart is his mentorship. He connects with the kids beyond the gym floor — they talk about everything from sports and nutrition to school and friendships. Corey uses those moments to teach lessons about accountability, discipline, and self-respect. He checks in on what they’ve eaten, reminds them to stay hydrated, and explains why nutrition, protein intake, and recovery matter just as much as what happens in the gym.

At Anchor Athletics & Strength, where the program is based, many people associate the gym with powerlifting — but Corey’s Athlete Training Program adds a whole new dimension. It’s about building strong, confident, and resilient athletes who can perform better in any sport while reducing their risk of injury.

If you’re a parent looking for a safe, professional, and positive training environment for your child, I can’t recommend Corey Ford and the Athlete Training Program enough. Corey truly cares about every athlete who walks through those doors, and it shows — not just in their performance, but in their confidence and character, too.
