Maxwell Woods

Running back, South Dakota State

With state-of-the-art equipment, including incline running treadmills and skating treadmills, it emphasizes plyometric workouts, agility drills, and strength conditioning. Completion of 18-24 workouts yields significant improvements in vertical jump, broad jump, and agility, along with a 50% reduction in recovery time during play.

Our speed programs use state-of-the-art equipment that our competitors do not have, making Acceleration a one-of-a-kind training facility. Our dedicated staff prioritizes teaching athletes not just the “what to do” but also the “how and why,” ensuring a comprehensive understanding rather than mere instruction.”

Maxwell, already fast, became even quicker at Acceleration

Acceleration Client Testimonials

“Focusing on strength and speed at acceleration has allowed me to have more endurance, and be stronger and quicker on my feet on the ice”

WES BERG – BSM Hockey

“As much as I hate running, I can tell a huge difference in my speed in games! The treadmill training at Acceleration and the C2 bands has helped my speed so much”

EVA BERG – Lacrosse Monkey

“Running is such an import part of being a Lacrosse athlete. Most people don’t realize the importance of good strides and running form. Curt has taught me not only how to run better mechanically but also engage the right muscles to become faster. I used to have nagging pains while running but now that my form is correct, not only am I faster but pain free. The training is challenging but I know it really works!”

LAUREN DEERING – Hill Murray lacrosse / Lacrosse Monkey

“The innovative C2 band system and treadmill workouts Curt has designed have benefited my kids with increased speed, endurance, pliability, and functional strength. It’s been so fun to watch their performance improve and see how much confidence they have gained from these workouts.”

REGGIE BERG

“It’s  insane how intense of a workout I get when I use the treadmills and bands. My heart rate gets the highest when using the bands compared to anything else. Acceleration has allowed me to have much better endurance, form, and has helped my agility”


ELLA BERG – University of  Louisville girls lacrosse 

“After working the last few years with aspiring Division 1 lacrosse athletes I continue to notice the same thing. The one thing that sets apart elite athletes is speed and quickness. If you want to be noticed during a tryout or recruited by a college you have to set your self apart from the rest. Anyone can look good but you cannot fake speed and quickness. It’s earned and any good coach knows that. In my opinion, Acceleraion is the best way to improve this. Curt has a proven system that has worked for decades. Ive seen it first hand in every athlete that has trained there, they have become faster on the field.”

BRETT DEERING
-LAX monkey coach

“After having major knee surgery from a torn ACL and Meniscus I struggled to get back up to speed. My strength came back with rehab but my speed and quickness was lacking from a year of physical therapy. I tried other programs but wasn’t getting the results I needed. As an aspiring division 1 athlete, I needed a program that I could trust. I needed it to work fairly quickly because I was in the midst of being recruited and was attending prospect camps. After a few weeks in Curts program I knew it was what I needed. I never had a running coach so I didn’t have the best running mechanics. Plus, I wasn’t using my muscles efficiently to produce force. After training at Acceleration not only am I much faster on the field but more confident. I firmly believe in Curt’s proven system to make you faster.”
