"My girls soccer teams have used the Soccer FITT programs
for the past three years. Claudia and Jeff make working out fun.
Their instruction is age specific and they work on speed, agility,
strength, and conditioning.
The girls learn how to stretch properly, treat injuries, and
about proper nutrition for game days. I highly suggest teams or
individuals to try Soccer FITT training."

"I've known Claudia over the last 4 years. We met
because she was training some of my club players and I felt that they were
getting into much better shape than previous seasons and wanted to know what
they were doing that was different. Claudia's understanding of soccer specific
fitness and her experience in the personal training business over the last 20
years will pay dividends for any athlete working with her. I highly recommend
working with Claudia if you are serious about your training and athletic goals."
Andrea Beck
Northern Virginia Soccer Mom
"I was looking for a trainer who could
help my 14 year old daughter Mia, re-build her core muscles and overall
condition due to a stress fracture in her back. Because Mia plays soccer at an
elite level it was imperative to find someone who understands female muscle
anatomy, sport injury, athlete preparedness, and over-all experience necessary
to nurture and help strengthen Mia as a player. I phoned Tom Torres, with DC
United Academy. The first person he recommended was Claudia Helmick due to her
training techniques and familiarity of Northern Virginia girls’ soccer. At our
first meeting, Claudia came with a plan using the most current and dynamic
exercises. Her sessions have been deliberate and enjoyable while
methodically yielding positive outcomes in Mia’s overall condition each week .
Mia not
only found in Claudia an expert trainer, but also a role model and mentor.
Because she is acutely aware of the changing environment of US girls soccer as
well as soccer in northern Virginia, Mia is able to comfortably discuss with
her, the many options a young female soccer player has. Claudia successfully
readies Mia for the physical as well as mental approach to the game. Any
athlete, injured or not will definitely gain strength and incur improved
performance results after training with Claudia."

"SoccerFitt has been a big part of our success and I
highly recommend to anyone who has a kid trying to reach that higher level. BIG
BANG for your little bucks!
The
Knights have incorporated
SoccerFitt
into their training regiment for over a year now and their success speaks for
itself. Claudia Helmick & her Husband Jeff run the sessions and are very
knowledgeable about the Soccer Recruiting process. Their son currently is a NCAA
Keeper at Longwood University."
Tom Torres
Head Coach
Arlington Pride, Westfields High School, and NOVA Royals PDL
"The Arlington Pride's success on the field can clearly be attributed to
the weekly work they have done with the Helmick's. Their athleticism, pure
speed, speed with the ball, closing speed on defense and agility was much
enhanced and will help the players with their approach to the fitness
lifestyle. The Helmick's have a great system that brings out the best in
individuals, and leads to improved group play. I would strongly recommend them
to work with teams that are looking to take a step to their next level."

"Soccerfitt has worked with our team for two years. The training sessions are
conducted in a professional manner and have been part of the foundation of our
team's success. The trainers relate very well with the boys and provide a
variety of fitness drills to keep them engaged. The extra personal concern
and advise the trainers offer each player expands their ability to achieve
better fitness. It is the unanimous opinion of our players, coaches and
parents that our time spent with Soccerfitt, is time well spent. We look
forward to continuing our association with Soccerfitt and its valuable
training experience."

"I've known Claudia Helmick since 2005. Her son played for me at W.T. Woodson High School. Joel always started the season in better shape than most of the players.Any player working with Claudia will have an advantage over others, if for no other reason they will be better conditioned. I would recommend Soccer Fitt for any individual or group looking to improve their game."

Testimonial
"Hi, Matt
I just wanted to say that today I stayed and watched most of the Soccer
Fitt work-out (at Kenny's request) and I have to thank you --- that's the
neatest and most organized outfit I've seen. It is so well worth the money.
I hope that the organization feels they were compensated well and want to come
back again. GREAT stuff!!"

"They were doing this stuff [Soccer Fitt training] in Ghana when I was with the Ghana National Team; it's about time someone starting doing it in the US."

"I've had Claudia work with my teams in the past. She always does a great job, she explains things well, She can also talk to the kids about injuries, nutrition, etc."
Richard Broad President, American Soccer Programs
"When Claudia Helmick's son, Joel, played soccer for me at Woodson High School, he was one of our fittest, hardest-working athletes. It's obvious where his commitment and dedication comes from. Claudia Helmick is passionate about what she does. Her personal training sessions utilize a variety of exercises which challenge and motivate those under her direction. She demands the best from the athletes and helps them build a solid fitness base for their sport. I enthusiastically endorse her program."
