"I am so fortunate to have found Rick and Amy Lademann. Their extensive knowledge of Pilates and strength and conditioning has helped me achieve and maintain peak performance throughout my career. Without their training programs, I wouldn't be where I am today." -Chris Sale, Pitcher for the Boston Red Sox "Today's athletes are looking for ways to develop optimal performance and longevity in their careers, and Pilates has become an important tool in that development. Pilates and Conditioning for Athletes is a must read for those looking to take their workouts into the future of athletic conditioning." -Jeff Smith, First-Base Coach for the Minnesota Twins "The hardest thing for an athlete to find in the weight room every day is the desire to train. Rick Lademann and the Beyond Motion team create a fun and seriously detailed work environment, which made me want to be there and work even harder. Rick is one of the best strength coaches in the country, which is why so many world-class athletes seek him out for their off-season training programs. Having the book Pilates and Conditioning for Athletes is just like having him as your personal coach." -Bronson Arroyo, Former MLB Pitcher, MLB All-Star "Rick Lademann has dedicated his life to coaching and developing professional athletes.
