My teenage boys have been training here for a little over a month. Already I have noticed a chance in their physical strength and endurance. More importantly the change in their self confidence and the way they cary themselves has been what I appreciate most. I look forward to their journey at Viking.

Jerry and team are great, and the gym is an excellent atmosphere for training whether you're a student athlete looking for sports performance training or just an adult looking to get/stay in shape. Well stocked with equipment for powerlifting, strongman, Olympic weightlifting, and more. Highly recommend checking this gym out if you're looking for a good non-corporate gym to train in.

Great place to work out whether you're a competitive athlete or just trying to get in shape. Age ranges from kids to seniors. Very encouraging trainers who know their stuff. I’m not a gym person but I’ve been going here for almost two years now.

VPT is awesome! Jerry has been in the game a long time and knows his stuff. Programs my workouts according to what my goals are. The gym is awesome, with a lot of equipment that you aren’t going to find in most places.

I interact with Jordan the most because I’m there in the morning, but all of the coaches have been awesome.

The coaches are so friendly and encouraging. They are very knowledgeable and have helped me correct my lifting form so much since being here :)

I have been to many gyms throughout the different stages of my life. Up until recently, going to the gym was just a means to an end. At Viking Performance, however, I actually love to be at the gym. Lifting is no longer an activity I am just doing short term. I truly feel at home at this gym and able to be my authentic self. Now I bring my family and encourage others to come because of how much happier and healthier I feel. At Viking Performance gym, it's about strength, health, and connection. Recommend highly!

Viking has helped me so much over the years not only with injury prevention and strength training but also with confidence. The trainers are all amazing and help personalize all your workouts specifically for your needs. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am in my career today without them!

Our daughter Carley tore her ACL during travel volleyball practice last February. She had a quad graph surgery a month later to replace her ACL. Following surgery, she started an intense PT plan for 5 months to regain full range of motion in her left leg. After PT it was time for a more advanced strength / rehabilitation plan to strengthen her quad and overall body from inactivity. Our Physical Therapist, Colony Hopkins, recommended Jerry Handley of Viking Performance Training so Carley could continue her progression in strength training and conditioning. It’s been the BEST decision!! Jerry and his staff have been wonderful! We selected 1 on 1 personal training for Carley. The upfront evaluation, weekly personalized workouts and 1 on 1 monitoring during all sessions have allowed Carley to increase her strength, mobility and over confidence in “getting back out there” and on the field!! Although the sessions are challenging, Carley enjoys the feeling of accomplishment and progress she is making in going each week. And for us as parents, it has eased our minds knowing that she is getting such professional and knowledgeable attention. We highly recommend Viking and are so thankful for this great experience when navigating this type of injury. Thank you Jerry!

I came in to Viking looking to become stronger, faster, and more explosive for my sport after coming off of an injury. With the help of Jerry, i exceeded expectations for myself. He designed lifts to where i would be safe with my shoulder but still be able to push myself to build my shoulder back up. With the designed lifts for my sport, i can already feel more prepared to compete. Viking is the #1 place to be to train in Morgantown !

Jordan, Zeke, and Paul are the best coaches I’ve had in my life. They made my experience with Viking more enjoyable. They aren’t just trainers, they’re my friends and family they’re wonderful people as well. The atmosphere of Viking is very special and it improved not only my physical health, but made me a better person mentally and emotionally.

Our football program is in our 2nd full off-season of using Viking Performance Training for our off-season training program. The growth our student athletes showed in one year was phenomenal! Our opponents took notice as well. I am excited to see the continued physical and mental milestones our team reaches as we continue with our partnership with VPT!

Josalyn's results so far speak for themselves. Everyone at Viking has done a great job working with Josalyn and her busy schedule. When a kid is getting put thru the ringer during her workouts and still says her fav part is the people. Viking is doing all the right things!

We have been with Viking performance training for 4 years now and I have two teenage boys training there. I have only good things to say about the trainers and the atmosphere of positivity that Jerry Handley creates for the young men and women there. The Programs are individualized and I have seen my boys literally grow from strength to strength. Thank you Viking Performance training!!

I cannot say enough good things about Viking, Jerry, and the staff. Not only do they offer the best strength training in the business but they're MORE than strength trainers. They actually care about your child's wellbeing as a whole. From mental aspect to physical strength and performance, Jerry, Calvin, and the entire Viking staff have helped my daughter excel at her sports. She endured an injury before her first high school track season and if not for the Viking staff, would never have been able to come back and win a state championship in the 4x800 relay. They help her with everything from nutrition to recovery. There is nothing they won't do for her to make sure she fulfills her goal of running in college. Send your kid to Viking. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Viking Performance came highly recommended to us. Jerry and his crew still managed to go beyond our expectations. My son seemed to have hit a wall with his usual training and just the general craziness due to the COVID pandemic. He has been going to Viking for just over a month now and there has already been a huge change in his confidence and attitude. He looks forward to going to do his workout and to interact with his coaches. The staff personalizes the workout for every individual's needs, and learns how to best motivate each of them. Thanks VTP for what you do, your crew is so greatly appreciated!

Viking Training is more than just getting the most strength and performance out of their athletes-they form genuine relationships with their clients. I have seen first hand as a coach how they impact their clients lives in a positive way.

My daughter trained at Viking with Jerry and Calvin over the past 2 years. She is a high school runner. As a parent, I can't say enough about how well they treated her! Jerry and Calvin were so enthusiastic and positive during her workouts. She loved the atmosphere of the gym and everyone in there! She learned proper lifting form and technique and had fun while training hard. We are glad she had this experience! Thanks so much to the staff at Viking for everything!

Viking is awesome and we highly recommend them! They created a custom program to help our daughter recover and reach her goals after a college soccer injury. They have continued to support her in season by following her progress and keeping in touch with her. It’s been a great experience and we look forward to her getting back in the gym in the off season!

I’ve been coming to Viking since summer of 2016. My whole family from my husband to my three daughters who cheer have in some capacity trained by the awesome staff. The piece of mind that I gain from morning workouts fuels me for the rest of my day. Calvin makes sure that I never slack off and I that I am constantly pushing myself to lift weights and do exercises that I never imagined I could do. Not only does he make me work hard but he makes sure it’s fun while doing it. The atmosphere that they create is second to none because they genuinely want to see every person that comes in achieve their goal.
