Take a look at what Jeremy has said about the experience he had at Ignition.
"Ignition has helped me take my game to the next level in just six weeks of training. In that short time I have noticed improvement in my power and explosive strength. I shaved 5 tenths off of my sixty time. (7.3 to a 6.8) I couldn’t have worked with a better coaching staff than I did at Ignition.
