We find a way to get to Parisi, even with a VERY full soccer schedule, because simply put….it's a game changer. We drive over 40 minutes to this specific location because the coaches (and athletes that attend classes) make it worth the drive.  I have had more than a handful of parents of teammates ask me where Chris trains to be so fast. It’s so easy to recommend Parisi (for all of the reasons above). Many of my son’s teammates have tried a class and all of them felt that same magic. Most of them now regularly come to train as well. I always tell parents "I would be totally shocked if your son takes a class and doesn’t absolutely love it".
