Testimonials
"Alwyn
Cosgrove is one of the smartest individuals I personally know. His educational
background and his training experience is overshadowed only by his ability to
get his message across to anyone who listens to him speak. Alwyn is HANDS DOWN,
the most dynamic and entertaining fitness speaker today. Having had the
opportunity to work with Alwyn on several speaking engagements and other
projects, I have to say that I have learned more from him than any other person
in my career. I have said this before that Alwyn Cosgrove is the only individual
who is accepted by ALL the strength and conditioning factions out there. He is
equally sought after by the NSCA, the Perform Better clinic crowd, the Men’s
Health and Men’s Fitness readers, and the hundreds of internet training
communities out there. There’s a reason for this….he truly knows his stuff.
It’s hard to find anybody who doesn’t enjoy reading his articles or hearing him
speak. If you haven’t had the chance to hear Alwyn speak you need to check out
his speaking schedule and go see him!"

"Long
before ever seeing him in action, I was convinced that Alwyn Cosgrove
was the greatest trainer in the world. His unique theories on
performance-enhancement, along with his clients' outstanding results,
confirm Alwyn's immense talent, knowledge, originality, and passion for
training. But it's Alwyn's keen perception-his innate ability to spot
and dismantle flaws in both programs and theories, and immediately know
how to repair them-that makes him a coach, and a man, who is so in
demand the world over. If Alwyn can help me (a journalist with no
previous background in the exercises sciences) to understand the most
complex training ideas-via e-mail and his articles-imagine what he can
do for you, live! Recently, I had the privilege of hearing Alwyn speak,
and the confidence and humor that he exudes in his writing was
magnified tenfold. His presentation was more like a performance! He
loves to debate and answer questions (probably since he can't be
stumped), and easily stole the show that day. Alwyn is the best
ambassador the fitness industry could ask for"

Alwyn
Cosgrove not only "gets it" but he can teach it. This is the real key.
A guy with brains, a sense of humor and a natural ability to relate to
an audience. You'll love him."
Mike Boyle
Elite Strength coach
"At my last live event, I had some
of the best speakers in the fitness industry, but Alwyn Cosgrove stole
the show! His in-depth knowledge, his sense of humor, his timing, and
his warmth won over the crowd instantly. I'd highly recommend Alwyn
speak at ANY event as I know he'll deliver the goods - guaranteed! In
fact, I want Alwyn to be a featured speaker at every one of my events -
he's that good."
Ryan Lee
Fitness Entrepreneur
"I have been in the strength and conditioning industry most of my life and have attended hundreds of seminars. I have also given
hundreds of seminars and the one thing I see time and time again is a
lack of connection with the audience. After seeing Alwyn speak at
the T-nation seminar I have to admit I was blown away. It was
refreshing to see someone in the fitness industry really make the
connection with the audience. Alwyn’s presentation style was very
professional and humorous. When I wasn't laughing I was thinking about
the points being made. In only one hour I walked away with a few more
training ideas I can apply right away. I highly recommend everyone to
take part in one of Alwyn's seminars. In many cases seminars are
a waste of money. With Alwyn it is an investment."
Dave Tate

“It's simple really. If you've never seen Alwyn
Cosgrove at one of his speaking engagements you simply don't know what
you are missing.
Do whatever you have to do to be in the
audience the next time he is presenting. You'll learn the no BS truth
about fitness and laugh your butt off the entire time.
Bottom line: If there's a more engaging speaker in the fitness industry I sure as heck don't know who it is.”
Jim Labadie
“Simply
stated, Alwyn Cosgrove is THE best speaker and educator in the fitness
industry today. He knows more than you. That may sound
gruff, but it's a fact. I have never been more interested in a
fitness seminar than I was during Alwyn's lecture on Program
Design. His depth of knowledge is mesmerizing and his comedic and
whimsical method of presentation is nothing short of
entertaining. He is a credit to our industry and someone we
should all strive to be like.
You
typically only hear this about big screen movies, but it certainly
applies to an Alwyn Cosgrove seminar - it is a 'must see'.”
Brian Grasso
Director – International Youth Conditioning Association
"Alwyn Cosgrove is, without
question, one of the best speakers in the entire fitness industry
today. He has an unsurpassed level of knowledge and experience and
delivers no nonsense, highly informative presentations. Always
entertaining and far from dull, Alwyn is incredibly well spoken with
the delivery and timing of a stand up comic. If you have yet to attend
an Alwyn Cosgrove seminar you are doing yourself a huge disservice.
Find out when he is speaking in your area and book yourself a seat
today."

“Alwyn tells you what you need to know, simple as that. His no nonsense,
tell it how it is approach allows you to walk away from one of his
sessions with real life examples of training techniques that you can
start to use in your next training session. Perhaps the best speaker in the field”
Nick Grantham
Strength and Conditioning Coach
English Institute of Sport
"When Alwyn Cosgrove speaks, people listen. Mouths may drop open. Water bottles may be dropped. I've attended hundreds of seminars and have listened to thousands of speakers. Cosgrove is one of the best on the scene. The information is useful and practical yet cutting edge, informative yet entertaining. If you see his name on the speaker list, sign up to attend. Hold on tight to your water bottle."

"Your
presentation at Ryan Lee's boot camp rocked the house! I know it was
early in the morning, and being the first presenter at 9 am sounded
rough at first, but the night before you presented, everyone was
talking about how they couldn't wait to hear your presentation. After
seeing you speak and over deliver during your presentation, everyone
was pumped up big time. Thanks for delivering an ass kicking
presentation that was like no other!"

"Alwyn
Cosgrove is that rare expert who is not only extremely engaging and
interesting to listen to, but can back up his often controversial
comments with the winning results that keep his clients coming back for
more. Not only a top-level conditioning coach, Alwyn is one of the very
best presenters in the world!"
-Steve Cotter, champion martial artist and author of the acclaimed Full
KOntact Kettlebells DVD series
"It is rare that a speaker has the ability to gain 100% attention from his audience, but at a recent seminar Alwyn Cosgrove did just that. His knowledge, personality, and well timed humor captivated the entire audience. He had the audience wanting more. I found myself NOT wanting Alwyn's presentation to end."
Lee Taft
Speed, Acceleration and Agility Coach
"This
is the bottom line; I have been to a lot of seminars and presentations.
Not one was as entertaining or as informative as Alwyn's. Not
only does Alwyn deliver tons of content, but he does so in a manner
that relaxes the audience and allows them to absorb the info much
easier. Seriously, if you have the opportunity to see Alwyn
speak do so. You'll be glad you did."
Jason C. Brown

“I
have been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 25
years. As a scientist, lecturer, practitioner, author, university
professor, entrepreneur, athlete and student of health information I
have been fortunate enough to interact with some of the brightest minds
and some of the most physically gifted people on the planet. With
countless
self-proclaimed
'gurus' dispensing mythical information as gospel it's great to see a
bright, innovative mind sharing his hard work in a fresh, logical,
non-abrasive style. The superstar I refer to is Alwyn Cosgrove. I
have had the opportunity to lecture with Alwyn and was so impressed his
knowledge and insight that I asked him to write up my next exercise
program. When I am looking for someone to bounce ideas off of, share
new research information, I consider Alwyn to be on my "short" list. If
your looking for an
entertaining
presenter that can educate your audience, keep them laughing, and raise
the over quality of your conference, then Alwyn should be on your must
call list.”

"Alwyn
Cosgrove is one of the most entertaining and educational presenters

benefit from listening to Alwyn speak, even if only for a moment. I
never miss an Alwyn Cosgrove presentation!"

“Alwyn
Cosgrove is the truth-speaker. He doesn’t care who gets offended,
he will speak his mind. Not only will he tell you how he feels, but
more importantly he backs it up.
Alwyn is extremely entertaining, informative and knows the ins & outs
of
strength and conditioning like no other. I just wish there were more
fitness experts like Alwyn who would ‘tell it like it is’!”
