Level Up allowed me to be prepared for the heavy demand of college sports. Division 1 college football is a very fast and physical sport, and without my previous training at Level Up, I wouldn’t have been ready for it. Level Up taught me how to build strength while also maintaining mobility to give myself the best chance at being successful.

I started training at Level Up when I was in middle school, and I believe it has instilled in me great habits that I will carry with me throughout my life after my collegiate career. While many people may think lifting weights is the main thing you can gain from a gym, there are many other things that I have learned from training at Level Up. A few examples are how to eat properly, getting the right amount of sleep, and what it means to be ‘healthy’.

I played football at the University of Wisconsin from 2018-2022. My experience with college sports was amazing because of I was able to be a part of a great football program and University. Level Up helped me be ready for what was to come when I came to Wisconsin in the summer of 2018. I was in great shape and was physically ready for the demand of college football.

Throughout my career at Wisconsin, I delt with many injuries. Going through these injuries was very challenging, but Level Up was always a place I could go to for help. Mike Wendorf and Zach Moore were always eager to help me get back on the field and to get healthy. Mike and I even went to Austin, Texas to purchase the Neubie to help me with my many shoulder injuries.

I truly believe I wouldn’t be the athlete or the person I am today without Level Up, and I look forward to continuing my strong relationship with the gym.

All the hours at Level Up not only made me a better athlete, but a better student. The 5:00am mornings taught me about discipline. This transitioned right into my school day; yeah I didn’t want to be there, but there was work to be done so I did it. Being able to develop this mindset at an early age created a habit that was easy to bring with to college. I watched my friends struggle with the adjustment to college courses, and I did too. But it was what happened after that first bad grade that mattered most. A lot of my friends didn’t have practice coming back from setbacks, but I had seen it many times before. Not making a team, injuries, and becoming weaker in the weight room. I became comfortable using my setbacks as motivation, and I think that is the most important skill that a person can develop.

I began training at Level Up when I was in middle school. Like most pre-teens I was extremely insecure, I found that weightlifting grew my confidence and I quickly became obsessed. After a few months in the weight room I noticed a transition to the soccer field; all of a sudden I was beating opponents easily in foot-races and I wasn’t getting pushed over. I considered myself a technical player, but when getting recruited for clubs and college teams they looked at speed and strength over anything else. They always stressed that the technique of the game can come later, but you won’t be able to get there if you can’t keep up with the speed of play. One of the first interactions I had with my college coach was “you’re not very big, but you seem to be pretty fast.” With that, I tallied up 350 minutes my freshman year specializing in fast opponents.

Cambelle is currently majoring in Chemical Engineering and Minoring in German at UMD.

As I moved from high school athletics to college athletics, and now as a professional, strength training, proper recovery techniques, and overall fitness has become more and more important in my life. Luckily, from the very beginning of my journey, even before my first Varsity game, I had Level Up to guide me.

The coaches I've gotten to know over the years, especially Mike, Zac, and Josh have always steered me in the right direction when it came to building muscle and getting my body where it need to be. The facilities are top-notch and the personable environment provides a gym that both welcomes and challenges you to be the best athlete and even person you can possibly be.

Level Up developed my speed, vertical, and overall strength for high school sports. Training with Level Up is what I give most of the credit for my success. I made 6 state runs, won once, and was runner-up three times. With two out of the three sports I played being contact sports, it was crucial for me to train, and Level Up did a great job assisting me to do so. Level Up also developed my dedication and tenacity. Being pushed every time I entered the gym, it forced me to work for my success. Now I am on the A team for the University of Wisconsin Madison's club volleyball team, no longer lifting with Level Up. However, I am able to use the training techniques, and advice about clean eating to stay healthy while being a freshman in college. The skills that Level Up taught and instilled in me will be ones that I use for the rest of my life.
