At SOAR, training isn’t just about performance—it’s about progress, mindset, and the commitment to becoming one percent better every day. Athletes of all ages and abilities find a space where discipline meets encouragement, and where every rep, sprint, or swing is a step toward long-term growth. For years, SOAR has guided competitors through every stage of their athletic journey—developing strength, confidence, and resilience that extend far beyond the gym walls.
Among those athletes are Emmarie Miles, Ryder Tymkowych, and Lexa Jackson—three individuals who represent different sports, goals, and stages of competition, yet share the same foundation of drive and consistency. Whether it’s the precision of a golf swing, the burst off the football line, or the endurance demanded in the pool, each has discovered that SOAR’s training philosophy is about far more than physical skill. It’s about believing in yourself, trusting the process, and finding joy in the work it takes to reach your next level.
Emmarie Miles | Women’s Golf
Five years of training at SOAR have shaped Emmarie into more than just a stronger golfer—they’ve built her confidence, consistency, and love for the process. Every workout is personal, a chance to prove to herself that the work she’s putting in is making a difference. “I always want to show Keith and Kyle that I’m working hard and getting better,” she says. That motivation has paid off: her proudest moment came when her swing speed jumped from 95 to 96 mph—just one mile per hour, but a milestone she’ll never forget. For Emmarie, SOAR’s difference lies in its atmosphere. It’s a place where hard work feels natural, not forced, and where encouragement echoes from every corner of the gym. Surrounded by teammates who cheer one another on, she’s learned that progress comes through persistence, community, and a deep enjoyment of the journey itself.
Ryder Tymkowych | Football & Track
After seven years with SOAR, Ryder has grown from a young athlete into a leader defined by grit and discipline. Training has taught him that success doesn’t come from shortcuts but from showing up and trusting the process. That philosophy paid off when he broke SOAR’s pro agility record—a goal that once seemed just out of reach. “Strength and speed don’t come overnight, but hard work compounds,” he says. For Ryder, the coaches’ influence extends beyond physical training; they show up to games, celebrate milestones, and push him to exceed his limits while keeping perspective. Teamwork at SOAR isn’t about competition—it’s about building each other up. As he sets his sights on earning a spot in the 3A All-State game, Ryder carries with him the values SOAR instilled: accountability, resilience, and the understanding that greatness is built one rep at a time.
Lexa Jackson | Collegiate Swimming
For eight years, Lexa has relied on SOAR’s science-based approach to help her push boundaries both in and out of the pool. Training has strengthened not only her body but her mindset, teaching her that hard work makes the impossible attainable. Her proudest moment came when she hit 17.9 mph on the treadmill—a reflection of her focus and the precision behind every movement SOAR programs. She credits her coaches’ balance of humor and support for keeping her grounded through the toughest sessions. Keith’s ability to lighten the mood and Kyle’s words of affirmation remind her that progress is both physical and mental. As a college swimmer, Lexa’s current goals are to make her team’s scoring lineup and continue building meaningful connections outside of the pool. Her advice to younger athletes echoes her journey: seek guidance, show up early, stay late, and take care of your body—because success begins long before the starting whistle.
