What is a “Nekton?” A Nekton is any aquatic animal that can freely flow throughout the water without being pulled in the direction of the current. We believe the great white shark is the ultimate Nekton. A great white shark is a predator in the ocean, always hungry, never satisfied. Like a shark, a Nekton athlete is never pulled in the direction of the crowd. A Nekton athlete stands out, and excels in everything they do, always hungry for success, always changing their best. 

What people are saying about Nekton Sports Performance:

Have been going to Nekton whenever I have been home from college and it uses very similar overall performance drills, lifts, and recovery methods as the D1 school I went to. Most recently, I went in for a pulled hamstring that has been nagging me and after I used Nektons recovery method I left with no pain in my hamstring. He fit me in last second because I needed to get recovery before my fall camp for college football.

Nekton Sports Performance is an amazing place!! Jake and Hailey are incredibly welcoming. Such a conducive environment for training. I would highly recommend NSP for individuals or teams looking for a training facility.

Jake, Hailey and crew have been so wonderful! My 11 year old loves going to Nekton year round. He says it’s one of his favorite places to go, because they know how to get him to work hard, and have fun doing it! He’s been working with Jake and Hailey for over a year now for hockey training, and he considers them a part of his family! I couldn’t ask for a better place for him to train, as they build him up spiritually, physically and mentally, while working him to push himself to be his best.

My boys ages 12 and 10 have been going to Nekton for over a year now in small group and just the two of them. They absolutely love it! Jake, Hailey and everyone who has worked with the boys have been amazing. Nekton has become a part of our weekly routine and we cannot imagine it without them. They help the boys stay on point with general physical fitness, which in turn helps with lacrosse, basketball, and baseball in our home. We appreciate all they have done and continue to do for us.

Highly recommend Nekton! It’s a great place to focus on improving performance, and reaching personal goals, & growing as a person (not just an athlete). Thanks for training Grace!

Carrie Hanson

Our twin boys, Kaden and Logan, have been working out with Jake and team for over a year and a half; basically since Nekton opened it’s doors. I have nothing but good things to say about Nekton; Jake, Hailey and everyone involved. Our boys have made significant strides in their performance since working with Nekton. They are stronger, faster and jumping higher. The individual attention that the boys get at Nekton is awesome, Jake goes out of his way to help and make sure they are doing everything they can to improve.

My son and daughter both have been training at Nekton with Jake, Hailey and team for the past 1 1/2 years. They enjoy going to each session as it is a positive environment. We have done both small and large group training. This is a wonderful addition to our community.

Emily Ritchie

Our son has been training at NSP since the beginning and I can’t say enough good things! Not only has there been improvement in fundamental skills, but he’s getting so much more than that- a Christian led training approach that translates to life beyond sports. Once old enough, our other children will train here as well!

Amanda Nellis

Over the past 2 summers I have been going to Nekton to get better at hockey. The training from them has helped my hockey skills immensely. Especially my shooting. The trainers have also been very good to talk to and are amazing at what they do. In particular Jake is a really good motivator and has made working hard fun. I would definitely recommend, and will tell you from experience that the price is worth it.

Gary Burczek

Our kids have been involved with Nekton since it opened and we couldn’t be more impressed! Not only have they improved performance wise because of the huge variety of weights and plyometric training along with synthetic ice for my hockey players but Jake and his crew are amazing role models for these kids and help enforce morals, ethics and integrity. Nekton is an amazing addition to the community.

Ann Schwartz

Today the kids and I were having a conversation about being happy for others and positive talk vs negative talk. Luke brought up “lifting each other up” and was proud to say he learned that from his time at Nekton. I am thankful that we are lucky enough to have a facility in our community that not only helps young athletes improve their athlete abilities but also teaches them important values.

Lindsey Vacek

Top-notch sports specific training at its finest. Jake and his staff bring enthusiasm and knowledge everyday, and at the same time develops relationships and trust with the athletes. My daughter has been going there all summer, and absolutely loves it!

Tim Longie

I really like is that our boys are not just learning how to train but also how to be healthy; how to couple training with eating the right things and getting the right amount of rest basically to be a healthy individual. Nekton Sports Performance is a great asset to the Hutchinson community!

Matt Butler

This is a fantastic facility. The trainers are so friendly and efficient. I go here for hockey and training is spot on.
