Meet the GPS Training Coaches
Cam Galgano
Sports performance and physical preparation have been Coach Cam’s passion since he was a youth athlete himself. Over the last several years, Coach Cam has worked his way across the sports performance community in a wide variety of different settings, training athletes of every level — from youth to professional.
Cam’s true passion lies in working with and developing youth athletes. Since the age of 15, it’s been Cam’s dream to open a performance facility in his hometown to help local athletes improve their performance and achieve their goals.

Coach Nathan Kasper
Kasper started his journey with performance training in high school. He played football and baseball throughout his childhood, but ultimately decided to focus on football in high school. He was undersized but aspired to play in college. Looking for the extra competitive edge to make this dream possible, he began training at GPS. From this point on, he was infatuated with the process of performance training in all sports. The goal of playing college football was achieved and Kasper went on to play football at Benedictine University where he would also pursue a degree in sport and exercise science.
Going into freshman year of college he worked as an intern at a private gym based in New Lenox, “Transformation Station” which turned into a part-time job training athletes in the “Bulletproof Athlete Program”. Within a few years Kasper became a performance coach where he trained in high-school at GPS.
