Steel Valley Renegades is proud to announce a partnership with one of the Lehigh Valley’s Premier Crossfit Gyms, Crossfit Threefold.

We have been sending our son since the end of Summer and the mental and physical changes in such a short time are astounding. The programs and classes offered are great and the coaches are even better. Best decision we’ve made was becoming part of the Steel family

Not a better wrestling club in the area. Coaches are all great as well as the kids. I have a son in the fundamentals / intermediate classes and also my daughter in the advanced classes.

Our son was ready to quit wrestling until he came to his first practice at SVRWC. It was the most challenging practice he ever experienced up to that point and he had been wrestling for three years. After practice he got in the car and asked when he could come back. When we asked why, he said because he wanted to be a state champion and this was the only place he saw that being a possibility. A year later, and his skills are beyond what we could have ever dreamed for him in such a short time, well on his way to achieving his goal. We will be forever grateful to SVRWC for reigniting his passion for a sport we knew he loved and for the wrestling club family that support and encourage him everyday.

Just started sending my son here 4 months ago and his growth is amazing on the mat and off the mat. I’m very happy with his progress and how hard coaches work with these kids. The time they put into every single kid and their dedication is unbelievable. Your son or daughter will learn more than just wrestling here. The life skills that my son has learned discipline, team work, accountability and responsibility will be with him the rest of his life.

Steel Valley is an outstanding wrestling club. I live over an hour away from the club but it’s still worth the drive to take my son to get trained there because of how they train wrestlers. I’m so grateful to the coaches there for helping my son grow in wrestling. And I’m so glad I found this place.

This was my daughter's first year wrestling and her growth here has gone beyond what I expected. All of the coaches we have encountered have been absolutely amazing. There has been just as much focus on becoming tougher and more resilient mentally as well as physically. The team atmosphere is supportive and strong.

Amy SpatzerParent

Best club my son has been to. It’s a tough room. Practices are hard and long but he is growing. A lot of conditioning on top of the wrestling which is a plus.
