Had an incredible lesson with Gus. His communication and ease of booking the lesson was a great indication on how the lesson itself would go. Gus is incredibly patient and communicative while teaching. He was able to very quickly identify some bad habits and make corrections to my mechanics. By the end of the lesson I felt immediate improvement that I know will only continue to build upon itself as I continue to employ them. We worked hard but the lesson was fun and engaging. It can be intimidating being new at a sport and spending time with an expert, but my experience was the opposite with Thrive. It felt like I was playing with an incredibly knowledgeable advice giving friend, despite meeting for the first time today. I highly recommend Gus/Thrive for any lessons no matter your skillset. He packs a ton of information and skill into an hour with a completely approachable manner.

Gus was an outstanding instructor. I did a lesson with him knowing the basics but was looking to excel to the next level. He gave me constructive criticism in a positive manner. He made the lesson exciting and engaging. He explained the reasons of why he would do this or do that in each situation. He also emphasized that what works for one person may not work for another which is crucial to realize that there is not one set way perform a skill. I highly recommend him and looking forward to my next lesson that I already booked. His facility called PBX in Islip is one of the best around.

I've been training with Coach Gus for several months now, and the experience has been fantastic. Coach Gus has a unique ability to break down complex techniques into simple, steps, making it easy to improve my game. Their patience and encouragement have been instrumental in boosting my confidence on the court. Each session is well-structured and focused, but also fun and engaging. I’ve seen significant improvement in my skills, and I owe it all to Coach Gus’s dedication to pickleball Highly recommend!

Gus was super informative, engaging and help me gain my competitive edge! He pointed out mistakes but would make the fix easy to understand and repeatable. I only spent an hour with him but I will say I will be going back because I gained so much knowledge in just one hour. Incredible guy and well worth it if you’re on the fence!

Gus is an amazing coach! I never played before and wasn’t sure I would like the game but he has made it so much fun and is always very thorough in his explanation of the game and the rules. I learn something new every time! He has an amazing personality and it is such a pleasure to be learning from the best!
