Blair and the Healthy Baller team are the epitome of TEAM in all sense of the word. Their business is so well-run, coordinated, transparent and accessible. Their approach to training and development is intentional and thorough. Blair has trained our oldest son for several years and has not just developed his body, but his mind, his heart, his nutrition and his agency/self-advocacy. They talk about and plan for how our son cares for his body and mind in the many hours outside of their training sessions. While carrying out the additional mobility work, strength training, conditioning and nutrition are up to my son- it is laid out in a plan jointly created and Blair is always accessible to coach him up or answer questions. Blair is keenly aware of all aspects of my son as a person and athlete- in the present and future. As we prepare to send our son to play Division 1 basketball, his success thus far and in the future is in large part because of Blair’s guidance to develop him as both a young man and as an athlete.

Healthy Baller is amazing!! Both of our boys have been going for over a year now. Not only do they look forward to going, they never want to miss a session with Coach Blair! Their strength, speed, jumping, flexibility and eating habits have all improved tremendously since we started working out with Coach Blair. I would recommend Healthy Baller and Coach Blair to any young athlete who is looking to improve. They are the best!!!!!!!!!

Healthy Baller provides A+ service. If you are serious in sports and want a place to go workout and really work on movements and concepts that will help you with your craft, Healthy Baller is the spot for you. The environment at Healthy Baller is second to none, it’s a fun atmosphere where you can be yourself and still be able to get a good workout in. I’ve been going to Healthy Baller for about 4 or 5 years and every year it seems like they get better and better. I trained with Wes Dunning, he does a great job with his workouts. He specifically worked with basketball movements, agility and strengthening with me because that’s what I needed and I feel like I got stronger, faster, quicker when I finished. Thank you to Healthy Baller for always allowing me to workout with you guys and a great experience!

Healthy Baller provides elite performance training services from top to bottom. In the time that I worked with Wes Dunning and Blair O'Donavan, it was clear that they were each extremely knowledgeable and committed to meeting the individual needs of each and every athlete that walks through the doors, as the Hoopers Program helped me reach my goals and left me feeling confident and prepared for my upcoming college season. What sets Healthy Baller apart is their high level of professionalism and precise attention to detail. They are genuinely invested in the success of each of their clients, as their approach to training not only encompasses physical development, but the mental aspects of performance as well. Healthy Baller is the best in the business.

Blair O’Donovan, founder of Healthy Baller, has been training athletes in the DMV for over 20 years. He’s worked with major events like the Jordan Brand Classic and Nike Skills Academy Camps, and Nike’s All-Asia Camps in China.
He’s helped local teams like Montrose Christian and Gonzaga College High School excel. And it was here that he met a talented sophomore named Wes Dunning. At Hampton University, Wes played at the Division 1 level from 2009-2013 and won the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) tournament and the NCAA March Madness “Big Dance” tournament championships.
After playing at Hampton and gaining experience as a strength and conditioning intern, Wes reconnected with Blair in 2015. In 2018, while Blair worked with the Washington Wizards as Director of Player Preparation, Wes created the HB Hoopers program to help high school and college players stay sharp in the offseason and return to the court at their best.
In 2020, Blair returned to Healthy Baller full-time and teamed up with Wes to grow the HB Hoopers program throughout all of the Healthy baller locations. All of our basketball players can expect a well-rounded experience that goes beyond just the workouts, which helps our athletes improve their skills, strength and overall game no matter what time of the year.
It’s a comprehensive basketball athletic development program designed to help you become the best, most well-rounded athlete you can be. You’ll work on speed and power drills, strength and conditioning, and agility training to take your performance to a new level.
We focus on overall athleticism as well as power development, lateral speed work, strength, and basketball-specific conditioning. This approach ensures you’re not only improving your baseline fitness, but you’ll be ready for anything on the court.
Definitely! We understand that athletes often play multiple sports, and our training is designed to improve your overall athleticism, no matter your sporting background. Whether basketball is your main focus or you’re juggling it with other sports, our programs will help you improve your speed, strength, and mental resilience, making you a better athlete across the board.
Not at all. The Healthy Baller team welcomes everyone ready to challenge themselves in a fun and community-driven environment—no matter your starting point.
