Our Training Method
-
We begin the training program with a thorough assessment of your current fitness level, sport-specific skills, and performance goals. Our Strength & Conditioning coach will evaluate your strengths, review your medical history, and define goals for improvement. This assessment will serve as the foundation for developing a personalized training plan tailored to your specific needs.
Time is spent assessing functional movements and establishing baseline strength testing. Our goal is for you to feel clarity after your assessment in terms of what your exercise program will look like and how we will achieve your goals.
-
Based on your sport, fitness level, and current exercise routine, we will work together to develop an exercise program that is specific to you. Each training session is 1-on-1 and individualized to achieve your goals. Typically, each session will involve a blend of mobility, strength, and conditioning exercises all focusing on promoting proper body mechanics, skill development, and injury prevention.
We want our athletes to stride towards their own best potential; gaining strength, power, stability, speed and endurance to keep them on the court or field, playing and running longer.

Your goals are our goals. We will create a comprehensive and progressive exercise program for you in order to reach your athletic goals. We want you to be an active participant in your fitness journey. Along the way we will teach you the why behind what we are doing for you to better understand your body and how you move.
