What we do

Explanation of Services

Our basic philosophy is just that, basic. We believe that every athlete regardless of of sport or position should be trained as an athlete.

All athletes of any designation should have some basic skills:

  • running/sprinting

  • jumping

  • pushing

  • pulling

  • lifting

Our basic skill set is:

  • increase strength

  • increase endurance

  • increase power

  • increase flexibility

  • increase coordination

Any athlete proficient in these movements and skills will succeed in there sporting endeavors, with minimal exposure to injury.

Specific training to a sporting position seems to be the road to which you would build the optimal player. The problem with this approach is that it leaves the athlete open to issues if for instance as so often happens, the individual changes field position (defense to offense for instance). A trained athlete makes these adjustments much quicker than a single faceted player.

Our pricing is structured in such a way that the individual can visit the facility as often as their schedule allows. This gives the athlete the ability to be exposed to as many skills and movements, as often as possible, maximizing their adaption to these elements.

By continually varying the combination of skills within a workout, the dangers of stagnation and over training are over come.

WARNING

All this being said, the glue that sticks all of these skills together is hard work, we are not a babysitting service, or a place for young athletes to hang out. We work with individuals that are driven to improve. The workouts themselves are structured to be very strict on exercise form, they are fast passed, and relatively difficult according to the present ability level of the individual athlete. What this means is all the weights and sprint times assigned to the individual will be made to be difficult to obtain, according to each athlete's present fitness
