What can I expect at my first appointment?
All programs are designed to actively challenge effort and coordination with 60 minute movement-based sessions. No two sessions are alike, and all are fun, and educational, which is unique compared to a traditional gym-based workout. The result is an increase in fitness as well as improved metabolism, body composition, and exercise technique.
I will design a program specifically tailored to your individual goals, wants and desires. Commit for 8 weeks and I guarantee that you will "look better, feel better & perform better".
• Optimize Workout Time
• Increase Strength
• Improve Flexibility
• Improve Aerobically
• Increase Energy Levels
• Increase Bone Density
• Boost Metabolism
• Decrease Risk of Injury
Each and every one of the professionally designed programs are created by deciding:
• Choice of Exercise
• Order of Exercise
• Speed of Exercise
• RM Load (Intensity)
• Rest Periods (Sets/Days)
• Number of Sets/Reps (Volume)
• Progression
• Variation
• Integrating Other Conditioning Factors
Getting started
The normal process in getting started with an 8-week program begins with the consultation. During this initial meeting, we will:
After all the previous components are thoroughly discussed and analyzed and we factor in your current schedule (work, school, practices, etc.) we will make suggestions as to how to structure your 8 week training package that will be most effective for you (i.e. number of sessions per week, length of each session, etc.).
After you choose the structure that works best for you, you're ready to start. The first session will be all assessments. Why should I sign up for a training program when my son or daughter can train at their high school or join a local gym?
Along with achieving real, measurable results, you will also become more knowledgeable, benefiting from me expertise in the areas of strength training and conditioning, and nutrition.
While there are many high schools that have nice training facilities, very few have full-time supervision or specialized instruction by a nationally-certified strength and conditioning specialists. Having a place to train is great, but unsupervised training can be dangerous and/or ineffective. Most local gyms offer quality training equipment, but very little instruction unless you hire a personal trainer. That will be much more expensive than this specialized programs. If you do choose a personal trainer from your local gym, I would advise you to find one that is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
Who is the training for?
Training is for every level of athlete regardless of age and ability. With the programs you are sure to improve your speed, strength, and self-confidence. The more you put in, the more you get out.
What are the age limits?
Research has shown the greatest changes in the body occur prior to age 13. Simply put, the more one can do prior to the onset of puberty, within a safe and controlled environment, the better neuromuscular system that athlete will have after puberty. Also, because of the physical demands this program places on the athlete, I will conduct a thorough pre-program evaluation. If the athlete has sufficient strength, they will be allowed to participate in the training program. If the athlete does not have sufficient strength, I can incorporate a variety of programs that will enable the athlete to develop the proper amount of strength needed to complete the program.
What does the training consist of?
First, you get very thorough functional, strength, and flexibility test to tell me about your athletic ability. Each athlete’s training is planned to include Ground-based training, Plyometrics, Sport-specific cord training and strength training. Ground-based training is a progression of exercises. These exercises move from basic balance and movement skills, through advanced running, sprinting, jumping and multi-directional skills. Training will be tailored to an athlete's individual sport. Plyometrics are Footwork drills to improve balance, agility, endurance and vertical jump. You will gain outstanding body awareness and the ability to move quickly and explosively. Cord training Attach to arms or legs to increase resistance during running, hitting, throwing, and kicking enables athletes to strengthen muscles at velocities used in actual competition. They can be used for a wide variety of athletic movement such as throwing, kicking and running. Cord training is important for developing power in sport and position-specific muscle groups.
My first appointment
The first session will consist of strength and flexibility evaluation, testing of the 40-yard dash, 20-yard dash, standing long jump and vertical jump, etc.
