All programs are designed to actively challenge effort and coordination with 60-90 minute movement-based sessions.

Why monthly payment?

Well you can pay for 100 sessions if you want, but how do you know if you will be getting the type of training you deserve? I am the type of person that likes to “test things out” and make sure it’s working for me! I would have to say that you are not going to see dramatic changes in just 1 month. As a trainer and coach I always suggest a minimum of 8 weeks before you notice changes in your strength, speed, agility…etc. 

In-season training?

It is important that you keep the strength that you gained in the off-season. The In-season training programs will concentrate on maintaining your strength and mobility. If you are a HS football player with a Friday night game your workout would look something like this:

-Monday: Practice with your team- NO workouts.

-Tuesday: Practice with your team- Workout with Van Hook. 
(workouts=Dynamic warm-ups, Light-day strength training, Mobility work…etc.)

-Wednesday: Practice with your team – NO workouts.

-Thursday: Practice with your team – NO workouts.

-Friday: GAME DAY – Take it to the HOUSE:)

-Saturday or Sunday: Workouts with Van Hook
(workouts=Dynamic warm-ups, Heavy-day strength training, foam rollers, Mobility work, therapy pool workout)

In-season workouts for baseball is a little different, nothing is really set in stone. Baseball player like all athletes need to keep up there strength, but because they have multiple games every week, designing a training program can be difficult to say the least. This is why we take each baseball players schedule into account. As a trainer/coach you like to have a set schedule of times for the athletes to work out, but during a baseball seasons hectic schedule that never happens! So at Van Hook Training we like to keep an open mind with in-season training for baseball players.

3 Day or 4 Day workouts?

Every strength coach knows a 4 day workout would be best for off-season training, it’s the ideal amount of time to get everything in. But as we all know, ideal is not always practical (time demands, financial responsibilities, summer leagues and vacations...etc) all factor into an athlete’s lifestyle demands. All must be taking into consideration when choosing a training package. I would have to say if you are a junior, senior or college level athlete I would always advise a 4 day workout. The athlete is getting older and a lot more is at stake (college scholarships..etc). Whatever you decide, remember you will get out what you put in. With that said, I know from experience you can still do wonders with the right 3 day workout!

Getting started?

The normal process in getting started with a program begins with the consultation. During this initial meeting, we will:

-Have an in-depth discussion of your individual, specific goals.

-Determine any pre-existing conditions or injuries that require consideration before beginning training or that may limit the type of training you are able to do.

-Analyze your current level of fitness and/or level of sport performance, along with your current nutritional habits and general lifestyle.

Based on this information, we will then develop a realistic set of both short and long term expectations and be able to give you a good idea of what your program will consist of; for the following 8 weeks and beyond.

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 training package that will be most effective for you, i.e. number of sessions per week, length of each session, etc.

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, We 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, We can incorporate a variety of programs that will enable the athlete to develop the proper amount of strength needed to complete the program.
