Mission:

• To empower athletes and general fitness members of all ages in their journey to self improvement, by prioritizing character development, injury prevention and performance enhancement, while implementing the latest in sports performance and functional training, under the close guidance of positive role models and highly qualified professionals.

Philosophy:

• Function First: Functional movement is the foundation of injury prevention and performance! If a student-athlete is unable to move properly due to dysfunction or asymmetry, performance will be stunted and the risk of injury will drastically increase.

• Comprehensive Approach: A quality strength and conditioning program is much more than just lifting weights. Although functional strength training is a critical component of all successful programs, a comprehensive approach is necessary to experience maximal results. Mobility, corrective exercise, power/ speed/ agility, energy system specific conditioning, skill development (ability to perform with proper technique), nutrition, adequate sleep and hydration are also key factors. If any of these facets are lacking, clients will not be able to reach their full potential.

• Purposeful Programming: It is crucial that a training program is in-line with individual goals. Student-athletes often lose sight of why they dedicate so much time and effort to training. Although noticeable gains in the weight room are a welcome result of physical development, the ultimate goals of a program should be to prevent injury, maximize performance and reach personal goals. Every second of every session should have a specific purpose that is in-line with these objectives!
