What clients say
I sought out Carl and he did a detailed assessment of my son at the gym. We both appreciated the way he explained things to us, focused on core strength before diving into weights, and increasing my son's overall body awareness.
I initially started training with Jason in 8th Grade, in preparation for my upcoming basketball season. … My vertical jump, agility, and strength, and conditioning all improved, and I stayed a step ahead of the competition.
When I first met Jason, I was 12 years old with the goal of playing soccer at the collegiate and professional level. … Working with Jason ultimately proved to be one of the best decisions for my athletic career.
Youth Athletes questions
What ages do you train?
We train athletes from age 6 through high school and into adulthood, with programs matched to their age and stage of growth.
Is strength training safe for kids?
Done right, yes. For younger athletes we factor in growth and how much they're already playing, and we build core strength and body control before adding heavier weights. The goal is better performance without lowering their ceiling as they grow.
How does training fit around practices and games?
We plan around the season and the strain your athlete is already under, and we teach a home routine that supports their sport instead of taking away from it.
Do you offer group or team training?
No. Every session is private and one-on-one, so the whole hour is focused on your athlete and their sport.
How do we get started?
Book a free consultation. We'll talk about your athlete's sport, goals, and schedule and recommend a plan.
