Focus: Working with youth athletes in all sports to have a safe, injury prevention process for: fitness, coordination, flexibility, strength, speed, agility, and balance. This includes the Elementary to High School athletes of various developmental levels. We only specialize with youth training, NOT adult fitness centers.

Training fee structure:

Personal one on one training per session: $30.00 or $300. For the 10 weeks. This allows for a 50% improvement over group training methods.

Group environments of 2 to 4 per session: $25.00 or $250. For the 10 weeks. A midsize training group still allows for 30% improvements over sizes typical at school environments or adult body building facilities.

Team environments of 5 to 10 per session: $20.00 or $200. For the 10 weeks. A team bonding group, that adds to current training as for Cross Country, Track, Volleyball, Softball or Baseball.
