You are unique. This is why we don't believe in a one-size fits all strength and conditioning program. Our strength coaches take into account all of your needs and goals and work with you to plan a personalised programme that suits you. We examine your needs and complete a full evaluation based on your chosen sport(s). We then create a program of sequenced exercises and incorporate them into different segments in your program. Each section of your program is specifically planned so that you can reach your goal quickly and safely. The areas that you may want to work on:
Speed
Strength
Power
Agility
Endurance
Your programme may involve:
Teaching you functional movement patterns that will form the basis of an enhanced performance

Strength training is essential. However it is just one piece of the jigsaw that is needed to get the best out of an athlete. Your strength and conditioning program may also involve your coach working with you to monitor your overall health as we know from experience that if you aren't eating, sleeping and thinking right, your body will start to break down. If your body breaks down, injuries are likely to occur.
