We will then break down the focal points of this lift and provide technical form instructions to educate and remind each athlete of important lifting details prior to performing. The coach on the floor will then carefully instruct each athlete as they progress through the strength programming. If you want to get stronger, this is the program for you.
OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING

KINSTRETCH

This class allows each athlete a self-assessment system allowing you the ability to monitor your own body for dysfunction that may be causing pain, loss of performance, or that may be putting you at an increased chance of injury.

Your coach will start each session with a quick skill and workout breakdown ensuring you understand the movements involved in the session as well as the intent of each movement. At the call of 3, 2, 1, GO we are nonstop! Your heart rate and your ability to pace yourself will be challenged each day.
YOUTH & TEEN TRAINING
Sport specific training has become more important at earlier ages in all youth sports. Kids are specializing in sports and specific positions which doesn’t allow them to develop skills outside that specific sport. Throwing, swinging, hitting, skating, shooting, etc. Even off-season training is focused on improving precision in these skills. The one thing that is constantly overlooked is strength training. If athletes can improve their movement patterns, muscle function, strength, and power outside of their sport – they will improve all aspects INSIDE their chosen sport. Even for kids without athletic pursuits, understanding the importance of strength training and general health is extremely important for a better quality of life.
