Program Design:

Athletic Development

Personal trainers have the opportunity to work with a large variety of populations. Many clients have sedentary lifestyles with limited recreational pursuits and are sometimes deconditioned to the extent that they develop cardiometabolic medical conditions. On the opposite end of the wellness continuum, some clients are very physically active, both in their jobs and in their personal time, with each having competition-based goals and aspirations. The training needs of these athletic clients are much different from those of the general population. Building upon the basic resistance program design principles, we develop a more advanced periodized program that will help clients with athletic aspirations meet their competitive goals. Since the type of workout will not benefit every athlete in the same way, a training program should blend the most up-to-date exercise science with the practical requirements of administering an individualized exercise program, designing a personalized program meeting the needs of the athlete and attends to the specific demands of that individual’s sport(s).

Our athletic development program design includes multiple-factor programming including sport-specific skill, strength and conditioning, balance and coordination, flexibility and mobility, speed and agility, and more. Programs can be scheduled in- or out- of season and can accomodate the full spectrum of athletic abilities.
