Perhaps the biggest mistake an athlete can make in their development and performance is to stop strength training outright when their season begins. While no physical quality in the gym trumps sports-specific skill, practice alone is not sufficient for maintaining whatever strength and power you developed in the off-season.

The ATG Split Squat checks a lot of boxes when it comes to improving strength and mobility. We frequently program it as either part of our athletes’ movement prep or more heavily loaded in the main portion of their workout. Lets work our way up the kinetic chain to explain why this exercise is so valuable.

November tends to be our busiest month membership-wise as Fall sport athletes return and everyone is prepping for Winter sport tryouts. We also added evening adult sessions and a nutrition program. We had a handful of athletes sign LOI for Division 1 sports, exciting events, and more races.

October is a big season for racing and the homestretch for our high school sports teams as they wrap up their seasons and make a push for playoffs.

September is a transition back into more regimented schedules, new program offerings, races, and an increased competition schedule for our Fall sport athletes. There is a lot of work slated for October but we will highlight all of our members’ accomplishments from the past month. A handful of those are listed below.

As Summer scheduling winds down and kids return to school, we look forward to new offerings in the Fall and continued growth for the business. The school year provides a lot more time to work “on” the business instead of an overwhelming number of coaching hours. Our staff continues to grow so we can offer more opportunities for you to work towards your health and fitness goals.
