Anyone can call themselves a coach. A personal training certificate is easy to get. Some facilities just require a "certificate" from an online course While a certificate allows the company to say every coach is "certified", that requirement is for the business' marketing and liability protection, not for the health and welfare of the athlete.


The field of strength and conditioning has been watered down. You cannot cram five, ten or twenty years of experience into a weekend lecture. Would you hire a doctor with only one weekend of surgical experience and allow them to operate on you? Then why do you automatically trust a "trainer or coach" with minimal experience and education?

There are plenty of “coaches” who have the academic background of bachelors, masters and even PhD’s who just can’t get it done outside the classroom. While these coaches understand the theories behind strength training, they do not know how to apply their knowledge in a practical setting.

Many coaches are former athletes. They were the strongest on the team and had great genetics. Does that make them a great coach? Do they really understand the science? Do they know Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, and Psychology?



Coaching is both an art and a skill
.


Just because you were the strongest or smartest does not make you the best in your field. As with any profession, does your coach continue to educate themselves with the latest scientific research and literature? The field of strength and conditioning has grown exponentially in the last ten years. The research going on today is incredible. A true coach can apply new theories to continually make their programs better.

Evalutate Your Coach:
Do they lift weights? 
Condition?

Have they done their program?
Do they "work the floor", actively coaching or sit in the office?
Have they ever worked with anyone at your skill level?
Do they continue to educate themselves?  
Has their program changed over the years?
Do they adapt to their environment and population?
Do they teach and educate - tell you the why?
Do they have alot of injuries in the weight room?
Do they get results?

Why go it alone?


Our individualized programs allow you maximize your athletic potential while decreasing your chance of injury.
