ATHLETE-CENTERED, NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL

TRAIN THE ATHLETE, NOT ONLY THE SPORT

Many movement skills—such as accelerating, changing direction, producing force, and controlling the body—support performance across different sports.

Our coaches develop these athletic foundations while considering the specific demands of each athlete’s sport and position. Strength and conditioning programs are then individualized around the athlete’s goals, experience, movement abilities, and training history.

Programs progress in structured blocks, allowing coaches and athletes to monitor development, provide feedback, and make thoughtful adjustments over time.

A PURPOSE BEHIND EVERY PART OF THE SESSION

HOW SPORTS PERFORMANCE SESSIONS WORK

Sports Performance Training sessions are approximately 60 minutes and contain two primary training components.

GROUP MOVEMENT, SPEED & AGILITY
The opening portion includes a dynamic warm-up and multidirectional speed work. Athletes develop skills such as acceleration, maximum velocity, agility, first-step quickness, reaction, and change of direction. Athletes may then apply those skills through reactive or competitive drills with their peers.
INDIVIDUALIZED PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMING
During the remaining portion, athletes complete personalized power, strength, and conditioning work based on their individual needs. Coaches move throughout the training floor, providing instruction, monitoring technique, making adjustments, and helping each athlete complete their program effectively.

I thankfully found Bolt close to two years ago and since then, go at least 3x a week. The owner, and all the coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and a joy to work with. They learn your goals and devise a plan to get you there. The small group classes are challenging with both strength and cardio components. The clients are great as well! We work hard but also have a lot of fun doing it. It's truly my favorite way to start the day. The best part? I'm am stronger than ever!!
