TEEN SPORTS PERFORMANCE

GiffyFit Teens is a year-round sports training program for youth athletes ages 13-18.

Our coaches help athletes stay injury-free and build key fitness areas, including strength, power, speed, accuracy, coordination, flexibility, cardio, stamina, balance, and agility.

We build sport-specific performance in each athlete and adapt to in-season and off-season schedules. Athletes become independent, confident young people, ready for their sports and the next stage of life.

Our Approach

Our hour-long sports performance training sessions involve three components: Weightlifting, GiffyFit (GPP), and Speed and Agility.

Each session is fully coached and targets different pieces of athletic development. Together, they give athletes a complete foundation, whether they're training in-season or building a base in the off-season.

Weightlifting

Build power and strength through barbell and dumbbell movements. Weightlifting techniques and exercises carry athletes from beginners to high-level college-bound athletes.

Develop power, prevent and rehab injuries, increase joint stability, and access strength that transfers directly to sport. All athletes start with a lightweight PVC pipe and build up to a barbell when they’re ready.

GiffyFit

In GiffyFit (aka GPP), you will build endurance, stamina, strength, and athleticism.

Learn new skills and push your physical and mental limits. Increase your overall fitness in the most effective and efficient way possible.

When you play multiple sports and multiple positions, a broad base of overall fitness matters!

Speed and Agility

Build coordination and fast-twitch muscle strength to sprint faster and change direction quickly.

We use weightlifting, plyometrics, agility work, sprint mechanics, and high-intensity interval training to build speed and explosiveness.

Our Speed and Agility program uses laser speed gates for sprint, agility, and vertical testing. These laser systems are accurate to within 0.001 seconds, providing precise, reliable feedback and scores that meet college coaches' needs.

Schedule

Our training schedule adjusts each season to fit athletes’ schedules and needs. During the school year, we hold classes in the evenings, after school and club sports. During the summer, we offer morning and afternoon sessions.

On-Ramp

All incoming athletes complete one of our on-ramp courses:

  • Accelerated Movement Prep - A single 1 hour session where we test an athlete’s baseline speed, strength and conditioning abilities, as well as coach and train up any small gaps to be ready for group classes. This On-Ramp option is reserved for athletes with 2+ years of weightlifting and speed training experience.

  • Movement Prep - Six comprehensive 1 hour sessions where the athlete reinforces and develops the fundamentals of weightlifting, speed training and gymnastics. Each session will include a warmup, learning portion, and a workout with the movements learned from the day. Designed for athletes with some weightlifting experience.

  • Build Up - 12 comprehensive 1 hour sessions where athletes learn the fundamentals of weightlifting, speed training and gymnastics. Each session will build on the last and is personalized to the needs of the athlete. Athletes are given our in-house Movement and Nutrition guides to help follow along and learn as sessions progress. Designed for athletes new to weightlifting or those needed more 1:1 attention to build up to classes.

GROUP CLASSES

Our premium membership provides unlimited access to all of our group classes on a monthly basis. If you really want to dedicate yourself to self-improvement, this is the path for you. Most of our athletes start at 8-12x/month and increase to Unlimited from there, but some are ready for Unlimited right out of the gates.

During a sports season, most of our high school athletes use our In Season Maintenance membership, while our younger athletes typically come more often.

“The Teens program was an awesome experience for me. I loved how accomplished I felt after completing a workout, how Nick pushed me to do my best and break my personal records, and how all of the other people in the gym were supportive, no matter what.

Before I did the program, I was almost always in pain, either from my joints or just being sore, and I didn’t really do anything else besides swimming, which isn’t very healthy. I’m really glad that I did the sports camp because it strengthened all of my muscles and joints, and it helped me become a better all around athlete.”
