TEEN SPORTS PERFORMANCE

GiffyFit Teens is a year-round sports training program for youth athletes. We break up our sessions into two main age groups - GiffyFit Teens (13-18) and GiffyFit Pre-Teens (9-12).

Our program is designed to build a new generation of athletes, ones that are injury free and capable in all areas of fitness - strength, power, speed, accuracy, coordination, flexibility, cardio, stamina, balance, and agility. We also prioritize building independent and confident young people that can go out and be successful in their next stage of life.

We build sport-specific performance for each individual athlete in our program, and accommodate their needs relative to their in-season and off-season schedules.

WEIGHTLIFTING

Weightlifting classes build power and strength.

Training sessions focus on barbell and dumbbell movements - this is our most popular program for in-season training. Learn weightlifting techniques and exercises that will carry athletes from beginners to high-level college-bound athletes.

This program develops power, prevents and rehabs injuries, increases joint stability, and teaches strength that transfers directly to sport. All athletes start with a lightweight PVC pipe and build up to a barbell. All sessions begin with a coach-led warmup, primer, and technique work.

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

This is our most popular off-season training program. It will teach you new skills and push your physical and mental limits. If you want to increase your overall fitness in the most effective and efficient way possible, this is it.

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

Speed and Agility

Group of young athletes performing high-knee exercises in a gym.

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

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

Our Speed and Agility program uses laser speed gates for sprint, agility and vertical testing. These laser systems are accurate within 0.001 seconds for precise feedback and reliability, and also have a video display option. These scores are suitable for the needs of college coaches.

Parent Testimonial

“My daughter Ava Roberts has been training at Gifford Fitness under the guidance of Coach Nick for three years. In that time she has grown both physically and mentally. The physical growth includes increases in the following: strength, power, agility, and speed (bat speed and foot speed). Her self confidence has grown to the point where she has become a leader on both her club and high school softball teams. Coach Nick has taught Ava to be dedicated and work hard to achieve her goals. The result is an athlete who is self assured and one who holds herself to a higher standard.

Ava has also developed lifelong friendships with her training partners at Gifford Fitness. They encourage each other and push each other through their fitness plateaus. Through Gifford Fitness training she has not only become stronger, she has also become a better person who shows empathy towards others. 

 Coach Nick has been a tremendous role model who promotes and advocates for his athletes. I would highly recommend Gifford Fitness and The Lions Club to any high school athlete looking to become stronger to improve their athletic performance.”

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.
