The off-season decides the season

You have one summer. Don't waste it guessing in the rec center.

College athletes don't lose strength in October. They lose it in June, July, and August — when nobody's watching and the work is optional.

Last summer's gains didn't stick

You came back strong, then it faded by week 4 of the season. You don't want a repeat.

Your school program is one-size-fits-all

Same lifts, same loads, no progression for your position. You're working hard for the wrong stimulus.

You lost the work you put in

Two-a-days, conditioning, and dorm life chip away at strength and speed. You need an off-season block that actually counts.

You want playing time, not a roster spot

The athletes ahead of you got stronger over the summer. So can you — with a real plan.

The Program

Strength. Speed. Durability. Every Rep Coached.

Pick the 10 or 12-week track. Both run 3 days per week, both are individually programmed, both are coached on the floor — not assigned through an app you'll quit.

  • Individual programming
    Built around your sport, position, training age, and current numbers.
  • Strength + power
    Squat, hinge, push, pull, jump, throw — progressed week to week, not random.
  • Speed & change of direction
    Sprint mechanics, accel/decel, true position-specific movement work.
  • Recovery & durability
    Soft tissue, mobility, and tendon prep so you survive pre-season camp.

PR'd my squat and dropped my 10-yard split. Felt like a different athlete by camp.

Inside the room

Real athletes. Real coaching. Every rep on the floor with you.

This is for you if…

  • You're a college athlete competing at the JUCO, D-III, D-II, or D-I level.
  • You're home for the summer (or year-round local) on Long Island.
  • You can commit to 3 sessions per week for the full block.
  • You want measurable PRs going into pre-season camp.

This is not for you if…

  • You want a drop-in gym membership with no programming.
  • You're not willing to show up consistently for 10–12 weeks.
  • You're looking for a bodybuilding split or generic weight-loss plan.
  • You want quick fixes instead of real performance work.

Real objections

Yeah, but…

I'm short on time between summer job and class.
Sessions run mornings and evenings. Pick a fixed time block — we hold your spot for the full 10 or 12 weeks.
I already have a school program from my S&C coach.
Bring it. We'll integrate it, fix the gaps, and make sure your in-season volume is matched correctly.
I'm worried about injury before camp.
We progress loads conservatively, prep tendons, and screen movement. Walking into camp healthier is the whole point.
FAQ

Common questions.

When does the program start and how long does it run?

The next block starts May 26. Pick the 10-week or 12-week track — both train 3x per week with structured periodization.

I'm in-season at school. Will this still work?

Yes. The program is built for college athletes balancing summer jobs, internships, and pre-season prep. Sessions are scheduled mornings and evenings to fit your day.

I lift on my own at school. Why come here?

College weight rooms are general. Our program is sport-specific, individually loaded, and coached every rep — so you actually progress instead of guessing.

What if I have to miss a session for a tournament or work?

Make-up sessions are built in. We track your training, so missed days get rescheduled within the same week when possible.

What does pricing look like?

Both 10 and 12-week packages are 3x/week and priced as a flat program fee. We share exact pricing on your intro call so we can match the right track to your sport and schedule.

Do you train both men and women athletes?

Yes. We coach all college athletes — every program is individualized to your sport, position, and training history.
