Our new gym will have 12,000 square feet, but why all the extra space? Here’s how this extra space translates into a better experience for everyone:
1. Unleashing Your Inner Athlete: More gym space allows us to focus on both fundamentals and top speed training. Shorter distances require greater agility, while longer ones demand more acceleration. This translates to more effective speed drills, allowing you to truly unleash your inner athlete.
The Covid Lesson: One of the biggest takeaways from Covid was the power of “doing more with less.” During those limited-equipment workouts, I discovered the effectiveness of focusing on speed and jump training. This also allowed us to train top speed effectively, something that is very important for all athletes to have that need to accelerate. If you want to read more about this, I have an article discussing the importance of top speed https://impactfitnessandsportsperformance.com/train-for-speed/. Upon returning to a traditional gym setting, the results were surprising to say the least as our athletes crushed personal bests in jumps and power tests. This experience fundamentally changed my perspective on strength and conditioning – it’s about maximizing results, not just having a ton of equipment and developing strength, but getting that strength to transfer effectively to the field. Since then we have had 74 all conference athletes walk in and out of our doors, as well as over 36 collegiate athletes that have succeeded in a 2-4 year program, and even a few play in professional leagues.
2. A Gym Designed for YOU: Our community thrives on its diversity, from youngsters starting out to seasoned athletes and active grandparents that want to play with their grandkids. The 12,000-square-foot space allows for dedicated areas catering to each group. No more dodging each other while practicing jumps, or feeling intimidated by serious lifters. Everyone gets the space and focus they need to enjoy their workout, complete with music tailored to each zone for an even more personalized experience.
3. We have outgrown our space: Imagine 20 enthusiastic athletes sharing a gym with adults looking for a relaxing workout. Not ideal! The new space unlocks a whole new level of service. Now we can accommodate multiple training camps simultaneously, have conferences and offer more open hours, and ensure everyone has the space they need to achieve their goals.
This isn’t just a bigger gym – it’s a commitment to providing a world-class fitness experience for our entire community. Come see for yourself why 12,000 square feet means more opportunities for you to reach your peak!
