What Strength & Conditioning Training Includes

Real performance training is more than lifting weights.

Programs may include:

✔ Strength training
✔ Speed & power work
✔ Conditioning
✔ Running & change of direction
✔ Injury prevention
✔ Load management
✔ Mobility & recovery work

Training is built around your sport, your body and your schedule.

How Training Works at SqD

All athletes start with a consult.

We look at:

  • sport or goal

  • injury history

  • strengths & weaknesses

  • training schedule

  • season timing

You then follow a structured program inside our semi-private performance gym.

You follow your own program with coaching support, so you get the benefits of personal training without being limited to one-on-one sessions.

This allows you to improve strength, speed and conditioning without overtraining.

  • Junior athletes 14-15 may train independently during coach staffed hours.

  • Junior athletes 16-17 may train independently during and out of coach staffed hours.

  • Junior athletes 11-13 may only train during coach led group sessions.
