Programs Include:
Eye-Metix
The Eye-Metrix Program is designed to improve hand-body-eye coordination, peripheral vision, depth perception, visual recognition, object tracking, and the speed of eye movements.
The athlete’s visual system accounts for 80-85% of the sensory information he/she receives. This program gives the athlete an opportunity to train this integral system.
Body Composition
This program is designed to provide the necessary knowledge, information, and training to help the athlete reach his/her desired body composition. The program will include the following:
- Complete energy expenditure profile
- Full metabolic profile
- Body composition analysis
- Nutritional consultation (no specific meal plans provided)
- Fitness training sessions
- Follow-up evaluation
Overspeed
This Program utilizes the ELG treadmill which has no resistance and extremely fast speeds. This creates more stimulus and enables the body to recruit more Type II (fast twitch) muscle fibers while focusing on proper running form and technique
Arm & Bat Speed
This Program is designed specifically for baseball and softball athletes to improve bat and arm speed, strength, and rotational power
