This type of training is completely functional and 100% of it will transfer from the gym to every facet of your life. Unlike large mainstream gyms and health clubs, we charge no enrollment fees, processing fees, and have no contracts. You may pay month-by-month or take advantage of our paid-up-front discounts.
Athlete's Arena's Kettlebell classes are for any man, woman, child between the age of 14-100 who cares about getting strong and fit, and/or staying that way. These classes will teach you to build strength and endurance, lose weight, build stronger bones, joints, and muscles, become more resistant to injury, and challenge yourself on an entirely new level.
During our kettlebell classes, participants will be instructed through a dynamic movement warm-up, 30 minutes of kettlebell training unlike any other training you've ever experienced (guaranteed to raise your heart rate, break a sweat, and make you stronger) and cool-down stretching using bands. After coming to the class for a month, you will feel better about yourself and your body, notice new personal levels of strength and stamina in your everyday life, and feel a difference in the way your clothes fit.
Improving acceleration and maximun velocity as well as teaching spring technique and decreasing sprint times. Great for those athletes who are participating in combines and showcases.
Our functional strength classes are designed to train and progress our athletes through proper strength training movements and safely equip them with the tools they will need to succeed in their sport. These programs are designed to be "client" specific and are done on an individual basis to strengthen personal weaknesses and reinforce strengths. The functional strength classes are great for the advancing athlete or for someone returning from an injury.
During these classes, participants will learn proper warmup techniques to prepare their body for the stress of resistance training as well as proper technique to assure that safe and effective training occur. Upon evaluation, the individual's program is designed and implemented each workout. The client will learn how to effectively incorporate multiple modalities of training to inclide but not limited to: kettlebell training, Olympic weightlifting, dumbell and barbell exercises as well as injury prevention and recovery techniques specific to their needs.
Trainer to athlete ratio is 1:3-4 to guarantee safety and results.
To put it as simply as possible, joint mobility actively pursues joint health through movement.
Joint mobility is not a new concept, it is as ancient as Qi Gong or Tai Chi. It is not the same as stretching although one of the side effects of mobility is flexibility. The main difference between mobility and flexibility is that mobility requires strength to go through the full range of motion of a joint. A muscle may not have to be stretched to go through the joint's full motion.
Joint mobility acts to reclaim a normal range of motion through activating muscles to assist in the movement. Rotating a joint through its complete range of motion (or trying increase the range of motion of a restricted joint) increases fluid to the joint which lubricates and moves waste out, just like oiling a rusty hinge.
For the athlete, joint mobility matches your active stretching ability to your passive stretching ability and develops the right blend of strength and flexibility, both of which research has shown to increase performance.
So who needs joint mobility? Anyone who wants to decrease their odds of getting injured, any young athlete who wants to strengthen their joints and prevent spinal deformities, any athlete who wants to increase their performance, an older individual whose joints are losing mobility due to calcium deposits and inactivity.
This class includes teaching and implementing age specific conditioning programs designed to decrease chance of injury, increase strength and improve coordination and sports performance. Class participants can expect to have increased speed, agility, conditioning, body awareness and balance. This is a great beginners class to learn and develop and eventually progress to a more advanced group.
Implement movement and agility techniques with the goal of decreasing injury and improving agility as it pertains to the athlete's sport.
