1-on-1 Training
at the Complex

Individualized in-facility sessions with our strength coach. Every program is built for the athlete in front of us — not a template. Sessions include movement assessment, targeted strength work, arm care, and speed development.

01

Movement Assessment

Baseline screen for mobility, stability, and asymmetry so every program starts from real data — not guesswork.

02

Strength & Power

Rotational power, posterior chain, and full-body strength. Built for velo, exit velo, and repeatable output.

03

Speed & Conditioning

Sprint mechanics, acceleration, and baseball-specific conditioning. Faster to first, faster around the bases.

04

Arm Care & Recovery

Cuff, scap, and mobility work built in. In-season maintenance to keep arms healthy through the long haul.
