Training At TRIAD
At TRIAD we specialize in performance enhancement for athletes and athletic minded people of all ages and abilities. On any given day at TRIAD you may see young athletes, or your neighbor, training side by side with a professional athlete. The reason is our training emphasizes foundational movements, proper technique and form which as a result allow for enhanced speed, power, agility, and other performance vitals.
By focusing on fundamentals such as posture, movement, and neuromuscular coordination we can improve a person’s ability to perform at the highest level in their daily and athletic environment. How you train determines how you play.
At TRIAD we teach our clients how to train effectively for success on and off the field. We create a dynamic, challenging, and encouraging environment for our clients to develop greater capacity for increased total athletic ability while also making them more resistant to injury.
What We Do
At TRIAD we incorporate a full spectrum of physical, mental and nutritional training techniques to develop greater total athletic ability. These techniques translate to all sports and active environments. Some focus areas in TRIAD’s training are:
Core Strength & Stability / Dynamic Flexibility / Movement Mechanics / Speed & Agility / Endurance & Increased Fitness / Body Control & Coordination / Explosive Power / Posture Improvement / Sports Specific Training / Massage Therapy / Mental Focus Training / Injury Prevention / Post Rehab & Return to Play Programs.
Our training system is not a “one size fits all.” A TRIAD training program is truly customized for each individual or team we work with. The fundamentals never change, however we realize that each person is unique and we design programs to address the specific needs of each client. At TRIAD we pride ourselves on our level of service and attention to the individual.
Our Method
We start by looking at the body as a mechanical instrument subject to the laws of physics and analyzing it for deficiencies and imbalances. Then we create a custom exercise program to strengthen any weak areas, without ignoring the body as a whole.
Training at TRIAD focuses on functional exercises to build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of balance, stability and movement. By focusing on these areas first we are able to improve a person’s ability to perform athletic movements and exercises requiring higher degrees of coordination, strength and endurance as their development progresses. It's a sequential process toward optimizing the personal performance potential of our clients.
We have over 15 years of experience working with athletes and non-athletes at all levels of fitness and performance. Whether your goal is weight loss, playing college or professional sports, or just being a better weekend warrior, we can help you. With over a decade of experience and results to match, we know we can.
Injury Prevention
At TRIAD we work to enhance the performance of our clients while creating greater resistance to injury. Sports and athletic training provide a great opportunity for people of all ages to improve their fitness and health, receive mentorship, and learn valuable life lessons. However, if a person receives improper training that provokes or results in injury, many of these benefits are not achieved.
For a professional athlete an injury can mean their job. For others, injury may prevent them from participating in the activities they love. For everyone it’s about “quality of life.” Many popular training systems offer a short sighted program to increase speed, or strength without enhancing a person’s ability to move correctly, or properly control their body. Often this leads to a variety of injuries that can limit performance or lead to breakdown and injury.
Gaining sustainable health and performance is the ultimate goal. If all you’ve come to expect is to get faster or stronger in a conventional sense perhaps you’re asking for too little out of your training.
Many times people are not introduced to injury prevention techniques until they incur injury and are in a physical therapy environment. Often there are several indicators in a person’s movement that if properly addressed can prevent an injury before it develops.
Many of the tenants of athletic development and physical therapy can work together to provide a fuller set of advantages in your training. In this way we can keep you in the active lifestyle you enjoy and stop the cycle of injury and recovery by more effectively training.
At TRIAD we help our clients achieve greater athletic ability while never losing sight of injury prevention techniques and opportunities to enhance total body health and fitness.
