We kicked off our Jump-Start program this week with an acceleration focus that quickly turned into a few competitive games.

Each athlete completed a movement screen and baseline testing before training. One of the common things we noticed right away was limited ankle mobility and tight adductors. When those areas are restricted, it makes it harder for athletes to get into the positions they need to accelerate effectively.

Sometimes natural ability can mask movement limitations for a while, but long-term speed development always comes back to the same foundation: mobility first, then power.

Great group to start the cycle. I even jumped in and participated for a few rounds.

Our February series of Run, Jump, Play wrapped up this past weekend.

This group of preschool–3rd graders showed up every Saturday ready to move, try things outside their comfort zone, and build their teamwork skills.

We’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about the benefits of resistance training.

It’s not just about building muscle. It’s about control, coordination, and awareness of where your body is in space.

A single-leg RDL is a great example. It looks simple, but it demands balance, hip stability, posture, and focus. You have to slow down and own each position.

If we don’t train these qualities, we lose them. Stability and coordination fade when they aren’t challenged. Strength work helps you move with confidence and stay capable long term.

Shout-out to Toni for making this look easier than it is. There’s a lot of strength and precision behind that rep. 💪

High intensity without technique is wasted effort. High intensity with sound mechanics is where progress happens.

On acceleration day, we use a hurdle behind the back leg to teach better leg drive and shin angle. It forces athletes to push instead of popping straight up.

After a few simple adjustments, our 10-yard times improved by an average of two tenths – one athlete dropped four tenths. Not perfection. Progress.

When they stopped chasing the clock and focused on mechanics, the times improved again – and they figured that out themselves.

Process over outcome.
Train hard. Train intentional

At Impact Fitness, we’re a 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝘆𝗺 - every member follows a plan built around their goals, with the tools, coaching, and encouragement to help them stick with it.

We know stepping into a gym can feel intimidating and unfamiliar, which is why coaching, guidance, and accountability are at the center of what we do. New members can start with one-on-one On Ramp sessions or join our 4-week Momentum class. The next Momentum round starts next week.

Whether your goal is improving posture, building stamina, regaining mobility, improving balance, or simply feeling better day-to-day, we’d love to help you come up with a plan.

Most people think they need the perfect plan, more motivation, or more time before committing to their health. But progress doesn’t come from perfect programs – it comes from consistent action.

The real transformation doesn’t happen in a few months. It happens when consistency stacks up over years.

If you’re ready to start building that consistency, we’d love to talk with you about your goals, your schedule, and where you’re starting from. Together, we can figure out what makes the most sense if Impact feels like the right fit for you – whether that’s one-on-one training, semi-private training, Momentum, or something else.

A complete program builds a resilient athlete.
Training is like a recipe. It’s not about chasing one ingredient, but about balancing strength, speed, agility, and decision-making. Metrics matter in that process. They give the athlete feedback and give the coach information to adjust the plan when needed.
But the most important metric isn’t a number.
It’s whether the athlete feels good, enjoys the process, and is developing autonomy and self-efficacy—the belief that they can solve problems, adapt, and perform. That’s different from self-esteem. Confidence comes from doing hard things well, not being told you’re good.
In the video on the right, an athlete is testing the broad jump, a simple and effective way to measure horizontal power.
In the on the left, another athlete is owning single-leg strength work. Bilateral training is valuable, but resilience is built when athletes can control and produce force on one side at a time. The mix matters.
The bottom right might look like a random game. It’s not. I’d rather see athletes developing speed at high intensity through open, reactive drills where they have to think, read, and process information, rather than just repeat patterns. We still coach mechanics early. but waking up the brain, creating adaptability, and letting athletes enjoy the work is just as important.
That’s how you build athletes who don’t just perform well—but last.

In these videos you’re seeing athletes front squatting, cleaning, all of which are moving through full flexion, control, and intent. That’s not accidental. We coach full range of motion early because it builds strong, resilient athletes, not just stronger lifts. When this is paired with multi-directional speed, plyometrics, and movement training, it creates a powerful foundation for longevity, performance, and overall health.

Why full range and forward flexion matter (elbows up in the squat position matter):

1. Builds strength and stability in positions athletes are often weakest

2. Instead of avoiding limited ranges, we train and improve them, especially in developing athletes.

(The only exceptions are when an athlete is older and more specialized, needs to focus on specific movements, or needs to limit certain ranges of motion due to a heavy sport schedule).

3. Wrist and shoulder mobility support healthy thoracic movement

4. Good thoracic motion allows the shoulder blades to work correctly

5. Proper scapular function protects the shoulders and improves sport movement

Training like this teaches the body to work as one coordinated system (intramuscular coordination), both in the weight room and while cutting, landing, and changing direction.
These athletes have learned these positions through consistent training and commitment, which is why their technique looks smooth, confident, and strong. When coached correctly, the reward outweighs the risk — improving power output while reducing injury risk.
