Impact Performance Training
"Train Like The Pros Do"
Here at Impact Performance Training (I.P.T.) we provide top training techniques used by professional athletes. They include resistance training, sports specific weight training, high impact performance training, expert fitness consulting and more. These training techniques, normally not available to the amateur athlete or the average citizen will aid you with weight loss, increased muscle mass, power, endurance, reduced body fat, and increased strength. Our new age training techniques will also help sport-specific athletes, shave time off 40yd dash, increase vertical leap, increase lateral movement, and increase over all agility. We offer these exclusive training techniques at less than half the cost of our competitors. All we ask of our clients here at I.P.T. is that they stay committed to themselves and committed to our program.
I.P.T. Training Philosophy The philosophy of the I.P.T. program includes the following:
The welfare and safety of the athletes is paramount and always takes precedence when asking them to perform an activity **. - An athlete will never be asked, nor allowed, to perform a strength activity that the I.P.T. staff feels is beyond his/her capacity to safely execute.
- An athlete will never be asked, nor allowed, to perform a conditioning activity that the Strength & Conditioning staff feels is beyond his/her capacity to safely execute.
**Clients competing at any level are expected to produce performances of elite magnitude in order to be competitive. In order to prepare an athlete to compete at this elite level, training must be intense and physically demanding. We at I.P.T. believe clients need to work at their maximum capabilities, and although all precautions are taken to safeguard against injuries, realistically, injuries are not totally avoidable.
The I.P.T. staff are motivators and educators; we lead by guiding rather than ruling. - Clients need feedback in order to improve their performance. We project positive influence and feedback with the power of attitude and example. We do not berate or denigrate athletes in order to get our point across. We do, when needed, expose the athletes to the consequences of their actions, and, in a safe manner, push them to the point of a planned conditioning level to reveal a lack of commitment.
- We use a simple, direct approach, and concisely and clearly explain the principle-based reasons for everything we do.
- We inform the athletes as to what is expected of them, and reward those who achieve these expectations.
- The I.P.T. Strength & Conditioning Program is based on the principles of Exercise Science; kinesiology, exercise physiology and biomechanics, as well as direct proven experience [refer to Strength & Conditioning Principles].
- We do not train I.P.T. clients to become bodybuilders, power lifters or Olympic style weightlifters; rather, we train clients to become better athletes. We train clients to develop the components of athleticism; strength, power, flexibility, speed, agility, footwork, endurance, metabolic condition, body composition, mental focus and motivation.
- We utilize the principle of specificity, and therefore use free weight training as much as possible. Free weights allow athletes to move athletically, and not in a fixed motion pattern like most machines. We train movements and thereby train the muscles that produce these movements. But, realistically, certain movements are not ideally trainable with free weights, in which case we do utilize specific machines.
- We utilize explosive power training (plyometrics, power shrugs, power cleans, push presses, jerks, and power squats). Athletes with great power and explosiveness, for the most part, dominate athletics. With all other things being equal, the athlete with the greatest power and explosiveness will dominate his opponent. We follow a sequential progression, in order to maximize safety and optimize success, for all explosive power movements.
