Home for the summer or winter break? Keep building. Train with a former Division I strength and conditioning coach who knows what your program expects.

[01] What it is

Off-Season and Return-to-Play Training

College athletes can't afford to lose ground when they leave campus. This program gives you Division I-level coaching close to home, whether you're following your team's off-season plan or need help getting back after time away.

  • Off-season training: strength, speed, and conditioning that keeps you on track for preseason
  • Following your team's program: bring your school's plan and get it coached in person
  • Return to play: rebuilding strength and confidence after a layoff, working alongside your athletic trainer or physical therapist's guidance
  • Testing prep: getting ready for your program's fitness tests
[02] Who it's for

For College Athletes Home in the Madison Area

We Work With Your Care Team

Return-to-play training starts after you've been cleared by your doctor, athletic trainer, or physical therapist. Coach Keysha builds on their guidance, never around it, and adjusts each session to how you're feeling that day. Please share any restrictions on your intake form.
