Fairfield Strength This Summer

Hi All -

It's been a very strange year - on many levels. This past Spring is the first season I did not coach soccer in as long as I can remember. This is also the first year in the last 10 that I/we are not involved in the State Nutmbeg games. Seems like I learned how to say no - not gracefully, not by a long shot.

The only thing that makes saying no to things that I love possible is the why. If by saying no to something you love it can somehow contribute to a greater good than missing what you have known and loved becomes doable - not easy - but doable. This past year we sacraficed what we have known for what we have been learning - and we have learned so much on so many levels. The lessons when applied have created wonderful change in many lives that we have been fortunate to touch. It has also resulted in some painful goodbyes - but in the big picture we believe that everything happens as it should, and that we will be re-united with those people we have missed when it is right.

Coach - what the heck are you talking about? Sorry - sometimes I ramble - the past year has been a journey of discovery. We at ASH CREEK have spent the last year learning and perfecting our craft - we will never be done - because each day provides the opportunity for new lessons - and new learning - but what we have discovered is that by using Z health dynamcic joint mobility in conjuction with other highly successful training methods we can help our athletes achieve some pretty incredible changes in movement, pain reduction, and athletic performance. We have applied our system approach to athletes young and old, from impaired to elite, obese to highly conditioned. By focussing on the central nervous system and turning up the volume on our internal power control system amazing changes become routine. Here are some examples -

Emergency Services - Kim Massey has lost over 150 lbs in the past year working with us. She has achieved amazing strength, flexibity, and cardiovascuar fitness.

Seniors - Joe Cafferelli's hip pain is gone and he is moving better than he has in over 20 years.

High School Athletes -

Asst. Fairfield Ludlow LAX and Ash Creek Instructor Ryota Hirata applied the Z health neural warm up with the Ludlow Boys LAX team this spring with amazing results - the team experienced only one injury attributed to inapropriate footwear - no use related injures were reported. Quality of movement, accuracy of shots, and overall performance was greatly improved.

Baseball - Fairfield Ludlowe Baseball Head Coach Keith O’Rourke reported that the athletes trained by Ash Creek Fitness were the best conditioned of any that reported to his training camp this Spring - according to Coach O'Rourke "they seemed like they were tuned in, like thier relfexes were faster and more accurate."

So what does this all mean? The Fairfield Strength Summer programming model has continued to evolve. We have training sessions available through out the summer at our new home - Ash Creek Fitness - 3370 Fairfield Ave., just over the Town line in Black Rock. We run small group trainig sessions and train ALL ages and abilites. As always - our primary goal is to provide the highest quality training that is specifically designed to meet your personal needs and help you achieve YOUR goals.
