Year #5 for Fairfileld Summer Stength

Hard to believe it's year 5 - What started as a pilot program designed to combat childhood obesity and help middle school students learn to use the equipment in their fitness center has developed into a functional agility training model that has been applied with great success to athletes of all ages and abilities.

Perfect Practice - never to failure.
Clean movement, pattern, then load.
Quality is more important than quantity.
The central nervous system is always paying attention!
The last rep (or the worst rep) defines the bar.

Applying these principles and using them as a template that we tailor to suit the needs of every athlete we have the privilege of working with has allowed FS to become an agent of meaningful change. From special needs to performance athletes we have truly changed lives with our programming. That is not said with arrogance. It is said with gratitude and humility. We have shared a little of what we have learned and become a mirror for others to see the greatness inside themselves. It's been a truly wonderful journey.

All programming this year will be held at Ash Creek Fitness - www.ashcreekfitness.com. Cleo is back, as is Mookie. Matt and Evan and Ben have started their summer training. Evan brought his dad - how cool is that :) Matt has developed some crazy strength and is also serving as the official meteorologist for Ash Creek Fitness - his weather updates will appear hear and on the Ash Creek Fitness Face Book page.

Programming for this summer is very flexible - we welcome one on one - small group and family training models. We have room, so please give us a call or send us an email - george.gomola@ashcreekfitness.com.
