MAC Speed & Strength

Mac Speed & Strength creates more complete athletes by filling the void created by early specialization. Strength and conditioning is the most important yet overlooked component of healthy teenage athletes. A weak core and under developed back muscles can lead to any number of pains and aches and we focus our training on attacking those weaknesses. We specialize in volleyball, lacrosse, soccer, and basketball players and with our training methods we create a more explosive and balanced athlete that plays faster and with more confidence. We accomplish this through a combination of agility and jumping drills supplemented with age appropriate strength training. We work with individual athletes and we do hourly rates for team training.
We work with ages 4th grade through 12th grade, boys and girls, and all sports.

Our adult training is called Barbell Cardio adult classes
Barbell Cardio is a 60 minute adult fitness class designed to burn 600+ calories and add lean muscle while decreasing body fat. It involves a wide variety of high intensity workouts designed to increase strength while maintaining an elevated heart rate for maximum caloric burn. Each Barbell cardio class consists of 4 parts: a warm up, a strength section, a workout and a burnout. Every class with be a full body workout but will have a different muscle group focus so you are able to come multiple days in a row. Barbell Cardio is an efficient full body workout designed to get you moving and feeling better. Our main goals are to keep clients injury free and have them feel great about themselves getting out of the shower.
