Strength & Performance Training (SAPT) is a comprehensive training company which focuses on improving athletic and intellectual success in youth, amateur, adult, and professional athletes. While many athletes spend ample time honing their technical and tactical sport specific skills, they often fail to acquire appropriate and adequate physical conditioning to support and promote their peak competitive performance. The certified staff of professionals at SAPT has carefully orchestrated sport and performance specific programs to address this challenge.

Each program is carefully researched and stands at the forefront of the strength and conditioning industry. Our programs are always original and never duplicated.
