Who Athletic Training at TSquared Is For
Athletic training at TSquared is built for the recreational athlete, not the youth academy or elite competitive circuit. Masters athletes still competing or training seriously in their 40s, 50s, and beyond need programming that keeps pace with their sport without breaking down their joints.
Weekend warriors who play in recreational leagues like soccer, hockey, basketball, or tennis, or spend weekends hiking, skiing, cycling, and golfing, often get hurt for a predictable reason: their training hasn't prepared their body for what their sport demands.
At TSquared, our athletic training program closes that gap. Whether you're a former competitive athlete returning to training or an active adult preparing for a race, ski trip, or tournament, your program is built around your specific sport and goals, using the same joint-friendly Gravity Training System behind every TSquared program.
How Athletic Training Differs From General Strength Training
Builds on a Strength Foundation
Our general strength training builds the broad foundation every adult needs: muscle, bone density, mobility, and joint stability. Athletic training builds directly on top of that base with sport-specific power and movement work.
Sport-Specific Power & Movement
Where general strength training focuses on overall fitness, athletic training adds rotational power, single-leg stability, and multi-directional strength matched to your specific sport or activity.
Periodized to Your Season or Event
Programming is built around your season, event, or competition schedule rather than general fitness goals, so you peak when it matters, whether that's ski season, a tournament, or a race.
Sport-Specific Programming
Every athletic training program starts with a movement assessment that looks at how your body moves in the context of your sport, not just in the gym. From there, Troy builds a program around the specific demands of your activity.
Rotational Power
Golf, tennis, and other racquet sports demand rotational power through your hips and core. We build this safely using the Gravity Training System, so you generate more power without straining your spine.
Single-Leg Strength and Stability
Running, hiking, skiing, and snowboarding all demand single-leg strength and balance under load. We build this through unilateral strength work using the Gravity Training System, improving stability, reducing your risk of ankle and knee injuries, and connecting directly with our injury rehabilitation program for clients returning from a lower-body injury.
Multi-Directional Strength
Soccer, hockey, basketball, and other court and field sports demand quick changes of direction and multi-planar strength, not just moving in a straight line. We build rotational and lateral strength safely, so you can cut, pivot, and react with confidence. This pairs well with our injury prevention program so recreational athletes can move confidently in every direction.
Injury Prevention Built In
Weekend warriors get hurt for a predictable reason: they ask their body to perform at a level their training hasn't prepared them for. Athletic training at TSquared is built to close that gap.
- Movement screening to identify imbalances, restrictions, or old injury patterns before they cause a new problem
- Joint-friendly loading through the Gravity Training System, building real strength and power without the impact stress that causes many overuse injuries
- Corrective exercise and mobility work built directly into your programming
- A direct line to our injury rehabilitation program if you're returning to sport after an injury or managing a chronic issue
Every program includes movement screening, joint-friendly loading, and corrective exercise integrated directly into your training, not treated as a separate add-on.
What a Program Looks Like
Step 1: Free Athletic Performance Assessment
We evaluate your movement, discuss your sport or activity, your goals, and any injury history, and outline what a program would look like for you.
Step 2: Program Design
Troy builds a plan specific to your sport, season, and current fitness level, whether that's 1-on-1 training, small group sessions, or a combination. Every exercise is selected to build the strength and movement patterns your sport demands, informed by our corrective exercise and injury prevention approach so your training stays safe as it gets more demanding.
Step 3: Training
Sessions combine Gravity Training strength work with sport-specific power, agility, and conditioning drills, whether you train 1-on-1 or in a small group.
Step 4: Reassessment
We check in periodically to track your progress and adjust your program as your season or goals change.

What a Typical Training Session Looks Like
Warm-Up and Movement Prep (10-15 minutes)
We begin with movement prep specific to your sport, gentle mobility work and activation drills that increase blood flow and prepare your body for training.
Sport-Specific Strength (15-20 minutes)
Using the Gravity Training System, we build strength in the movement patterns your sport demands, from rotational power to single-leg stability.
Power and Conditioning (15-20 minutes)
We layer in power, agility, and conditioning work matched to your sport's specific demands, whether that's change-of-direction drills or endurance work.
Cool-Down and Recovery (5-10 minutes)
Sessions conclude with targeted stretching and recovery techniques to reduce soreness and keep you ready for your next training session or event.
What You Can Expect
Improved Performance
Most clients notice improved power, speed, and movement quality within the first few weeks of sport-specific training.
Fewer Injuries and Setbacks
Movement screening and joint-friendly loading mean you build performance without the overuse injuries that sideline many weekend athletes.
Better Movement Quality
Stronger, more coordinated movement patterns carry over directly to how you move in your sport or activity.
Increased Confidence
You'll gain confidence in your body's ability to perform, whether that's on the course, the trail, or the field.
Training Options for Athletic Training
Most athletic training clients start with 1-on-1 sessions to build a sport-specific foundation, then some move into semi-private training for added motivation and value once their program is established.

Frequently Asked Questions About Athletic Training
What sports and activities does this program support?
Athletic training at TSquared supports recreational and masters athletes across most sports and activities, including golf, tennis, running, hiking, skiing and snowboarding, cycling, soccer, hockey, and recreational league sports. Programming is built around your specific activity's movement demands rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
How is this different from your strength training program?
Our general strength training builds a broad foundation of strength, mobility, and joint stability. Athletic training builds on that foundation with sport-specific power, agility, and movement work tailored to a particular sport, event, or season. Many clients build their base with general strength training first, then move into athletic training once they have a specific performance goal.
Does athletic training include injury prevention?
Yes. Movement screening, joint-friendly loading, and corrective exercise are built into every athletic training program, not offered as a separate service. If you're returning to sport after an injury, we can also connect your program directly with our injury rehabilitation services.
