Whether you’re an adult, an athlete, or a hybrid of the two, every single person who walks through our doors trains power. Box jumps, med ball throws, you name it, we got it. . Why? We firmly believe it you don’t use it, you lose it. Have you ever seen an older person shuffling along instead of taking long, proud strides? They haven’t trained strength or power in quite some time, our goal is to eliminate that. . Training power, in whatever capacity you’re capable of, allows you to maintain strength and explosiveness. We’re trying to keep the stride length of our clients long for years to come. Come join us! . . . . . . . . . . . #mbsc #strengthandconditioning #coach #bodybyboyle #boyle #mikeboyle #strong #strength #conditioning #strengthtraining #fitness #fitfam #fitnesstraining #training #power #explosiveness #strong #powerful #boxjump #medballslam #medballs #performbetter #athlete #adult #aging #clients #functionalfitness #functional
