STEP 1 (Online - 10 min)
THE ATHLETE PROFILE
The process starts with an online questionnaire. We need to understand who you are as an athlete. We want to know what your goals are and what types of injuries or obstacles you might have faced in the past.
STEP 2 (In-Person 1hr)
SPORT SCIENCE TESTING EVENT
In order to prescribe the best possible exercise program, we need to identify key areas of strength and / or deficit that need to be addressed in the programming. The testing event will be lots of fun and will include the use of industry leading kinetic testing technologies.
STEP 3 (In-Person 2 x 1hr)
