FALL Athlete TraininG

Winter Prep Program: Aug 15th - Oct 7th

Athletes experience measurable results through OPS Athlete Training.  OPS uses scientific methods to help get the most out of your training. Our unique program focuses on fundamental movement training, speed and agility, explosive power development, proper strength training and conditioning. Frequent tests will showcase measurable improvements as training progresses. Your goals become OUR goals!

Consistency is key to making the improvements you want to see! We recommend middle school athletes attend 2x per week and high school athletes 3x.

Vertical Jump Training

It is often said that “the brain will only allow a person to jump as high as they can land safely”

Speed and Agility training

Speed is the KING of all athletic skills.   

Strength and power

Strengthen (verb): to become stronger or more powerful…In this class we do both!

Develop your young athlete through PLAY

Youth Athlete Development

7-12 year olds

Research has shown that today’s youth moves much less than prior generations.  Lack of PE, recess,  play grounds, etc has all led to kids moving more poorly.  This class focuses on developing the specific movement patterns and skills needed to become a better athlete in the future.  We follow the principles of the Long Term Athletic Development Model for this age group to ensure these kids are getting the tools needed to develop correctly.  This class is fun and perfect for any kid that needs to move more and learn how to move better!

OPS Chiropractic care and therapy

Dr. Goins and Dr. Russell’s goal is to get to the root cause of your pain or movement impairment.  Using a combination of muscle testing, functional and orthopedic testing, and gait analysis, they work to more clearly identify what is driving the dysfunction.  Then a personalized game plan is put together, including at-home exercises aimed at isolating and building up the proper areas.  Whether it’s getting out of pain or boosting performance, they can give you the tools to get you there.

Call (260) 479-2752 to schedule an appointment. 

Offices are located in the new OPS Fitness Club located off of Dupont Rd.
