How often should my child receive training to improve her speed, strength, and athleticism?

While it is hard to say without doing a thorough assessment and knowing their current training schedule, we typically recommend that an athlete is training 3-4 times per week, depending on which part of their season he/she is in. We recommend at least 2 times per week and ideally 3-4 times per week. These sessions can be performed in a private training session or can be split with several other athletes. The best advice would be to contact us at 858-271-1171 and we can set up a complimentary consultation to go through the specifics.

What makes the Fitness Quest 10 Athlete Performance training program unique?

It starts with our philosophy. Our mission is to help transform the dreams of kids into reality.  Whether those dreams are to improve strength, speed, agility, and power or it's to start for their soccer or basketball team, we pride ourselves in getting results. Several things make us unique:

Our coaching staff: the finest coaches assembled with years of education, experience, and practical know-how. Not only do we train athletes, our coaches are all former athletes that understand the demands of athletics. Owner, Todd Durkin is a 2 time Personal Trainer of the Year and is recognized as one of the leading fitness and sports performance experts in the country. He helps guide the program and continues to train an elite clientele of NFL All-Pros.

Our facililty: over 8,000 sq feet of state of the art equipment, technology, and design.

Our environment: we train all clients in an extremely positive, engaging environment. You may be training right along with our dozens of professional athletes performing the same drills and programs as them.

Will I receive an at-home workout program?

Depending on the number of days you train with us, you may receive a program we want you to accomplish at home. You will usually receive this about 2 weeks into the program, when you get comfortable with the drills and techniques we teach you. Every athlete will receive at-home post-workout recovery homework, including icing, nutrition, flexibility, and other recovery activities. Your ability to do the work we give you to do at home will highly affect the results of your program.

What are your training rates?

Our rates depend on the number of athletes you are training with in a one-hour session, whether it be one-on-one, small group, or a class. Please refer to our rate sheet for specific information.

If I cannot make a session, am I charged for that session?

If you are unable to attend a training session, you will need to call 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for that session.

Do you offer nutrition as an integrated part of your programs?

Basic athletic nutrition is part of our personal training, small group, and class programs. We teach our athletes the basics of getting frequent meals, and proper, balanced nutrition. For more specific information, we have a nutritionist available that will sit down with the individual and outline a specific nutrition plan. This is done at an additional cost.

What do I need to bring to my sessions?

We recommend that you bring the following:

• Athletic Clothing and Footwear
• Any homework with give you
• A bottle of water (we provide water, but if we train outside, or at a local field, you will want to have a bottle of water).
• An after-workout snack consisting of a balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich works great.

How young to begin strength training with athletes?

We begin introducing resistance training to all of our athletes, beginning at age 8. We begin with technique and bodyweight work such as push-ups, pull-ups and lunges. We progress appropriately with the athlete’s developmental level.

I am already involved with a program at my school. How can your program help me?

Our program is a great compliment to many team’s strength and conditioning programs. We meet with the athlete as to their current training regiment, and we design our program based on what additional skills the athlete needs help with, such as balance, joint integrity, hand-eye coordination, speed technique, etc.
