Strength & Conditioning
Train Just Like the Pros
Professional athletes in every major sport train in Strength & Conditioning. If you want to lose fat or change your body, one of the most important things you can do is lift weights. Diet and cardio are equally important, but when it comes to changing how your body looks, weight training wins hands down. Weight training is essential, whether competing in sports, recovering from an injury, or seeking to enhance overall health and wellness.
SGC Sports Training has designed programs to meet the needs for athletes in all sports. Our certified athletic trainers will work with you to determine the right combination of exercises and equipment necessary to achieve your goals, including preventative steps to minimize risk for injury.
If you’ve hesitated to start a strength training program, it may motivate you to know that lifting weights can:
- Help raise your metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn all day long.
- Strengthen bones, especially important for women
- Make you stronger and increase muscular endurance
- Help you avoid injuries
- Increase your confidence and self-esteem
- Improve coordination and balance
At SGC Sports Training, you’ll find you have a full range of resources and advanced equipment at your disposal, including a complete range of free weights and circuit training equipment. So if you’re looking for strength training with the help of our personal trainers or just a place to workout SGC has it all!!
Just a few key points you should always keep in mind:
- Always warm up before you start lifting weights. This helps get your muscles warm and prevent injury. You can warm up with light cardio or by doing a light set of each exercise before going to heavier weights.
- Lift and lower your weights slowly. Don’t use momentum to lift the weight. If you have to swing to get the weight up, chances are you’re using too much weight.
- Breathe. Don’t hold your breath and make sure you’re using full range of motion throughout the movement.
- Control the Weight. Pay attention to your posture and do not jerk your movement. Keep your balance and use slow controlled movements.
