There are two types of program paths inside of Peak Strength - Sports Performance and Athletic Fitness.

Sports Performance

The Sports Performance path offers strength programs that are tailored to the needs for a specific sport. There are over 40 sport options and positions to select from under the Sports Performance path.

This path emphasizes strength movements relevant to the sport you select. The Sports Performance path is recommended if you have a specific athletic goal or want to improve performance in a particular sport. This path caters to athletes of all levels including and not limited to middle school, high school, collegiate, post-collegiate, club, amateur, professional, and recreational levels.

Athletic Fitness

The Athletic Fitness path offers strength and fitness programs that are tailored to the needs of people that are non-competitive athletes but are looking for an athletic approach to physical fitness. There are 5 focuses, or program types, under this path:

  • Total Athletic Fitness

  • Strength

  • Muscle

  • Weight Loss

  • Functional

This path is ideal for individuals seeking overall strength, conditioning, and athleticism. Athletic Fitness programs offer a balanced approach to fitness without focusing on a particular sport.

Bottom Line

When selecting your program consider whether you have a specific sport or performance goal in mind.

If you’re training to improve in a specific sport and need a program of in-season or off-season training, select one of the sports performance programs.

If you're training for the love of fitness without a particular sport as your primary focus, select an Athletic Fitness program for a well-rounded and enjoyable training experience.
