Athletics: TAP Into Your Potential

Durability is the single most important component of athletic training. Our workouts and programs are dynamic and progressive. We believe you cannot train for one singular athletic component. Isolated training leads to athletic limitations. To construct a complete athlete, you need to develop balance, quickness, speed, and strength and the body’s ability to utilize all its athletic components at once. Learn how to master all of your physical talents by unleashing untapped athletic potential and focusing on developing full-body power. We will fine-tune your ability for explosive power by prescribing customized exercises to fit your individual training level.
TAP-Athletic Strength & Conditioning
Train at the top athletic training and development facility in Southwest Washington.”
“With every athlete we see, we have one goal in mind: Developing the total athlete. This all starts with durability. If an athlete is not healthy and out on the field then it doesn’t matter how good of an athlete they are. While efficiently training for durability we are able to develop elite-level strength, function, power, agility, speed, and conditioning. We do this by individualizing every athlete’s program base3d on their functional testing metrics, performance goals, strengths, and weaknesses.”
