Training Programs Are Dangerous
Youth Fitness & Sports Training is a growing trend in the fitness industry today for good reason. It has been reported that;
1. 30% of U.S. youth population is overweight… 30%. Even more alarming – 15.2% are considered obese. These numbers are on the rise and as parents, teachers and coaches we have a huge responsibility to change the tide of this sad epidemic.
2. The injury rate of our youth athletes that are involved in sports is unacceptable and becoming far too common.
• over 3.5 million children under the age of 15 are treated for sports related injuries every year
• children ages 5-14 account for 40% of all reported sport related injuries
• more than half of these injuries occur at practice
These numbers are rising each year but they don’t have to.

When it comes to lifting weights and the youth athlete, a huge red flag usually goes up. It is believed to big a BIG NO! It is said that lifting weights is potentially dangerous to the growth plates for these youngsters.
Well I hate to break it to you, but as long as the appropriate considerations are taken into account, the above statement is completely inaccurate. A matter of fact, following and executing a proper resistance training program will lead to improved sports performance, increased bone strength, increased muscular strength, increased muscular endurance, increased coordination, and most importantly a decreased injury rate for the youth athlete. Believe it or not, the demands of some of the most common sports children participate in today, place a lot more strain, wear and tear on kids than a properly executed resistance training program.

What Is The Unlimited Membership?
Optimal Performance is now going to offer what I’m calling the UNLIMITED Athlete membership. Optimal Performance offers great sports training programs, but instead of only offering a 2 or 3 day per week program – with the unlimited membership, you are able to attend as many sports training session as you want. And the best part is the unlimited membership is offered at an outrageously low rate!!! Instead of $350 + a month for 8 – 12 sessions, our unlimited memberships will go for as low as $177 a month!!! And you will be able to come in for as many sessions as you want.
You will now be able to choose from a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month unlimited membership. OPTC will be offering at least one time slot per day for each age group each day
i.e. – Youth (6 – 9), Junior (10 – 12), and 13+ ( High School & College).
The only drawback is that we can only accept up to 16 athletes per training session, and scheduling will have to be book at least 2 weeks in advance. So membership and availability will be on a first come first serve basis.
