"Giving you the best in Health and Fitness for Columbus."

Athlete Speed And Strength Training

Our company used to be Sports Conditioning Specialists.  Thus, we know how to get your athletes in shape, faster, and stronger.  Speed, agility, quickness, explosiveness, and vertical jump can all be improved with hard work and our knowledge.  That is all you need.  A lot of the old methods still work, we just put a little twist to them.

"Sports Conditioning Specialists have helped a number of our athletes make incredible progress as soccer players at the highest levels of high school soccer.  Thanks to SCS we've seen very good players become all-district, All-Ohio and even NSCAA All-American!  Adam and his staff do an incredibly thorough, dedicated and dynamic job with the athletes they help develop." - Scott Dempsey, girls soccer coach at Bexley High School.

Vertimax training and the Super-Fast treadmills are nice and someone obviously thinks they're beneficial, but we can produce the same results without the fancy gizmos.  If you aren't afraid of a little sweat and effort, then read on and find out how we can help you.

Our strength and speed program was created by Adam Kessler, who while forming his company, also served as head strength coach for Columbus Academy High School from 2001-05.  During his time at Columbus Academy, his work with the teams helped produce the following results:

  • Three state championship teams (Field Hockey 2003, 2004 and Football 2003)
  • One state runner up team (Baseball 2003)
  • One individual state wrestling championship
  • Working at a small school, 20+ athletes have gone on to compete collegiately
  • His strength program has produced 4-500 pound squatters, 13-400 pound squatters, and 4-300 pound bench pressers.  Which, once again, coming from a small school this says a lot
  • The speed at which their sports teams played was a direct result of the hard work put in the strength program

"Speed kills and I am a firm believer that what you do in the weight room translates to speed on the football field.  We had a strength program in place, but when Adam took over, he fine tuned it and made it workable and efficient.  Our workouts were shorter, but we were still getting stronger and faster. 

Our state championship football team was built for speed.  Yeah, we had fast guys naturally, but it was the speed developed from the other guys that surprised the coaches and myself.  I would definitely recommend this Speed and Strength training program to anyone who needs to get their team to that next level." - Jim Collis, Head Football Coach of the 2003 State Champion Columbus Academy Vikings.

Adam has taken this philosophy and applied it to the athletes that perform at Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc..  Click here to view the athletes that have trained here.

"This was the most prepared our girls have been at the beginning of practice in October.  Adam Kessler was very professional and challenged our girls to reach their optimum level." - Dave Butcher, girls basketball coach at Pickerington North and owner of 6 state titles.

The 2006-07 Pickerington North Girls Basketball Team reached the state semi-finals.  The 2009-10 team is currently ranked #1 in the state (as of February 4, 2010).

"We hired Adam for a two week boot camp at the beginning of this pre-season.  I think it helped immensely and we will be doing it again next year." Erik Feinstein, boys soccer coach at Canal Winchester.

These are the average improvements that an athlete could demonstrate by working at Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc.:

  • Almost 3 inches in the vertical jump, with one athlete improving by 8 inches
  • A decrease of .13 seconds in the 10 yard dash time, with a high of almost .4 seconds
  • A decrease of .15 seconds in the 20 yard dash time, with a high of .45 seconds
  • A decrease of .26 seconds in the 20 yard shuttle run, with a high of .61 seconds
  • A decrease of .1 tenth of a second means you are covering a little over 2 feet faster than before

For our speed and strength programs, we can adjust the length of the program and the frequency to fit your needs.  If you only have a limited amount of time or have a whole off-season, the program will be created specifically for you.  On average, our program lasts 8 weeks and we encourage athletes to come in twice a week.

Initial Assessment

To find out how we can help you, we will recommend you start with our initial Assessment.  The cost for this Assessment will be $75.  This Assessment will consist of the following:

  • Filling out a complete health questionnaire
  • Discussing what your goals are
  • Reviewing exercise history
  • Discussing nutritional habits
  • Taking selective measurements/tests
  • Laying out a plan for what you need to accomplish to achieve your fitness goals

Once we have evaluated you, we will be able to explain to you the different programs that we have to get you stronger and faster.  This includes, but not limited to: one-on-one training, semi-private training, and individual programs you can do on your own.  Our Assessment is provided with a 100% Money Back Guarantee, in case you didn't feel that this Assessment was valuable to you.

Please Note:  You will be evaluated and tested at the initial Assessment, but you will only be post-tested if you have trained with us for 8 weeks or more.  Anything less will not provide enough training to see a significant progress.  We certainly allow athletes to train with us for any length of time.  If you need a quick tune up between seasons, have only a short time frame, etc., but the post test won't be performed unless you have worked with us for 8 weeks or more.

Contact us now, to set up an appointment for an Assessment today!  Either through our Contact page or (614) 460-5348.
