The home for Central (Columbus) Ohio track athletes who want to get faster in the off-season!!
For Track and Field athletes speed is the name of the game. In a sport where tenths of a second can mean the difference between first place and second or the difference between a college scholarship and student loans, it’s important to have a workout regiment that gives you an edge. Off-season track and field training in Ohio can be tough, but Fitness Planning Consultants gives you that edge. Your improvements from year to year are made in the OFF-SEASON! Scroll down below to see if we have helped athletes from your high school.

Our difference.
We know many track and field athletes already have training regiments. Our difference is personal attention. At Fitness Planning Consultants we tailor our workouts to each athlete. Starting with an initial assessment, we identify the areas that need work and design programs accordingly. We track and analyze the progress of each athlete, constantly evaluating the specific needs of each athlete.
We know what works.
Adam with one of FPC’s athletes, Aziza Ayoub from Jonathan Alder, who won the Division 2 800M in 2016 and 2017.
After almost 20 years and countless success stories, we know what works. Most programs out there will make you tired, but anyone can do that. We focus on what matters. Our programs for track and field athletes are dedicated to improving running mechanics and increasing leg strength. By catering our programs to the individual needs of the athlete, Fitness Planning Consultants is able to hone into what will improve your speed.
We really do train CHAMPIONS!!
We have been fortunate to work with some awesome track athletes. Adam Kessler (a former All-State track athlete himself) is a Level 1 USATF coach and not only the current Bishop Watterson Head Boys and Girls Track Coach, but also the sprint coach to many of the Watterson athletes you see below. Planning their training from off-season through the state meet.
In 2021, Adam guided both the girls and boys track teams at Bishop Watterson to Regional Runner-Ups finish. The girls ended up getting third place at the Division 1 State track meet with their 4x200M and 4x400M winning state titles.
Click here to watch their 4x200M race at the state meet, winning by .04 seconds. Three of the athletes on that relay trained with us.

More than just a workout program.
It takes more than a good workout program to develop speed. It takes good coaching—coaches who understand the needs of track and field athletes and know how to apply the right training at the right time.
At FPC, our approach to track and field training combines speed development, strength training, and running mechanics to help athletes improve where it matters most—on the track.
What you do off the track MATTERS
To run fast on the track, it is important to have the right program OFF the track. More importantly getting faster is more than just running as fast as you can for various workouts on the track. I know for a FACT the difference that off-season training made in the athletes named above to get them on that list. No matter where you live in Columbus, or outside of Columbus, we can help you.
We’re a short drive away.
Off of I-270 in Dublin, OH, Fitness Planning Consultants is conveniently located for any Central Ohio track and field athlete.
Not Sure Which Track Training Option Is Right For You?
