Pre-Season Sports Training
The general purpose for Pre-Season Training is to prepare athletes for the demands of the upcoming sports season. We have programs designed for high school and college athletes in basketball, soccer, football, baseball, tennis, and volleyball, to name a few. We will get you in the best shape possible to cope with your rigorous practice and game schedule during the school year. We will meet 2x per week for an intense 6 week program. It will take hard work and a great effort both inside and outside of the gym. Pre-season Sports Training will include a 5 day per week routine- splitting the time between strength training and conditioning, while incorporating agility, flexibility, and skill enhancement. 1-on-1 and Team packages available.Fitness Assessment & Consultation
Whether you are beginning an exercise regimen or revamping your goals, use Green Means to chart your path to fitness. Our fitness assessment is a series of measurements that help determine your physical fitness.
The main tests in the fitness assessment evaluate body mass index, resting heart rate and blood pressure, body fat percentage, and aerobic fitness.
1. Body mass index (BMI) is one of the least demanding fitness assessment tests. It uses your height and weight to determine total body mass.
2. Measuring resting heart rate and blood pressue is important because it allows us to figure out what the safe levels of increasing the heart rate are during your aerobic exercise.
3. To measure body fat percentage we will use a patented, revolutionary scale that is fast, easy, and non-intrusive.
4. The aerobic fitness assessment will be peformed using a Step Test. This test can be completed in under 5 minutes and will measure your cardiovascular endurance and Vo2 max.
This asssessment and consultation can be done at your home, work, or in a convenient location. We will use the analyses to form the basis of a discussion about your fitness history and develop a customized exercise program.

"I worked with Candace for about 6 weeks. She was tough but still sensitive to my limitations (a bad knee). She helped me focus on strenthening the muscles in my thighs/buttocks to provide more stability and take some of the pressure off my knees. With a combination of aerobic and strength training, I lost inches and pounds and felt so much better."
