Gain Strength
Its vital in the game of hockey to be strong. Having the strength to win your battles on the ice makes a huge difference. Have you heard the saying "you can't score goals in the weight room". Clever but, what about winning your net front battle to score or prevent a goal? Winning your corner battle to change or keep possession? Winning faceoffs.. These situations all require STRENGTH!!

""Playing pro hockey for 5 seasons in the states and having a career where being in peak physical condition is important, I have had tried numerous strength programs. Bodo's program has truly gotten me physically to a level I have never been able to get to. I feel the strongest I have ever felt.""

""After suffering a knee injury I decided to work with Chris Bodo heading into my 7th year of professional hockey in Europe. His daily detailed program really helped me with knowing what my body needed and certain areas I had to attack in preparation for the season. I highly recommend Chris.""
