Next Level

Hockey players, help your body regenerate after going through the strain of a long season.  This 8-week high volume GPP program will help you build lean mass while preparing your muscles and connective tissues to feel and perform their best going into the more intense regimen this summer! M/W/F are gym days with high rep sets or long duration under tension. T/Th/Sat are aerobic conditioning days with added recovery guidelines to implement as needed. The 12- Week Summer Program will have an emphasis on improving explosiveness, speed, agility, and hockey-specific conditioning

Restore the Base, Come Back Stronger
If you're coming out of a long season banged up, fatigued, or just needing to add lean mass, this is the rebuild before the intensity ramps back up. This is your window to recover, regenerate, and add the muscle that fuels performance when it matters most.

Not More Stress - Smart Volume
We leverage high training volume with controlled intensity to restore joint health, rebuild connective tissue strength, and correct imbalances developed during the season. Help your body actually feel good again while still training consistently.

Add Lean Muscle Mass
The game only gets more physical with bigger bodies and more speed every level you climb. Build the strength foundation hockey players often miss during the season—so you’re bigger, stronger, and more durable heading into summer.
