CRAIG HARRIMAN

The athlete program is a strength and conditioning Program, designed to build strong, fast, enduring & durable athletes.

By stripping back the higher-skill movements, we find more time to focus on getting stupid strong, building an insane engine and staying healthy (injury free).

This program is for athletes that want to push themselves in the gym and enjoy training hard. It is ideal comp prep for events like turf games or similar comps with low skill requirements.
