Sport-Specific Training Melbourne
Are you looking for tailored, sport-specific training in Melbourne?
Evolve Training Systems can help you perform at your peak - we develop highly customised training programs to ensure we squeeze the most possible performance out of you.
Since 2012, we have worked with many sports people from weekend warriors, to top-level professional athletes.
When it comes to sports-specific strength and conditioning, it's crucial that we treat it on a case by case and sport by sport basis - cookie-cutter programs will only get you so far.
First we assess the athlete, look at how they move mechanically.
We then Identify where the imbalances are, including where there is tightness, weakness or dominance.
From there, we consult with the athlete to go through history, experience, previous injury history and of course what specific areas they want to develop further.
If there are any existing injuries, we address them first.
Once we've gone through the discovery phase, we develop detailed strategies on what training methods, exercises, stretches and activation drills they need to start making progress based on their unique goals and objectives.
Then we coach the athlete on improving technique, as well as develop better, more efficient movement patterns and coordination in a 1-on-1 personal training setting.
As the athletes performance increases - we test and measure frequently, to assess where there have been improvements, what changes we need to make and progress them through to more challenging programs so they can keep reaching new heights.
Throughout our progress we review their current nutrition and advise on suggestions and improvements they can make to have more energy, strength or power, as well as repairing and recovering better and performing at their true potential.
Our number one goal is to help the athlete maximise every bit of their true potential and we love being their trusted partner in achieving that.
Client Testimonial: Pauline (Golf)
Pauline came in as a very keen golfer who practiced and played multiple times per week. She came in with the goal to improve her game and improve her strength to be able to hit the ball harder and longer. Once Pauline was assessed, we saw that there were some severe imbalances in her hips, back and shoulders. We worked firstly on her posture, then her overall strength, then specified her training to be golf specific. She lost 24kg in the process, improved her posture dramatically, and can now hit the ball longer than the men in the pennant competitions!
Client Testimonial: Rob C (Cricket)
When I first started at Evolve, I was looking to increase my bowling speed and endurance during a game. I was able to develop a more explosive drop step at the crease with the training at Evolve, doing short explosive drills and also gained a higher jump in my stride with a lot of box jumps and various leg training. This helped me improve my bowl speed from 110km/h to 119km/h, which is a massive improvement. My run up is a lot smoother now too. All of the sprint work and short burst drills was key to developing my athleticism and my overall fitness levels. I can run a 12.3 in a beep test and squat 85kg for 10 reps.
Client Testimonial: Luke W (Rugby)
I started training at Evolve when I had constant back and hamstring issues when I was playing sport. I was told to give up by numerous specialists, but through the guidance, strength training and persistence, Dave managed to get me running and playing all the sports again, pain and injury free, and gave me the knowledge on how to maintain it." Luke has been working with Evolve for a few years now. He came to us with some injury issues that kept him from playing footy. We worked hard on fixing up the issues he had with his postural imbalances, then we went through strengthening his weakness, and gave him specific mobility work to improve his very limited range of motion. Here you can see Luke doing some advanced strength training to improve his stability and and squat pattern, produce more power and to increase his load at the top of the pattern where he is weakest.
Client Testimonial: Catherine (Football)
I started training at Evolve after a major hamstring tear playing football. I was struggling with pain and lack of strength in my leg and lower back. Dave customised a program to strengthen not just my legs but my back and core muscles and assist with my posture. Through this program I was able to get back to playing a high level of football and enjoying exercise pain free.
Client Testimonial: Laura (Muay Thai)
I started at Evolve as I've always been able to train but needed a massive push to meet nutrition and training potential. I'd been undertaking Muay Thai for a fairly long time and was moving up into the higher ranks and at a stage where just training' doesn't cut it, if I wanted to meet the criteria for a black singlet. I needed a better understanding on how I need to train and eat to meet my Muay Thai goals. Evolve has done that and so much more, They've helped me improve on my coordination, agility, general movement, cardio and nutrition... I'm faster, more agile and have better power behind me. I now have a much better understanding regarding the importance of how aspects of training and food improve my sport.
