A Wholistic Approach To Performance
Speed and Power Training
Strength & Conditioning
Injury Prevention
Speed is the most sought-after component in all sports which is why we spend a large portion of every training session teaching athletes how to move faster and more efficiently when starting, stopping, changing direction, cutting, and reaching max velocity. Just like any other sports skill like throwing a baseball or shooting a basketball, speed can be taught. It’s this expertise that sets us apart from other sports performance facilities.
Strength training is done with the specific purpose of helping the athlete get faster and more powerful. We will modify sets, reps, and the speed of the movement for the most potent stimulus for the individual athlete.
​
In addition, our conditioning for most sports is focused on developing the repeat sprint ability of an athlete. You don’t want to be the athlete who makes a good play, but is gassed the rest of the game. Using a specific protocol our athletes develop a strong aerobic and anaerobic capacity to allow them to not get tired and make plays at the end of the game.
The best ability is availability. In addition to gains in strength and speed, stay on the field longer with dedicated range of motion and mobility improvements and build strength in those ranges to keep yourself on the field and playing at a high level.

"Jason Feairheller at Function and Strength has been instrumental in both my sons' athletic development, training them since before high school to enhance their speed and explosiveness for lacrosse. His research-based, sport-specific approach gave them a critical edge, helping them compete at the highest level. Thanks mainly to Jason's training, they recently committed to playing college lacrosse at a Big Ten program. His expertise and dedication have significantly impacted their success, and I highly recommend him to any athlete looking to reach their full potential"

"Training with Function and Strength for the past seven years has been key to my success as an NCAA athlete. Their summer programs keep me in top shape with challenging workouts focused on strength, speed, and plyometrics. The trainers make sessions both effective and enjoyable, building strong relationships and truly caring about each athlete's performance. I highly recommend Function and Strength to any athlete looking to reach the next level."

"I've been going to Function & Strength consistently for 2 years now. Marty, Jason and Chris are all outstanding coaches and even better people. My main goal coming in was to get faster on the ice. In the past two years my speed has improved tremendously and is continuing to improve. Their programming and expertise helped me excel both on and off the ice. They are always willing to give me advice when needed. I wouldn't be where I am today without the guys at F&S."

"Training with Function and Strength the past 4.5 years has had a tremendous impact on my swimming performance. Their attention to detail, technical expertise and ability to tailor workouts to meet my individual needs has been instrumental in helping me develop the strength and mindset needed to perform at a collegiate level. More importantly, I have learned the value of hard work, consistency and pushing through challenges. The coaches at FxS don't just train better athletes, they build better people. I highly recommend."
