The Method

Adaptive Training

Vic’s approach is decidedly different from corporate gyms, school trainers, or sports-based training programs. Adaptive Training is a hands-on approach to developing the whole athlete, with extra focus placed on technique and process to maximize results and minimize injury risk.

01

General Strength

Every athlete starts here, regardless of sport or goal. Training goes beyond lifting weights to include reactive, off-balance, cardio, and breath work — building a foundation that's adapted to your specific weaknesses and goals.

02

Sport-Specific Performance

As general strength builds, Vic introduces specialized training built for the demands of your sport — wrestling, football, lacrosse, golf, or whatever you compete in.

03

Mindset

A heavy dose of mental training rounds out the program, built to carry results from the gym to the field and beyond.

Adaptive Training requires buy-in from the athlete. It’s only over a series of sessions that Vic can determine an athlete’s strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and design a program to achieve them. This isn’t a place for the gym-hopper or casual visitor — we recommend a package of at least 8 sessions as you start your VVV journey.
