How do I cancel my membership?

ALL monthly membership will be subject to a thirty-day cancellation notice. This notice must be emailed to info@theathletesguild.fit and our required cancellation form must be completed to officially enact your thirty-day cancellation notice. If the notice is presented within 30 days of the next bill date, you will be charged a final month. Cancellations will not be prorated.

Are the training programs sport-specific?

All of our programs are "Athlete-specific." once our initial movement evaluation is completed, we can cultivate a customized program to each specific athlete. We consider those particular variables and movement metrics as well as chronological age, biological age, training age, the "Season" of each sport (off season, in-season etc), the demands of the position the athlete plays, and of course the demands of the sport.

What qualifications do your trainers have?

Our coaches have a combined experience of over 30+ years training athletes. With Master's and Bachelor degrees in Sports Performance, Exercise Science, Kineisology, and over 15+ certifications, our well trained staff was hand picked to offer our community the best the industry has to offer.

Why we use VBT Technology to increase athleticism-

**Using Velocity-Based Training Technology to Increase Athleticism**

In today’s competitive sports landscape, athletes are continually seeking ways to enhance their performance. At Athlete’s Guild in Concord, North Carolina, we leverage cutting-edge training techniques, including velocity-based training (VBT) technology, to help athletes achieve their goals. Whether you’re a football player, baseball player, or volleyball athlete, VBT can significantly improve your speed, agility, strength, and overall athleticism.

### What is Velocity-Based Training?

Velocity-Based Training is an innovative approach that focuses on measuring the speed of movement during resistance exercises. By using tools such as linear position transducers or accelerometers, athletes can monitor how quickly they lift weights. This real-time feedback allows for more precise training adjustments, optimizing performance and reducing the risk of injury.

### Enhancing Strength and Power

One of the primary benefits of VBT is its ability to enhance strength and power. Traditional strength training often emphasizes lifting heavy weights without considering the speed of movement. VBT shifts this focus by enabling athletes to train at varying intensities, maximizing power output. For instance, by adjusting the load based on velocity, athletes can achieve optimal results—lifting heavier weights at slower speeds for strength or lighter weights at higher speeds for explosive power.

Athletes in sports like football and baseball, where explosive movements are critical, can benefit immensely from this approach. Increased power translates into faster sprints, harder throws, and more dynamic plays.

### Improving Speed and Agility

Speed and agility are crucial components of athleticism across all sports. VBT technology allows athletes to work on their acceleration and deceleration capabilities, essential for sports like volleyball, where quick directional changes are frequent. By training with a focus on velocity, athletes can develop the neuromuscular adaptations necessary for rapid movements. This enhances their overall speed and agility on the field or court, providing a competitive edge.

### Injury Mitigation

Injury prevention is a top priority for any athlete. One of the unique advantages of VBT is its ability to reduce injury risks. By continuously monitoring an athlete's velocity, coaches can identify when an athlete may be overtraining or fatigued. This real-time data allows for proactive adjustments to training loads, reducing the likelihood of strains and sprains. Moreover, the focus on movement speed encourages proper technique, further mitigating the risk of injury.

### Personalized Training Programs

At Athlete’s Guild, we understand that each athlete has unique needs. Our use of VBT technology enables us to create personalized training programs tailored to individual goals. Whether you're looking to increase your vertical jump in volleyball or improve your sprint times in football, our team works with you to harness the power of VBT for optimal results.

### Conclusion

Incorporating velocity-based training technology into your training regimen can revolutionize your athletic performance. By enhancing strength, power, speed, and agility while also mitigating injury risks, VBT offers a comprehensive approach to improving athleticism. At Athlete’s Guild, we are committed to helping athletes in Concord, North Carolina, and beyond reach their full potential.
