Latest SFAS News ...     
From the South Hills Record:

"Dom DeCicco Sr., head coach of the TJ boys' basketball program, watched three of his sons go through Wietholder' s program. His oldest son, Dom Jr., is now a freshman at Pitt. Zach, a senior at TJ, and Brock, a junior, started for the Jaguars' undefeated state champion football team this past season.

"Before they go to combines, or anything of that nature, they usually go to Ed's(SFAS)," the father said of his sons. 

"Ed is absolutely fantastic. I couldn't recommend anyone higher."

From one of our clients:

"I started training at Strength Fitness and Speed when I was in 7th grade. I came in never truly lifting a weight before and never having any speed work. By the time I was in 8th grade I was bench pressing 225 lbs and running the 40 yd dash under 5.0 sec. I believe because I went to Strength Fitness and Speed I learned how to lift the correct way and how to train in a way to bring about my true athletic potential. If I were to have gone straight into my high school lifting program without meeting Ed, I believe I would have gotten into some very bad habits. SFAS has physically changed me. I never knew learning to run the right way could make such a difference. I am 100% positive SFAS gave me a great advantage over my opponents. I have seen other trainers’ methods for speed and conditioning, none of which compare to the methods used at SFAS. I highly recommend SFAS to any athlete who is serious about their sport and wants to get an  edge on the competition. I am currently training under their supervision to prepare me for the Football Program at Princeton University ."

There are 3 options for our student athletes at SFAS:

(1)Private 1 on 1 Sports Performance Training

This comprises the bulk of our training and goes on year round. All sessions are by appointment based on the athlete's availability. Individual rates apply.

(2)Group Sports Performance Training as formed by the athletes

Athletes train with teammates and friends at reduced group rates. One member of the group acts as the group's contact with us for scheduling. All sessions are by appointment. Group rates apply.

(3)2008 Speed Schools as described below:

 Individualized training has been our strength here at Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. for years. Always has been. Always will be. However, due to the demand of Southwestern PA 's student athletes who wanted to train in more of a group setting we have continued our speed schools. 



 

 

 

 

 

Why is Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. the leader in Sports Performance Training since 1998?  

The primary reason is that we know a template based program just does not fit every athlete's needs. Systems developed in the 1980's are no longer cutting edge. One standardized system cannot cover individual physiological differences in age, maturity and gender. Here are some more: 

1. Individualized and scientifically designed & time tested training programs

All of our programs are created by Ed Wietholder, well known speed and sports performance coach to numerous athletes across Pennsylvania. These are developed in conjunction with his head performance coaches and are based on the results of the athlete’s assessment, not what a chart or protocol may call for. Ed and his staff are well aware that each individual is unique and that programs must be designed for each individual’s physiology, gender and sport. One size does not fit all.  

2. A Functional assessment

You need a map to tell you where you are going. You need a starting point and the best route to reach your destination. We take baseline measures so that we can measure the routine’s effectiveness over time. Resisted and assisted work is extremely reinforcing to the nervous system. Corrective strength and nervous system reeducation are in order for most athletes at the initiation of their program before habits are reinforced.  

3. Individual tracking and ongoing fine tuning and progression

Every athlete has his or her own private database in which each workout is tracked and reevaluated over time. Athletes change and so does the workout stimulus. We have records for our athletes from the time that they are in grade school through college!  

4. Guaranteed personal attention from the coach

Athletes train in one on one settings unless specified by the athlete. We perform small group training if the athlete wishes to train with a group of teammates or friends with similar goals. We perform assessments on each individual in the group and we recommend whether or not the athletes should form a group or not. Quality before quantity!  

5. Fully functional facilities without the fluff!

Each of our facilities are 3,000 – 5,000 square feet with sprint tracks, agility areas, half basketball court (Irwin), strength training areas, and core training areas. Our facilities are equipped with all that you need for a fully functional, no nonsense training session.  

6. An open line of communication with the Sports Performance Director

Any questions parents or athletes have regarding training can be answered via email, in person, or the telephone. This gives the athletes and parents the opportunity to better understand the program and outcomes.

7. We are continuously improving and adding to our knowledge base

We strive to always offer our clients the best of what’s available in the sports performance, health and fitness industries. Current trends are evaluated and implemented if deemed appropriate.

Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. gets you off of the bench and into the game!  

 

 

We also train adults for physique enhancement since 1998!
