Athlete Academy FAQ

Can my son or daughter join after the start date?

Yes but depends if there is space and how far along the program is. If the athlete is new to the program we want to avoid them starting past the half way point of the program giving the progression of training. If an athlete does start late, we will prorate registration.

What type of training is included?

We focus on age and athlete specific strength, multidimensional speed, power and endurance. Injury prevention is a big part of our focus so each athlete progressively builds their athletic foundation of stability and flexibility, as they continue to learn quality form with the main movement patterns we teach.

Do athletes need to play a certain sport?

The Athlete Academy is open to athletes fro all sports. This is because our training method focuses on safely fast tracking each athletes Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD). Specializes in sport and position specific too early will actually slow down overall athletic progress and is best left to later in the LTAD process.

What is included in the nutrition?

We know good athlete nutrition needs a family approach. This is why we share our Anti-Diet Lifestyle method ($299 value) with each family. This is the the same we use with our adult clients inside Prevail Coaching. So if you have any health goals yourself, this is a great benefit. Each athlete also receives a Bio Steel post workout recovery drink to help refuel, get stronger, and build quality habits.

What is the 'Bonus at-home' training?

Each athlete will receive a bonus at-home workout. This workout compliments their current in-gym training and will help accelerate their strength, core, speed and endurance. No special equipment is needed and this bonus includes full video demonstration online.

Is a membership needed?

No membership is needed. Unless for athletes over age 13 who are looking to train independently outside of our group times using their program. Athletes must be 'cleared' to train independently to ensure their form and program understanding is high.

Is the training sport specific?

Yes, and no. For athletes who are advanced and have been training with us for several years, yes. But for foundation and intermediate athletes, we focus on 'Athlete specific' not sport specific. By doing so, a much stronger foundation of athletic strength, power and multi-directional speed is built, which is essential before the athlete becomes ready for sport specificity.

What happens if my son or daughter misses a session?

Please note, sessions are non-refundable. If there is room in another session of the same age, we will do our best to accommodate for a missed sessions.

What time should I pick up and drop off?

Having your son or daughter arrive 5 minutes before is best. Our sessions are 60 minutes in length but can run a few minutes longer at times if needed. If needed, athletes are welcome to wait in the gym lounge or in the WOR for their ride.

Are all sessions coached?

Yes each training session is coached to ensure each athlete trains smart, progresses safely and enjoys themselves as they work hard and get better.

What are the payment options?

Payment options include Visa, MC or Amex. Please note, cash and e-transfer are currently not excepted.

What is the cancellation policy?

If your son or daughter is unable to attend for any reason within the first 2 weeks of the program, a prorated refund will be issued. Please note there are no refunds after week 2. Also following week 2, registration can be transferred to another athlete if there is room in the group based on the athlete's age. Alternatively, registration can be used as a credit for a future program.
