We want to help build confidence in you or your team’s training and competition. We facilitate that through unpacking the fundamentals of strength training, recovery techniques and mental training. Whether you’re interested in sport specific training for elite performance such as an Ironman or just personal training for yourself, be it your first triathlon or getting serious about fat loss or muscle gain, you’ll be sure to gain insight. We strive to provide concise and actionable information covering all topics of fitness, health, nutrition, diet, wellness lifestyle, injury prevention, rehabilitation, stretching, weight lifting and creating a workout with a focus on safety through proper periodization, how to prevent overtraining and burnout, long-term athletic development, comprehensive strength & conditioning programming including how to develop endurance, speed, agility, quickness and power for athletic results. Occasionally we interview guests to learn from their expertise, including those from fields such as: swimming, cycling, running, chiropractic, physical therapy, naturopathic medicine, massage therapy, sports psychology, biomechanical and movement analysis, athlete assessment, kinesiology, exercise physiology and exercise science, even top-level team sports coaches for basketball, soccer, football, baseball and volleyball to share their coaching philosophies and technique tips. The training philosophy that we follow at RITTERSP is not based on the latest trends and fads but instead we discuss current topics like Paleo, Crossfit and others. We teach how to process "new" programs or training philosophies so you always know how to get the best results out of your training program for you or your team. We even discuss topics like what type of equipment is best for reaching your performance goals from dumbbells to kettlebells, bodyweight and functional training.Coaching. Training.
