What Sets Aspire Apart?

At Aspire, we train athletes in a way that reflects the real demands of sport. Our facility lets us do more
than a typical gym. We use strength training, climbing and ninja-based movement to build well-rounded
athletes:

Climbing builds real, full-body strength and control. Athletes learn to control their body in motion with precision.
Ninja training improves coordination and reaction time. It teaches athletes how to adjust quickly when things aren’t perfect.
Strength and conditioning training build the base. Athletes gain strength, move faster and handle physical play with more confidence.

We also track progress. Athletes complete a performance assessment at the beginning and at the end of
the program, measuring strength, power, speed and mobility so they can see real improvement overtime.
The result is simple: athletes who move better, react faster and hold up under pressure!

Designed by Tony St. Germain

Aspire Peak Performance has been designed by Tony St. Germain, a highly experienced strength and conditioning coach who has been training local athletes in Milton and Burlington for over 10 years. Tony brings a deep understanding of athletic development; he has coached football for the Burlington Stampeders AAA and hockey for the Milton Winterhawks and Jr Menace at levels from BB to AA. With over 35 years of personal commitment to strength and fitness, Tony’s approach is built on consistency, discipline and long-term athletic development. His focus with young athletes is straightforward: build strength, improve power and increase mobility so they can perform better and reduce their risk of injury.

The Programs

The Aspire Peak Performance program is designed to improve all aspects of your young athlete’s game. It combines sport-specific training; such as, increasing skating speed, acceleration and shot power, with a focus on injury prevention through targeted strength and mobility work. Athletes work on strengthening and stretching key muscle groups like the hip flexors and hamstrings (commonly stressed in hockey). The program also improves mobility to support power and strength, while reducing the risk of injury. In addition, it addresses imbalances created by repetitive movements by introducing complementary training methods and activities that build a more complete and resilient athlete.

Hockey is a physical game. As young hockey players approach the U14 season, they need to prepare for hitting and all that comes with it.

The Aspire Peak Performance program is designed to address the following hockey objectives:

Overall Strength – the introduction of body contact to the game presents a new challenge that is best faced with increased muscle mass and strength.
- Stronger muscles increase the protection and strength of bones
- Stronger muscles increase the effectiveness and outcomes of body contact
- Stronger muscles are more explosive, when combined with speed and power training
- Stronger muscles increase power in skating and harder shots
Power, Speed and Agility – increasing the dynamics of movement to go bigger and faster with greater precision. Getting to the puck first with confidence.
Endurance and Cardio Fitness – being strong and fast is important but means very little if the effort and intensity cannot be sustained for the entire game. Athletes need to continue to perform at their best right through the third period and sometimes beyond.
Mobility and Flexibility – improving both athleticism and reducing the risk of injury.

The Aspire Peak Performance program is designed to improve all aspects of your young athlete’s performance on the hill. This requires a balanced focus on training for sport specific goals like; increasing explosive power for starts alongside proactive injury reduction through strengthening and mobility work. Special attention is given to the major lower-body muscle groups and hip flexors to better support the knees and hips (areas commonly stressed in ski racing) while also addressing imbalances created by repetitive movement through the introduction of complementary alternative training methods and activities.

As ski racers progress into more competitive levels, they must be prepared for higher speeds, more aggressive courses and increased physical demands.

The Aspire Peak Performance program is designed to address the following ski racing objectives:

Overall Strength – Developing total-body strength to support powerful, controlled skiing.
- Stronger muscles increase joint stability and strength of bones
- Stronger muscles improve the ability to absorb forces and maintain control
- Stronger muscles are more explosive, when combined with speed and power training
- Stronger muscles support better posture and alignment, improve efficiency and reduce fatigue
Power, Speed and Agility – increasing the dynamics of movement to go bigger and faster with greater precision. Faster, more explosive starts, improved edge-to-edge transitions
Endurance and Cardio Fitness – being strong and fast is important but means very little if the effort and intensity cannot be sustained for an entire day of racing. Athletes need to continue to perform at their best for the duration of the events.
Mobility and Flexibility – improving both athleticism and reducing the risk of injury.
