This is a class taught by Jake Mingledorff designed to help teens build strength, improve athletic performance, and develop confidence in a supportive environment.

Participants will learn proper movement mechanics, bodyweight and resistance training techniques, speed and agility drills, core stability, and conditioning exercises tailored to their age and fitness level.

Whether they play sports or simply want to get stronger and more active, students will improve coordination, endurance, mobility, and overall fitness while learning.
