NorthStar Sports trains elite athletes
NorthStar Sports is all about proving you have “it.” There is something to prove every day to trainers, friends, family, and most importantly, yourself. Established in 2006, NorthStar Sports is an top-notch facility for athlete performance training in Dutchess County.
The main attraction that brings in the most student-athletes is the “Train 4 Life” program. This regimen is designed to train athletes of all ages, from youth, high school, college, professional, and even post-career. Athlete performance trainer Daniel Faison acknowledged that it is all about making the program unique to each individual. “We really try to stress that no two individuals are alike, in terms of workout routine,” he said. “We want to find out what works best for each person.”
Unlike most training facilities, NorthStar Sports works to combine all of the essential elements of athletic performance — speed training, strength training, plyometrics, resistance and sport specific training — into performance training programs. The ultimate goal is to transform these programs to help shape Hudson Valley athletes.
Mike Vavara, another trainer, mentioned that this is one of NorthStar’s busiest times of the year. “Usually towards the end of the spring, we see a lot of the young adults in particular that come in looking to get themselves in better shape for the upcoming summer.”
In addition to the “Train 4 Life” program, other programs include individualized instruction by nationally certified trainers and athletes. Small group sessions are designed with five different types of private training and a fully-loaded nutritional center.
NorthStar Sports is open year-round and offers pre-season, in-season, or post-season training. In June 2016, a second training facility opened in San Antonio, Texas.
