What Makes Us Different?

Vision Statement & How RRSMI Was Born | Goals | What makes us different | Our Team

If you are visiting this site, you are serious about improving sports performance. You probably also know there are several other facilities or individuals who offer "Sports Performance Training." In order for RRSMI to become the premier sports performance training facility in the Lehigh Valley, we need to separate ourselves from the pack. Typical sports performance programs in our area and across the country consist of the following: 

• A large class-type atmosphere lead by a personal trainer, usually certified
• A series of nonspecific drills, including jumping and running around cones or over boxes
• Some general instruction on running technique or form
• Possible timed testing to assess improvement and grading at the end of the course
• Weight training to increase bench press or squat maximums

The program we offer at RRSMI is different. In fact, we believe that we are not really competing with facilities who offer these services. They offer a program that is not comparable to ours. Running around cones and doing drills with your trainer can have some merit and is shown to improve performance somewhat, but we offer more. Now more than ever, time and money are at a premium. We offer maximum results fast because you don’t want to spend your time and money on a program that gets you a little better. We can do this by using the following: 

• Program supervision by a licensed physical therapist who is CSCS certified
• Athlete evaluations designed to build a specific program to develop sports performance
• Pro-style, laser-timed pre- and post-program testing that will prove results were achieved
• Training on the world's fastest treadmill, available only at our facility
• Vibration plate training using the most current technology and research
• Video analysis with Dartfish® software to find specific deficits in biomechanics
• A personal DVD with analysis and an athletes’ website where your individual results are posted for coaches and recruiters to view

As you can see, our program is clearly superior, which makes your decision easy.
