ADULTS
SEMI-PRIVATE STRENGTH TRAINING
Small-group strength training on a structured program that changes every six weeks. Everyone runs the same routine. Your weights and reps are set for you, and exercises get swapped around injuries.

03 — YOUR COACH
YOUR ATHLETE’S
COACH IS A TEACHER.
COACH NICK HABERLACH · M.S. · NSCA-CPT
Nick spends his days teaching PE, so working with kids isn’t a side gig — it’s his job. He holds a master’s in applied exercise science and is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association, so the programming is grounded in research and the coaching is patient, clear, and safe. Adults train with him too.

FROM A PARENT
“…not only builds strength but confidence in his students.”
“Coach Nick is great, and I highly recommend him. My child is quiet and nervous about participating in strength training. Coach Nick’s encouraging and kind demeanor not only builds strength but also confidence in his students.”
— Carol Karer, parent
04 — FOR PARENTS
WHAT AGES DO YOU WORK WITH?
−
8th grade through high school, boys and girls.
WHAT SPORTS DO YOUR ATHLETES PLAY?
−
All kinds: football, basketball, baseball, track and field, volleyball, tennis, soccer, cross-country, figure skating, fencing, lacrosse, BMX racing, and more.
IS IT SAFE FOR A KID WHO’S NEVER LIFTED?
+
Yes. Strength training is safe for kids, and decades of research show lifting weights doesn’t harm young athletes’ growth plates.
HOW BIG ARE THE GROUPS?
+
Up to 4 athletes per group.
WHAT DOES A SESSION LOOK LIKE?
+
Sessions are one hour, and every workout trains the whole body: pulling, pushing, rotation, a hip hinge or squat, plyometrics, acceleration, and power movements.
WHERE IS TRAINING, AND CAN I WATCH?
+
In Coach Nick’s backyard gym in Mountain View. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the first session or two. Seating is limited, so it’s saved for parents of new athletes.
WHAT SHOULD MY ATHLETE BRING?
+
Athletic clothes, athletic shoes, and a water bottle.
HOW DO SCHEDULING AND MISSED SESSIONS WORK?
+
Book on Calendly, as many or as few sessions as you like. Each family gets one late cancellation or no-show (under 24 hours) per calendar year; after that, missed sessions are charged.
IS THERE A COMMITMENT?
+
No upfront commitment. You’re billed at the end of each month for the sessions that happened that month.
HOW WILL I KNOW IT’S WORKING?
+
Athletes are tested on vertical jump with a Plyomat and on a 10-yard dash with Dashr laser timing. Every workout is logged in TrainHeroic, so weights and reps are tracked session to session.

FROM A PARENT
“…varied, progressive and appropriate for the age level and fitness of my child.”
“I highly recommend Coach Nick as a youth personal trainer! My 13-year-old son plays club soccer and baseball and he has been training with Coach Nick to improve his upper body strength, speed and agility. He’s noticed a difference in how he feels and how he performs at his sports. Workout sessions are one hour long. My son says they are intense but fun! He also loves to track his improvement on an app. Workouts are varied, progressive and appropriate for the age level and fitness of my child.”
— Anny Choi, parent
