Everything is Coming Together

During the past 4 weeks PowerStrength has turned an old auto glass shop into a hardcore sports performance facility. We started out with a handful of committed athletes and now our family has grown into the mid twenties and rising. We have worked with Professional athletes, NCAA division I and II athletes, and MHSAA athletes. As we continue to grow we plan to offer packages that will allow former athletes an opportunity to train with the same intensity and vigor that PowerStrength trains all our athletes with. From prowler relays to o-line skill work, and everything in between, PowerStrength is on the rise and looking to take all serious athletes to the next level.

Hillsdale Football Players at PowerStrength

It was a busy Monday for PowerStrength. Jalyn Smith was in again this morning for a rigorous workout to get her ready for her upcoming volleyball season at the University of Marquette. Filling up the rest of the morning and most the afternoon were multiple groups of West Michigan football players, most of them from Forest Hills Northern. To wrap up the day Cam White (Forest Hills Central), Joe Glendening (East Grand Rapids), Tyler Sandner (GR Catholic Central), and Dan Pittman (GR West Catholic) from Hillsdale College came in and got after it with great intensity as they went through a max effort lower body workout.

Summer Kickoff

PowerStrength kicked off the day with a 9am workout with Marquette University-bound volleyball player Jalyn Smith while Jared Veldheer and former teammate Tom Korte worked out with Hillsdale bound wide receiver John Haley. Today also marked the first day of summer for our high school football players and they kicked it off at PowerStrength. All of these guys are training 3-4x/week (some 5x/week!) and are getting better every session. Big Bryce Pennington from Lakewood High School made the drive to get his first session of lineman training with Jared. Two Mount Union College football players, Cullen Dame and Abe Ilithy, came in for a workout this afternoon. The day was rounded out with a crew of washed-up meathead lifting and PowerStrength was shut down for the weekend...except for the 11 a.m. speed session tomorrow morning for various PSTS athletes. We got after it this week!

Blog is up!

Today marks the official web launch of PowerStrength TS! It was also a big day inside the facility at PowerStength. First off, Jared Veldheer began his offensive skill training. Mark Ehnis put several football players through a grueling training regiment. Then to cap off the day former NFL steelers LB Tom Korte, who is back in the USA after playing for a professional team in Italy, worked out with owners Jared and Mark.
