West Hills Athletic Club's athletic performance training and sports performance programs are customized to offer middle, high school athletes and college athletes in Southwest Michigan the best strength and conditioning training available, no matter their personal goal or sport. West Hills provides a comprehensive athlete development approach that helps individuals and teams enhance sport-specific performance and overall physical fitness—focusing on flexibility, endurance, and mobility.

Whether you're training for football, basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, or any competitive sport, our sports-specific training programs and certified sports performance coaches will help you excel and reach your full athletic potential.

West Hills athletic performance training has a balanced training approach that centers around factors important for youth athlete development. Each sports training session is tailored to the individual's goals and needs, focusing on strength and endurance training, explosive power, speed and agility, and injury prevention.

Strength training

We start with building a good foundation within strength training for athletes to ensure correct movement patterns. With a focus on upper and lower body strength and core stability training. Explosive power development—With getting overall stronger, we have to be able to properly transfer that strength into the specific sport or movements that an athlete does regularly. We do this with explosive power movements and plyometric exercises.

Speed and agility

Our athletic speed training and agility drills improve footwork, reaction time, lateral movement, and acceleration. Conditioning and the ability to change direction quickly are essential in every sport.

Injury prevention

Staying healthy throughout the year is one of, if not the biggest, factors in athletic development. We also ensure proper injury prevention training and strength training around previous injuries for continuous athletic performance development.
