General Conditioning

Chelsea Piers BlueStreak’s general sports conditioning program is referred to as the Acceleration program.

The Acceleration program is customizable for athletes interested in overall athletic conditioning as well as for athletes intent on improvement in a specific sport.

Acceleration athletes run short bouts on the Athletic Republic-patented running treadmill, which can reach speeds of 28 miles an hour and an incline grade of 40 degrees. Protocols for short duration/high-intensity sprinting sequences are individualized based on an athlete’s goals and current fitness level.

In addition to treadmill training, the Acceleration program also includes:

• dynamic warmup
• core stabilization exercises
• sport-specific strength training
• agility drills
• plyometrics

BlueStreak athletes who train in the Acceleration program include not only runners, but tennis and rugby players, figure skaters, and gymnasts. The Acceleration program is designed to increase speed, strength and agility, athletic assets that are critical in most competitive sports.
