“I have been working out with Brian for 5 years and I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for my career. You may have gone to trainers before, but Brian isn’t like other trainers, If you are a serious athlete and want to take your game to the next level, you are doing yourself a disservice by not already training at Van Hook Sports Performance” – Mike Meyers, Boston Red Sox

“I started when I was in high school here in town and now playing professional baseball for the Texas Rangers organization, he keeps me at my peak performance level every off-season. If you’re looking for a physical trainer that knows how to get the most out of his clients for every workout, I recommend Van Hook Sports Performance” – Drew Robinson, MLB Texas Rangers Org

“Brian’s training and customized workout programs are second to none. The facility is great and allows athletes to train in ways that cannot be done at standard gyms” – Travis Tartamella, St. Louis Cardinals

The training program will include:

At every level, baseball training revolves around strength, speed, agility and flexibility training. An effective baseball strength training program is designed to significantly improve your performance and NOT about bulking up! The fact is a baseball player has very little external forces acting upon them. This means you should not be training like a football player because you will never have a 270lbs opponent trying to rip you head off on the field and tackle you to the ground.

Too much size can reduce your range of motion, restrict your quickness and agility and hamper your execution of skills. Strength training for baseball is very different from a contact sport like football. The main priority for baseball players is to develop maximal strength and then convert those gains into explosive power, in particular hitting and throwing power, as well as acceleration. It's important to remember that bigger muscles are not necessarily more powerful muscles.

BETTER. FASTER. STRONGER.
