For Athletes

Our mission is to develop and protect athletes so they can perform at their highest level — now and throughout their careers. Through a blend of speed, agility, strength, and power training, combined with injury prevention, recovery support, and data-driven insights, we give athletes the tools to compete with confidence. With expert coaching and cutting-edge technology, we help athletes build performance, durability, and resilience that lasts well beyond game day.

For Adults

We believe everyone deserves to train like an athlete. Our adult fitness classes are fun, welcoming, and encouraging, designed to meet you where you are and show you what’s possible when you train with purpose. Every session is supportive and adaptable — whether you’re recovering from an injury, navigating normal aging, or working toward goals like staying active, losing weight, or building strength. We take the time to understand each individual’s goals and create a program that works for them, helping improve health, energy, and overall quality of life.

‍

We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships with our members and welcoming them into the Starks Sports Training family. That sense of community extends beyond our facility through partnerships with local businesses — from healthy food providers to wellness experts and physical therapists. By connecting athletes with resources that support nutrition, recovery, and overall well-being, we care for the whole person, not just their performance numbers.
