About INFINITI PERFORMANCE

Infiniti Performance Strength & Speed opened our doors late in 2004 to serve the athletic community, and provide a venue for youth fitness. At the time we were only the second facility in Suffolk County to do so. We have grown over the years, as has the industry. It is truly wonderful that parents, as well as their children have found the benefits of such training to be a worthwhile pursuit. Like any other expanding industry, many new competitors enter the marketplace in search of handsome earnings. This is also wonderful, in that it offers the customer options, and also demands that existing businesses continue to improve and provide for their clients. However, when searching for a facility/training staff, one must understand that it is not always "apples to apples". Do your due diligence and ask questions that matter. Group size and grouping protocol? Individualized programs or "one size fits all"? Periodization or random progression of exercises? Certification level of trainers?
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE FACT THAT ALL OF OUR TRAINERS HOLD THE HIGHEST CERTIFICATION IN THE WORLD! It is universally recognized that the National Strength & Conditioning Association's title of Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) is the absolute pinnacle of the profession.
Our mission statement in 2004, as well as today is to provide a personalized, educational, progressive training environment to our clients no matter their age, or ability level. Please take the time to realize that we are not like many of the others…choose wisely!
If you do…we're sure to see you soon!

INFINITI'S FACILITY - THE ATHLETE FACTORY

Infiniti Performance's main facility is located in Bellport, NY. This multi-faceted training facility was designed by athletes for athletes. The facility features the latest innovative equipment, most of which you will not find at the local health club. Power racks, squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, etc. are the pieces with which you may be familiar. The "tools of the trade" are our series of physio-balls, variety of medicine balls, slideboards, Bosu balls, pillow discs, agility ladders, resistance bands, power cords for running, and functional trainers, Hammer Strength Jammer, Bodyblade for shoulder stabilization, jump boxes, and more. Additionally, Infiniti is one of the very few training centers in the region to have the Vertimax Training System (www.vertimax.com). In fact we have two units of this highly regarded training equipment! All this in a fully mirrored, rubber matted room (for your safety), adjacent to fully-turfed 8,000 sq-ft SAQ area.

INFINITI PERFORMANCE Training Philosophies

NUTRITION - "FEED THE MACHINE!"
An athlete has nutritional demands far greater than the average person. If we are to ask our body to complete superior tasks, we must give it the fuel to do so. We will educate you in the principles of proper nutrition whether your goals are weight loss, gaining lean muscle mass, or body re-composition. Infiniti Performance will also advise athletes on game-day nutrition, and hydration guidelines. All this at no cost to you!

EDUCATION - "MOTIVATION THROUGH EDUCATION!"
Knowledge gives it's wielder a tremendous edge. Infiniti Performance is steadfast in our belief that the athletes in our charge will remain motivated if they understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how it translates to their sport. Safety procedures for every exercise are explained and preached constantly in hope that the participant will implement such when on their own. Having said that, we will always focus on providing an ongoing learning environment for our clients.

ACTIVE DYNAMIC WARM-UP
Can you prepare to move by standing still for extended periods of time?
Should you move slowly, or not at all, to prepare yourself to move quickly?
Should you sit down and be still to prepare your body to move on its feet?
…NO, NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Dynamic Warm-up or Movement Preparation is to be performed prior to physical activity. The purpose is to increase core body temperature which allows muscle, tendons, and ligaments to become more pliable and effective. It will enhance circulation by distributing blood flow and proper nutrients to all muscle groups. Proper application will also prepare the body for performance by increasing neuromuscular firing rate and capacity. Infiniti Performance has designed our very own movement preparation model. This well-conceived dynamic warm-up is the very first thing that we teach our clients, and an instructional packet with photographs is given to each new client and coach.

PRE-HABILITATION - "STAY IN THE GAME!"
One of our major goals at Infiniti Performance is to pre-habilitate the athlete. Pre-habilitation consists of identifying markers that predispose an athlete to injury. Our aim is to then correct whatever may be in deficit; be it muscular weakness, muscle imbalance, flexibility, or any combination thereof. In addition, we all know that the fatigued athlete is more prone to injury, so overall conditioning takes on even more value. Having a season or career end prematurely could be avoided if addressed early enough. Female athletes are at a tremendous risk of suffering a knee injury. In fact, they are eight (8) times more likely to suffer a torn ACL than their male counterpart! We do extensive work with our female clients to minimize that risk.

PERIODIZATION
In order to prevent the incidence of overtraining or detraining, the strength coach must implement a well-devised, periodized training program. Periodization is a systematic approach used to identify the conditions of optimal preparation for peak performance and to ensure readiness for important competitions throughout the season. Specific phases of training are designed to optimize strength and power gains for peak performance. Peak performance occurs when fitness and fatigue differences are maximized. Modification and tapering of specific activities are tailored to ensure continuation of performance gains and reduce potential for injury. Simply put…our programs are devised to have you ready at the right time!

INDIVIDUALIZATION -
"NOT JUST SPORT-SPECIFIC! NOT JUST POSITION-SPECIFIC! BUT ALSO YOU-SPECIFIC!!!"
Infiniti Performance does NOT rely on "cookie cutter" training programs for our clients. Each client is best served with a program specific to their needs and goals. Initially, all clients age 12 years and older will undergo a comprehensive musculoskeletal evaluation performed by a licensed physical therapist. These physiological tests and measures will provide detailed information relative to an athlete's strengths and weaknesses. Once the specific deficiencies are identified, we then devise a program to convert weaknesses into strengths. The client expresses their specific goals and objectives, and our Director of Training constructs a program to reach our objectives. The client is periodically re-assessed by the performance coach to ensure that they are making proper gains toward their respective developmental goals.
