You will NOT find a pretty gym with fancy equipment and flashy gimmicks.
Our # 1 focus is on getting YOU Results.
This is Where We Excel.
In today’s day & age, what we do is too difficult for most. Playing X Box and being addicted to mobile phones or facebook are what interest 99% of athletes today.
We’re interested in the other 1%, they are often referred to as Life’s Top 1% or Elitists.
Our Training Methods are Guaranteed to Transform You Into a Stronger, Tougher and More Explosive Athlete Than Ever Before. Your conditioning will far surpass what it ever was.
Transforming you into a Dominant Athlete is NOT Our Only Goal.
We Dig Further.
The character you will develop here is something unforgettable and priceless. It will carry with you for the rest of your life. Your fellow underground members become part of your extended family, many here consider it brotherhood.
Training at The Underground develops character, leadership and accountability - rare qualities amongst today’s athletes, but something that is critical to your success in sports AND life, and we aim to help you excel in all of these areas.
As an Underground member, Excellence in all areas of your life is expected, mediocrity is rejected. Your efforts should be your best at all times, nothing less is accepted here.
In addition to forging your body into a Dominating Performance Machine, you will also become a healthier athlete, one who is less susceptible to injuries. Your overall conditioning will quickly surpass your best ever condition as well as those whom you compete against.
When you become a member of The Underground Strength Gym, we WILL rebuild your body AND your mind.
But, Not Everyone is Accepted into Our Program. Not because we are rude, but because we care about our athletes first and foremost. Anyone who brings down the energy or interferes with the passion of our goals ruins workouts for those we train. This includes athletes AND parents.
We don’t have the room or time to work with an athlete who is lazy, rude or loaded with excuses.
If you’re a parent who is obnoxious and interrupts our workouts you are not welcome here, either.
We care too much about our athletes to allow a lazy athlete to ruin it for everyone around them, or a loud, overbearing, interruptive parent to make any of our athletes feel uncomfortable.
And because we are a private club, we are very selective of who is accepted into our program.
Only highly dedicated, highly motivated athletes are accepted into the program. No exceptions. This ensures that every athlete training at our gym compliments one another and helps raise the bar for one another.
Showing up late, complaining, making excuses, etc. is unaccepted.
If you are a overbearing, rude, obnoxious parent and feel the need to scream from the sidelines telling your son / daughter how to train then you have ruined your chances for your child to train here.
Dedication, commitment, intensity – these traits and practices are all expected of our athletes.
What the Heck is The Underground Strength Gym?
Coaches and Trainers from around the world want to learn about our methods in an effort to bring superior training back to their gym and / or their team.
Our results speak for themselves. We don’t offer sessions, we offer membership. We understand that building athletes is a long term process, not a quick fix that happens in a few workouts.
Training athletes is done in 3 or 12 month membership options, ranging from 1 – 5 times each week.
We are not interested in a quick fix program so signing up for one month shows us your lack of commitment to becoming great at your chosen sport (s).
Your first membership is 3 months. After you complete your first 3 months, you have the option to renew for 3 or 12 months if we feel you are a great fit for The Underground.
If price is your main concern then we are NOT the right program for you. You can go to the local gym or health club and your results will reflect your price. We are NOT the "Two Dollar Shop" of Athletic Performance.
Membership Options:
1 per Week (In Season Only): $ 165 / Month
2 per Week / Gold Membership: 3 Months: $ 245 / Month OR 12 Months: $ 220 / Month
3 per Week / Elite Membership: 3 Months: $ 332 / Month OR 12 Months: $ 298
ALL Athletes can train at the gym 5 times per week (after probationary period). The training of 1 – 3 per week is with a Coach, the “extra” workouts allow the athlete to come in on his own schedule and practice what we call “Champion Workouts”, which is doing the little extras on their own, with their own motivation and attacking their weak areas.
What type of individual is accepted into our athlete development program?
Take a look at the list below:
- Hard Working
- On Time, ALL the time (Read: Early)
- Committed to training, nutrition, athletic performance AND character / sportsmanship
Your dedication to your training and sport is expected in ALL areas of life: Your academics and character should be representative of what others aspire to become. In a nut shell, you should strive to be THE Best. Period.
Life Long Lessons
Our training not only develops the physical aspect but the mental as well. We’re about building character in our athletes, teaching them lessons in life which are in alignment with what happens on the competitive scene in sports. It is not uncommon to see highly successful athletes move on to other ventures in their life and conquer them with ease.
We also train military, law enforcement and adults who are hard core fitness enthusiasts.
Why do you need to do something different than your competition?
ALL athletes need to get the edge over their competition if they want to truly excel and stand apart from the crowd. Their competition is already doing everything they are doing: attending athletic camps and clubs specific to their sport, training in their high school or collegiate weight room, etc.
If you’re doing the same as everyone else how do you expect to set yourself apart from the pack?
Our methods are specifically geared towards the development of you, the athlete. The USC Gym does not randomly throw together workout programs hoping they will work.
Using tractor tires, Russian kettlebells, barbells, sandbags and stones are only tools, nothing else.
Why You Need an Expert
The way we organize these methods and training tools together is what separates us from the typical program and is exactly why our results quickly skyrocket the progress of any athlete who experiences our program.
Many parents and athletic coaches try to take the performance preparation into their own hands by getting Russian Kettlebells, tractor tires, kegs, etc. Having the tools does NOT qualify you as an expert.
A good friend of mine has Kettlebells at his house, this does NOT qualify him to train you. I have a Football and Rugby ball in my house, this does NOT qualify me to Coach these sports. Getting you stronger and more powerful is our job. This is what we specialise in.
Interviewing our athletes and their parents prior to acceptance ensures that we have athletes who are ready and willing to commit to their success with supportive parents who trust us and allow us to do what we do best, which is transforming athletes into the best they have ever been.
Our hours of operation are by appointment only.
Our days of operation are Monday – Saturday.
Please understand that not all applicants are accepted due to the serious nature of our training program. This ensures that every athlete in our groups is highly motivated. We simply can not afford to accept unmotivated athletes into our groups.
Both the Parent AND athlete are interviewed because we not only require highly committed athletes, but we look for parents to be supportive of what we do, NOT overbearing.
We are Currently Limiting Underground Membership to 40 Athletes to Ensure Our Athletes Get the Best Coaching Possible. If You Apply When Membership is Full You Have the Option of Being Placed on Our Waiting List.
** Serious Inquiries Only Please **
Government Agencies / Specialized Seminars: Military, Law Enforcement and other Special Government Units are taken into consideration for acceptance depending on the nature and time frame of the project. This is an elite program and is taken very seriously, and lasts as long as necessary to achieve the desired goals of the specific group / unit.
We also offer Biomechanical 3D Analysis sevices
•Gait Analysis
•Running-related injury
•Cycling & Bike Assessment
•Golf Swing
•Track & Field
•Kicking
•Throwing
•Batting
3D Motion capture & Biomechanical 3D Analysis is ideally suited to a wide range of sport applications from tennis to cricket. It allows us to better understand the causes and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries and improve performance by identifying biomechanical characteristics of the athlete’s technique that may be non-optimal. The longer-term effects of different training schedules can be determined and progress in acquiring the sports’ component skills monitored, such as individual stroke production in striking skills or swimming. The effects of physical limitations such as height, weight, strength or flexibility can be determined and the effectiveness of physical conditioning interventions monitored over time.
