Strength, Fitness And Speed is a unique 1 on 1 training center that provides functional assessments for athletes of all ages. The results of these assessments are applied in the form of 1 on 1 training OR group training. SFAS also works with adult clients privately and “boot camp” settings. In 1998, I decided that I needed to pursue my passion all out and began taking steps to start up Strength, Fitness And Speed. In April of 1999 I started the business and was a perfusionist by day and a Strength and Conditioning Coach/Personal Trainer by night. Training was performed in an addition that I built on my house. Offsite work was done in every imaginable parking lot and basketball court in South Park that you could imagine. When the snow flew, I discovered a covered grove with a nice 60 foot long runway. Old building #4 at the South Park Fairgrounds was also utilized. For many of our clients back in the day they remember how cold it was in there!! I was also on call for emergencies and transplants 24 hours per day, 7 days per week every other week during this time. As the business grew, I was running out of time and energy. In March 2000, I left the Hospital to devote the necessary time to expanding the business and to fulfill the pursuit of my passion. In July 2001, I began using the current Pleasant Hills location to train athletes. As demand grew I began to assemble a staff that was chosen primarily for passion and character as well as certification and education. In 2014 we decided it was time to centralize and expand our operations in Pleasant Hills. We doubled our space to 5000 square feet and installed more equipment. We anticipate small continuous improvement to our facility for years to come.
