Trailhead Athletics

It’s highly personal fitness training with a competitive dynamic designed to improve sport performance and general fitness. Our fully equipped gym and innovative cross training techniques make training fun again. By bringing together multiple disciplines such as strength training, speed, agility and functional fitness, we have created a well-rounded program that produces amazing results. When you start your training at the Trailhead, the days of repetitive gym workouts come to a quick end and so do the days of one-dimensional sport training. Whether we’re in the Trailhead training studio or taking full advantage of our local terrain, you will be encouraged to challenge yourself in an entirely new way.

We also know you keep your body busy with other activities - that’s the way we like it! Trailhead is all about teaching and training you to be the best you can be in the activities & sports that you love. After all, that’s why you live in Bellingham. On any given day you could be road or mountain biking, golfing, paddling, hiking, skiing, boarding, surfing, running, climbing or swimming, to name a few. Why would you want to limit your exercise to a traditional gym or for that matter just one sport?

Our program encourages you to get out and exercise between sessions. With your dedication and our expertise you can expect performance gains in your sport, improved agility & flexibility, improved core strength, fun and challenging workouts, and importantly for the recreational or competitive athlete, workouts timed and developed to complement your other activities. This is all achieved through personalized attention, realistic goal-setting and experienced trainers who have you in mind for each and every workout. We can also help you achieve specific changes in body composition, weight gain, or weight loss.

Strength training isn’t an end. It’s the means to an end and for us that end is outdoors. It starts at the Trailhead and moves out in the many directions our active lives take us. For years, your Trailhead trainers have competed in and enjoyed many outdoor sports. We have also spent countless hours in the gym either in aerobics classes or weight training for increased strength and power. Traditionally (for most people), training in the gym and training for outdoor activities have been mutually exclusive. Most “gym rats” go through the motions in routines that change rarely and provide little in the way of challenge, real intensity, or interest over the long term. Conversely, many outdoor athletes or enthusiasts shun the gym because of the monotony or because they don’t feel a connection to the people they see running everyday but have never set a foot outside to do so!

There is a better way. We’ve found it and we’re here to share it with you. We have designed a strength training and functional fitness program that will specifically support you and your sport. Contact us to arrange a FREE trial workout.
