Come to SPARTA and you'll get exactly what you need because we know it's much smarter and more efficient to focus our efforts on the weak links in your athletic movement chain. But what makes SPARTA so different is our special ability to pinpoint those weak links and then create a custom-tailored training program that will take you where you've never been before.

At SPARTA, we like to say our Secret is in the Floor. That's where we've installed a highly sensitive laboratory instrument called a Bertec® force plate. When an athlete performs a movement while in contact with the plate (jumping for example), we can measure how much and how quickly they produce force in three different directions. This is far more specific and revealing than simply measuring vertical jump height for example.

When you perform our proprietary combination of athletic movements on the force plate, we can rapidly determine (in about 20 minutes) whether you are what we call a Force or Time-dominant athlete. Think of it like a x-ray of your nervous system. We are able to take a deeper look, and change your nervous system with specific combinations of different training movements.

This matters to us (and you) because we know that the very best athletic movements involve a sophisticated application of Force applied over a relatively short period of Time. With your nervous system "x-ray", we'll be able to design work-outs that strengthen the force, or time component of your nervous system, based on what you need.

It all sounds very sophisticated because it is! Unlike some other trainers, we don't promote one conditioning method over another (plyometrics, Olympic lifting or core training for example). Our secret is applying just the right training combination at just the right time in your training cycle. That's getting exactly what you need.

SPARTA Director Dr. Phil Wagner puts it this way, "What we're doing here at SPARTA is very unique and exciting to be a part of. Now, our athletes and the teams we work with can stop wasting their time and energy guessing what they need to improve performance or prevent injuries. We can determine exactly what they need, and then build the fastest, most effective way to get them where they want to go!"
