Forever Strong Training Center

Nothing better than seeing our College level athletes finding success after a summer of hard work. Way to go Syd and Lindsey!! #Strong Body Strong Mind

We had a great week and this was the final session of the week looking for new highs on cleans. The kids produced some great results moving closer to their goals and future wins! Great job everyone!

Wanted to give a HUGE shoutout to the many in-season athletes that we have training during the school year, both those shown in the pictures and those that aren’t (sorry)! These athletes have very demanding schedules and show true dedication to still find time to get their training in! Keep up the great work!!

This shoutout goes to a guy that always competes to be the hardest worker in the room and never runs away from a challenge! Brock Parker is a collegiate wrestler from Loras College that joined us this summer for some serious training! During his time, he blew his old numbers out of the water! His squat increased by 50 lbs, his bench increased by 55 lbs, and his clean increased by 50 lbs as well! He not only became much stronger, but has become a lot more fluent and explosive with his movements! Brock, congratulations on the great progress you have made and good luck on your up coming season! Great work!

His 3-way total has increased by 245 lbs, his vertical has increased by 6.5 inches, pro-agility has went down by 0.34 seconds, and his standing long jump has increased by nearly 10 inches! Not only this, but his confidence, determination, and work ethic are a night and day difference! Tyler, congratulations on your growth and keep up the great work! This is only the beginning for you!

Help us in congratulating Carson for surpassing the big goals that he sets for himself! Carson, your constant hard work and drive continues to pay off and you should be very proud of yourself!

Our first shout out goes to Dakota Swanson from Winterset! During his short time with us so far, he has not only increased his 3-way total by 200 lbs, but he is now one of the quickest and most explosive athletes on his team, competing with the fastest players! His consistent hard work and dedication is paying off, and this is only the beginning! Great work Dakota, keep it up!

#StrongBody #StrongMind

This week was our first official testing week of the summer and what a testing week it was! There wasn’t one athlete that didn’t have a personal best! Even though there have been obstacles and changes made bec of the recent pandemic, these athletes continue to work their butts off and continue to improve themselves in all aspects! Stay tuned for highlights!

#StrongBody #StrongMind

A great example of how consistent hard work and dedication truly pays off! Listen to the podcast and you will hear the same message preached to our athletes! Success is a long, hard road; if you have the right mind set and work ethic, it will all pay off in the long run!

Ava Carder is an extremely hard working girl that deserves some recognition on her accomplishments! She is someone who you never hear brag, so here’s a well deserved congratulations! As she started, her 3-way total was 200 lbs, but now it is over 400 lbs! Her pro-agility has improved from 5.01 sec to 4.71 sec!
Her standing long jump has went from 79” to 85” and her vertical has improved by over 3”!

Last summer, it was a challenge for Ava to push a empty sled 20 yards and now she adds 115 lbs of extra weight to the sled for her 3 sets of 20 yards! Most important, last spring, in her first indoor track meet she ran a personal best in her 800 meter run. She now shows great confidence, strength, power and speed! What more could an athlete ask for!?

Ava, you are doing an amazing job! Keep up the hard work!

Today marked the 1 year anniversary of starting with us for Owen! To say that he is a completely different athlete than what he was a year ago, both mentally and physically, would be an understatement! To give an idea from a statistical standpoint, Owen has increased his 3-way total from 360 lbs to 645 lbs (Squat from 135 to 300, Bench from 125 to 185, and Clean from 100 to 160), his vertical has increased from 24” to 29.5”, his broad jump has increased from 84” to 105”, and his pro-agility has improved from 4.52 seconds to 4.11 seconds! More importantly, Owen has developed a work ethic and a mentality to push himself beyond his limits that is matched by very few! Owen, congratulations on all of your improvements and all of the improvements yet to come! Your consistency and determination continues to pay off! You should be very proud; keep up the great work and setting an example in the gym for others!

Awesome to see familiar and new faces alike, back in the gym working their butts off! There are only a few spots left available for training; so we are on a first come, first serve basis! Please feel free to comment or share this to anyone that may be in search of a safe, controlled, and clean place to train!

#StrongBody #StrongMind

Just a reminder — How we are keeping things SAFE:

1) Every person has their Temp checked as they arrive!!!
2) Every person washes hands as they arrive
3) Only one person allowed in each Power Rack
4) Hand Sanitizer spread throughout the Gym.
5) Social Distancing staying well below 50 percent of our capacity.
6) EVERY piece of equipment that is used is cleaned and sanitized before the next group is allowed into the gym.
7) There is 30 minutes between every session.
8. There is no acitivity that requires a partner or a spotter
9) As they finish they clean their hands and move on. We clean all the equipment and then we waive in the new group.

This has required us to nearly triple the sessions that we are offering for a similar number of athletes but it is working!! . #Keeping it Safe

The GYM will be closed Memorial Day!! Have a great WEEKEND!!!!!

Quarantine Workout #36 (5/14/20)

#StrongBody #StrongMind

We will begin training May 15th, 2020. The Governor of Iowa has given all of us Rules to follow which we already have in place. She asked that we run only at 50% capacity we plan to hold ours to 40% - We will cap all training sessions to 15 kids.. We will open up more sessions to offer the greatest amount of training time possible... If you are ready to get back into the gym let us know as soon as possible.. Our training spots are filling up fast.. #StrongBody #StrongMind

Rules -

No use of water fountain - bring your own water bottle.

Bring your shoes in for a workout nothing will be allowed to be worn in.

We will waive in all people to come into the building only after the last session has ended and we have cleaned all equipment.

Nobody should be at the gym with a temp of 100.5 or higher. - We soon will have ability to check all people.

Hand disinfectant will be at the gym use it often.

At end of each workout every piece of equipment will be cleaned.

Only 1 person will be allowed on Power Racks at a time. While doing other drills we will maintain 6' distance rules.

There will be sign posted reminding everyone of the required actions.

Our goal is to provide exceptional training but our first concern is to do it as safely as possible. If you have any other suggestions please call me and let me hear your thoughts.
