Youth Athlete Training
Built for athletes ages 10–18 who want to get faster, stronger, and more explosive. Each session blends sprint mechanics, strength training, jumping, and agility work — all scaled to age and ability.
- Sprint mechanics, acceleration, and max velocity development
- Strength training and Olympic lifting scaled to age
- Jumping and plyometric training for explosive power
- Performance tracking so athletes and parents see real progress
- Every session coached — no wandering the gym unsupervised
Small Group Personal Training
The best of both worlds — personal coaching with the energy of a small group. You train with no more than 4 people, every session is coached, and your program is built around your goals. Strength, mobility, or training like an athlete again — we've got you.
- Groups of 4 or fewer — you're never lost in a crowd
- Every session personally coached with expert technique feedback
- Programming tailored to your specific goals and fitness level
- The accountability and community that keeps you showing up
- Results of personal training at a fraction of the cost
Speed Training
Speed separates good athletes from great ones. Our Speed Training program is built to help athletes get faster where it matters most — on the field and court. Sprint mechanics, acceleration, explosive first steps, and change of direction, all coached and tracked.
- Sprint mechanics and acceleration for a faster first step
- Max velocity development using timing gates and fly runs
- Plyometrics and agility drills for game-speed movement
- Perfect complement to school lifting programs
- Measurable progress tracked every session

"We have 3 teen girls (soccer players) who train at Wilmington Strength 2 days a week. We've seen very evident gains in strength, speed and agility, impacting their game dramatically. The confidence boost this training gives young athletes is second to none!"
"My 14 yr old daughter had no prior experience with weight lifting outside of volleyball. After 30 days her improvements were incredible. She was tested on sprinting, vertical jumps, pull ups — giving her a baseline and building from there."
"Best gym and trainers in Wilmington. As a Doctor of Chiropractic I'm very impressed with their knowledge of anatomy. Their focus on form and individualized training programs is awesome. My lean muscle mass has improved, my body fat is down, and I feel great!"
"I could not be more grateful for the experience I had at Wilmington Strength. I went from being scared of lifting due to a college injury to finding my love for the gym all over again. Truly a great gym with an amazing group of coaches."
"I can't recommend Wilmington Strength enough, especially Matt! Everything is tailored specifically to you — no cookie-cutter routines. What really separates Matt from other trainers is how much he genuinely cares. You can tell he's passionate about what he does."
"Wilmington Strength is one of my favorite gyms I have ever been to. I've been lifting for over ten years and have worked under many coaches. Matt not only has exceptional coaching skills but people skills as well."
