Steve's Bio Hello Club Members, My name is Steve Wheelock and I am happy to announce I have joined the Fitness Team at the Pineville Club. I moved to Flowers Plantation with my wife and two children from Western Massachusetts. I bring over 20 years of experience in Health and Fitness, most recently at the Canyon Ranch Health Resort in Lenox, MA. I hold a B.S. in Physical Education as well as Certifications through the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. My specialties are in Fitness Management, Group Teaching, and Personal Training for all levels, Senior Fitness, as well as Home/Business Gym design. I am happy to be here! I started in September and have been working hard to meet the needs and requests of the members. Starting in October I will be developing and instructing some new Group Fitness Classes. If you haven’t picked up this month’s schedule, please do so! From interval training, to a circuit training class, core training using physioballs, and stretch, there is something for everyone! I am also available for Personal Trainings sessions if you would prefer to meet one on one. If you are new to exercise, let me help you navigate the gym and learn how to use the equipment properly. Maybe you’ve been working out forever, but could use a new program to prevent a plateau or to challenge yourself both physically and mentally. I am here to motivate and help you on your journey! Please stop in and see me the next time you’re at the Club. I love what I do, and look forward to bringing you the programming and service that you deserve at the Pineville Club! Stay Healthy, Steve Wheelock

The goal of any sports specific training program is to improve your performance in the area that is needed. In some instances, it might be speed, in others, it might be endurance. Improved quickness is often a goal, as is improved power and explosiveness. What is not usually as important, even though it is often desired, is improved strength. Usually, the need is in explosiveness, but the misguided focus is on strength. And there is a big difference. Our program is built on two main principals. The first is the principal of specificity of training. We believe in training specifically for improvement in a given area as opposed to general training with the goal of overall improvement in general fitness levels of athletes. The second is quality training. We believe in short, intense workouts with maximum effort as opposed to quantity training where hours are spent training at low intensity levels. Usually time is a precious commodity for young athletes as they have to split their time between school, sports specific training, practice and what little social life they have. The quicker they can get their training done, the better, as long as performance does not suffer.
