Youth/Amateur Athletes

They can be as young as 12 years old or young adults moving on the college/university or professional ranks. Training is based on the latest exercise science coupled with years of experience of proven results. Regardless of the age of the athlete, all are treated with the same level of value and intensity suitable to their developmental capabilities.

Holly Reuther – “I’ve been going to Richard Burr Fitness for the past 3 summers for off season training. Each year I return with confidence to my training camps as I see results in my strength and endurance by achieving new personal bests. Working with Richard and other trainers at RBF helps me to better myself every day by working through hockey specific workouts as well as being able to adapt to areas that will help me individually on and off the ice.”

 

Owen Weihs – “Richard Burr Fitness is an amazing place for athletes to improve themselves. The atmosphere of the gym really pushed me to challenge myself in many different aspects of becoming stronger. I always left knowing I was getting better every session. I’d highly recommend it to others if you have physical goals that want to be me!”

 

Carina McLennan – “Richard Burr Fitness has allowed me to grow comfortable in my body and has built my confidence on and off the field. The trainers have instilled a hardworking mentality within me and have created an awesome atmosphere and environment in the gym. Always pushing me to my best ability. The work they put into developing me in my off season has showed during my seasons with the Women’s South Dakota State Soccer Team, leading me to the accomplishments I have received!”

 

Dimitri Mattheos – “Richard Burr Fitness’ balanced and dynamic focus on training has helped me to become a more mobile skater on the ice, and as a player to the Oak Park Raiders, leading me to win a WHSHL Tier 2 Championship!”

 

Julia McLennan – “Richard Burr Fitness has been a huge part of my off ice training. The trainers have improved my physical strength, quickness and explosiveness on and off the ice, along with helping me return to play. They indirectly worked the muscles around my knee through different techniques to gain back my strength that i lost. The trainers have created an environment that allows me to push myself to become better and have fun while doing so.”

 

Jared Chappel – “The value that Richard Burr Fitness puts on every single one of their athletes makes the atmosphere feel like a family, and not just a place to go to work out. The specialized trainers do a great job on working on the little details of how to get stronger always and always incorporate new and fun exercises throughout the summer. I was confident that everything they asked of me and pushed me to do was making me stronger everyday. This made me more confident with my abilities to reach my personal goals!”
