The DiamondFit Approach to Sports Performance

Sports performance training builds strength, speed, agility, and endurance tailored to each athlete's needs. Our approach involves a complete athlete assessment to create a custom fitness program that aims to increase your performance across all sports. With a focus on safety and precision, we help athletes reach their peak to excel in their field.

Sports Performance Training in Raleigh

DiamondFit Performance trains athletes in Brier Creek, Raleigh and across the Triangle, including Durham, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest. Every athlete starts with a free assessment that measures how they move and how much power they produce. We build each program from those numbers and retest on the same equipment, so progress is measured the same way every time.

Training is built around each athlete's season. In-season sessions are lower in volume and scheduled around games and practices, so athletes keep building strength all the way through the season.

Why We Train Youth Athletes This Way

Strength training is the most effective way anyone has found to prevent injuries in young athletes. Two large reviews of the research land in the same place.

2 of Every 3 Injuries Prevented

Athletes who strength trained were injured about a third as often as those who didn't. Overuse injuries, the ones that build up over a season, were cut close to half. Stretching showed no meaningful protective effect at all. Citation: Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2014

42% Fewer Lower-Body Injuries

In athletes 21 and under. The biggest drop came from 30 to 60 minutes a week spread across two or three sessions. Once a week barely moved it. Citation: Meta-analysis of youth athletes, Frontiers in Physiology, 2017

Two to three days a week isn't a number we made up. It's the dose the research points to, and it's what we built the program around. Getting your athlete stronger is how we keep them on the field.

Strength & Speed Classes

Our main program. Coached group classes for strength and speed in one plan.

Strength training is age-appropriate and progresses with your athlete. It is a process, not a one-time placement. As we get to know them, we put each athlete in the right part of the program and keep advancing that plan as they grow.
