YOU Are Only As Strong As YOUR Weakest Link
At BPC we are about results! BIG RESULTS!! If you want the most out of your off-season don’t train under a program that is designed for your “Group”. Train with professionals that will design a training program specifically for you.
Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Bystol and Charles Poliquin have over 50 years combined experience-training athletes. The first step in developing speed, power, strength and agility is fixing the weak links in the human chain. Every athlete has weaknesses within their movement patterns. These weaknesses could be flexibility, muscular or structural, mechanical or imbalances of strength between muscle groups. These imbalances could be from a past injury or most likely from repetitive patterns within your sport. If these weaknesses are not addressed in the first phase of the athletes program, results will be limited and the risk of injury will actually be increased.
Structural Balance
All athletes entering the Bystol Performance Center will go through our world-renown Advanced Athletic Assessment. BPC’s exclusive testing process allows our professional coaches to evaluate an athlete’s abilities and identify any weaknesses or potential areas for injury. Power, speed, agility, strength, flexibility and body composition are all tested to give us a baseline of where the athlete is prior to beginning the program.
The data is then analyzed by our Certified P.I.C.P. Coaches and a personalized workout and nutrition program is designed. Strength and speed programs are frequently changed during the course of the program to create continuous stress and demand on the athlete’s muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones and nervous system.
BPC advanced assessment, superior program design, individual attention and top level coaches guarantees each and every athlete will be given the opportunity to reach their full athletic potential.
Training Program
The program begins with assessment and testing of upper and lower body strength, structural balance, a vertical jump, as well as a 12-point body fat analysis.

Phases can be also tailored to meet individual time frames
