Welcome to ROCKSOLID TRAINING, designed to empower young athletes and provide them with the guidance and support they need to excel in their sport. Our program offers three levels to cater to the unique needs of your athlete, ensuring a safe, educational, and enjoyable experience.

Why did Levi create ROCKSOLID'S program?


In today's fitness scene, young athletes hit the gym with gusto, just like the old days. But often, they focus too much on lifting heavy weights without paying attention to proper form – something I've been guilty of in high school until a family friend set me straight. Since 2006, I've been immersed in sports at various levels, from high school to semi-pro, even rubbing shoulders at NFL Combines. These experiences taught me a ton about muscle building, effective lifting, and more. Inspired by my mentor, I'm eager to share what I've learned. Yet, providing personal attention in big groups is tough. That's why Luke Smith and I have created a special program for high schoolers, especially those aiming for scholarships. With 25 years of combined experience, we've crafted a plan that's a perfect fit for young athletes on the rise.

Championship Level

This option is for the athlete who is looking to take their abilities to the next level. Perhaps your athlete is new to performance development. They will be grouped with athletes with similar abilities so our coaches can deliver a workout specific to your athletes starting point.

Is your athlete looking to participate in collegiate sports? Perhaps earn a scholarship? Your athlete will not only acquire the skills essential for peak performance in their sport but also cultivate lifelong habits promoting enduring health and wellness.


Each session is a 90-minute coach lead workout with a max capacity of 4 athletes per group. A ROCKSOLID coach leads group through very specific movements proven to build strength, power, and athletic ability.  

Educating athletes on proper nutrition is critical for their success and well being.  Every athlete has unique nutritional needs.  That's why we incorporate monthly
Nutrition Coaching Sessions with our athletes to properly educate them on how to properly fuel their bodies. We use our own method called Results Mapping created by our Registered Dietitian on staff. This method has been successful for numerous athletes wanting to improve their performance.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FORM

Prioritizing proper form isn't just about avoiding workout injuries; it's a cornerstone for your child's physical growth. Studies affirm that mastering correct form not only reduces injury risks but also minimizes chiropractor visits and accelerates recovery. The ROCKSOLID TRAINING program aims to ingrain proper form early on, honing in on precise muscle targeting for a well-rounded development, preventing weaknesses or instabilities in specific areas.
