ATHLETIC TRAINING
Athletic Training Classes are held in a small group format (no more than 8 people), and focus on developing the skills that most translate to Sports and Athletic Performance: Speed, Power, Agility, Coordination, and Strength.
​
Principles of Athletic Training:
-
Perfect Technique

Speed is the priority
-
Tired is the enemy
-
Quality > Quantity
-
5 Seconds MAX Effort / 55 seconds Rest

Speed Work is Timed, Recorded, and Published
​
Our focus is to develop Top Speed and Jumping ability. Everything we do is Maximum Effort, with the standard being 5 seconds of maximum work followed by 55 seconds of rest.

Meet Sean
Hi, I’m Sean Rafferty. I’m a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Sports Performance Specialist through NASM. Health and Fitness has been one of my greatest passions for over 15 years now, and I’ve made it my mission to extend my knowledge to others to help them reach their fitness goals.
I specialize sports and athletic training as well as building personalized exercise programs for any and all fitness goals. My philosophy is to train for performance and improved movement quality, as doing so provides the necessary foundation for improving ones physical health. I prefer to incorporate a mix of strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, mobility, speed, power, flexibility, and active recovery, however each program will be unique to one’s goals and abilities.
I am originally from Southern California. I attended college at Arizona State University, and earned a Masters in Education at University of San Diego. From 2012 to 2018 I travelled the country as a Professional Wrestler, where I performed as a blindfolded ninja named Joe Heiken (Hi-Ken). I then served in the United States Army from 2019 to 2023, and now live in Camdenton, MO with my wife and kids.
I look forward to working with you!
Sean
