Speed & Agility at AIM
Zane Kelly is now offering Speed and Agility classes.
- Maximize your sports performance
- Improve your athletic game
- Increase your physical abilities
- Minimize your risk of injury
Why should my child attend?
To excel in the sport they love to play, they need to train. Between the ages of 8-11, your child should be learning athletic skills and increasing their abilities. In the AIM class, they’ll develop proper running techniques, athletic coordination, balance, relative strength, and muscular movement patterns. Between the ages of 12-14, your young athlete should now be focusing on improving, refining and ingraining. Repeated practice of the above skills leads to permanent and positive change and becoming a better athlete.
Details:
Speed and Agility classes are offered at the Athletes In Motion training center in Beaverton, OR on Wednesdays and Sundays. $15 per class/$10 with a monthly membership.

The New CORE Generation
Written by Joshua O'Gorman
As an Intern at AIM, my first project has been to reestablish and evolve the core programs. This evolution of the core programs is directly beneficial to our athletes by ways of less impact on lower spine and proper initiation of the abdominal muscles. The new exercises all have a similarity in that they try and emphasize a "neutral spine" which creates less impact on an already overused spine.
With the amount of research conducted by Zane and passed on to myself, we have learned that a simple crunch can put upwards to 760lbs of pressure on the lower spine. That amount of weight is unnecessary and can be eliminated with proper programming.
The new programs at AIM offer variations of planks, TRX Suspension Trainers, and fulcrum sliding movements. The use of stabilization methods work the abs and surrounding core muscles more effectively, more functionally, and without impact.
These programs containing functional movements will not only shred your stomach, they'll get you transferring more power from your lower body to your upper body when you compete.

Sports Performance Training for Youth Athletes
In our last newsletter we shared with you the story of how Zane Kelly founded Athletes In Motion. His first year training professional baseball players was exciting, not only because he was able to combine his two passions - baseball and strength & conditioning - but also because he was getting great feedback which confirmed he was doing the right thing.
But professional athletes weren't the only ones seeking Zane's training expertise. During this time, Zane was working out of Sunset Athletic Club and came across dozens of youth athletes that had the same drive to succeed in the sport they loved to play.
In 2008, Zane created a new program called the AIM Class, which targeted youth athletes. Between the ages of 8 and 14, kids are starting to become more competitive and serious about excelling in sports. They are also battling their own bodies, which are constantly changing and growing. Zane recognized that this age group had unique challenges and required a special type of program.
The AIM Class works on overall athleticism and skill. The program is designed to maximize physical ability while minimizing risk of injury. In the AIM Class, kids work to develop proper running techniques, athletic coordination, balance, relative strength, and muscular movement patterns.
As kids get a little older, the focus shifts from learning basic athletic skills to perfecting these skills. Repeated practice leads to permanent and positive changes and mastering these skills creates a better athlete.
Whether it's professional athletes wanting to improve and extend their career, collegiate players looking to become pro's, high schoolers with their sights set on a D1 scholarship, or youth athletes who are still honing their skills and developing... the theme is clear. Dedicated, driven, and hard-working athletes seek out and train with Athletes In Motion because they know hard work pays off and Zane's programs deliver what they are looking for.
