Georgia Personal Training

Baseball Performance Training

At Georgia Personal Training Center, we specialize in Baseball Performance Training. Matt Lein is our lead trainer. He played baseball from the time he was 5 years old, until the time he was in his early twenties. Matt actually played youth baseball right here in the city of Roswell. He played at Roswell Area park. Matt began speed, strength and agility training when he was 13 years old. He worked his way into being one of the very best high school players in the state of Georgia. Matt went on to play college baseball at Wofford College. In his first year at Wofford, Matt was the number ranked third baseman in the country. He was named to the Collegiate Freshman All-American team. After college, Matt decided to purse his dream. He opened a gym in the Roswell area. The gym is open 24 hours, 7 days a week to members. Matt also opened a second business called Georgia Personal Training. That business is dedicated to providing the best personal training available in the area.

Georgia Personal Training provides one on one fitness training for customers of all ages. Our personal training clients come from all walks of life. We train business professionals, stay at home moms, college students and athletes of all ages. We offer one of the best sport specific fitness training programs available for baseball players. Our baseball clients range in age from 10 – 18. The majority of the players who come to us do so because they want to be more competitive. Many have dreams of being high school players, college players and ultimately professional baseball players.

 

 

We provide our athletes with the very best training techniques available for optimizing strength, speed, agility, core stability, rotational power, joint integrity, and injury prevention. Our training modalities will absolutely create faster 60 times, improved lateral quickness and agility, and unrivaled functional strength that directly translates to more bat speed and increased velocity. The workouts are tailored to each player’s specific needs. We consider all the factors when designing a program. Age, physical and mental maturity, physical build, athletic strengths and weaknesses, and the position(s) they play. Every workout has one purpose; to enhance a player’s performance on the diamond. The physical training of a baseball player is much different than that of other athletes. We are not trying to make body builders or linebackers here. Our workouts are nothing like high school lifting programs. GPT clients are trained in an intense but scientific manner, and experience the very same training utilized by today’s major league stars.

Take a look at the quote from Ryan Webb. He is currently playing for the University of Georgia. Ryan started with Matt as a younger player. He has worked hard and is now a pro prospect. Here is what Ryan said; “Matt is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with. My average velocity increased from 84-86 as a junior to 88-90 as a senior. I attribute this to the 4 months of intense training I did with Matt and GPT during the fall and winter. Everything we did was focused on increasing my velocity and strengthening my legs, core, and throwing shoulder. The workouts were unlike anything I’d ever done before. Very intense, but also fun. It was the first time in my life I could actually feel my body changing and getting stronger from one week to the next. When I threw my first bullpens in January I knew immediately the work we had done had made a huge impact. I threw more innings for Pope as a senior than in my previous two high school seasons combined, yet my body felt great all the way through the state championship. No injuries, much less pain in my lower back, and elbow. I honestly felt like I got stronger as the season went on.” – Ryan Webb

The GPT training facility is equipped with over $100,000 worth of state of the art commercial fitness equipment. Our athletes are exposed to a vast and ever changing variety of exercises. Workouts might include parachute sprints, sled pulls, tire flips, medicine ball throws, olympic lifting, intense plyometric routines, kettlebell training, rehabilitation exercises, and traditional weight lifting with fast twitch elements. In addition to the actual training, we also consult with our athletes regularly about their nutrition and supplements. We want our athletes as healthy and as strong as possible mentally and physically. Too often younger players are able to perform at a high level without following any sort of structure regarding the fuel they put into their bodies. You can get away with this as a kid, but the reality is it is holding you back and you don’t realize it. Adding a high level nutritional regimen to your training program will take your game to another level, and in this competitive environment anything that can give us an edge over our competition is hugely important. The world’s best athletes are scientific about everything they do; the way they eat, the way they sleep, how much water they drink, the vitamins and supplements they use. If we want to reach this level, we must do the same.

 

 

The final thing that we strive for is that our athletes have fun and enjoy their sessions. We want our players to look forward to the physical and mental challenge they will face in the gym. Facing adversity off the field prepares them for the adversity they will face on the field. The ultimate goal is to make them better athletes and better men. One of owner Matt Lein’s biggest assets is his desire and willingness to mentor and assist his players in all aspects of their careers. Players going through the recruiting process often turn to Matt for advice and counsel, and he welcomes the opportunity to help them reach their goals in any way possible. At GPT we truly provide a resource for growth in all areas of a player’s life. If you dream of one day playing in the major leagues, you must be willing to become a major league caliber athlete, and that process starts now at GPT.
