Sean Neff's use of Sports Specific Conditioning in his workouts keeps his sessions both dynamic and fun. His main fitness belief is that the more fun a person has in their fitness regimen, the more they will continue to live a healthy and fit lifestyle. Before beginning each new program, Sean checks in to see what you love to do athletically (or have loved to do in the past) and then creates a customized program based on your favorite activities. Whether a client is getting ready for participation in a local sports league, getting back to fitness for the first time in years or preparing for competition, Sean uses the client's favorite and/or present athletic focus to develop a tremendously fulfilling and fun workout session. When training for a specific event or sport, Sean's program caters to the muscles most effective for success through plyometrics (exercises for explosive movement in speed, quickness, and agility) and a variety of other exercises to hone the individual client into the most effective athlete that she/he can be.  Whatever your goals may be, Sean has the program for you.

Sean describes how he approaches designing a fitness training program for your specific sport of interest.

SOCCER
"For the athlete focused on becoming the best soccer player that he or she can become I focus on both cardiovascular and muscular endurance to be able to thrive in the most competitive of leagues." With the amount of running (both distance and sprinting) along with the physical play on the field, there needs to be a focus on strength with a cardiovascular edge. Since skill level with the ball on your foot is so important within the game, many of the exercises include game type situations interspersed throughout: alternating shuttle runs with and without the ball; star jumps; push ups into sprinting to the ball to resemble recovering from a slide tackle; high speed moves to practice keeping the ball close; and many others to improve balance and dexterity. Strength, speed, quickness, balance, flexibility, agility and endurance are all on tap in this specific program. "You will find great improvement in your shot power, dribbling acuity, closing speed and much more."

BASKETBALL 
"Basketball players need a great mixture of strength, speed, stamina, leaping ability and lateral quickness to be highly effective on the court. In the basketball program we focus on all of these skills throughout each session. Working with plyometrics and flexibility holds a tremendous key to the overall explosiveness of the elite basketball player. Through improving your jumping ability both in overall height off the ground and quickness to the ball coming off the backboard we can make you a better rebounder. By using defensive slides and attention to ball movement through extensive endurance training against the ball handler we improve your defensive skill set. Working on shooting form throughout the session with varying levels of fatigue helps overall shot consistency and placement. Every drill is designed to make the most out of your own abilities and improve them to take you to the next level and beyond."

RUGBY 
"One of my favorite programs is the rugby program as I was able to lead my teams through the proverbial ringer throughout college. Because of the physicality of the game, along with the need for repetition of sprints throughout both set play and second phase, these sessions have a tremendous pace to them. Exercises combining speed, strength and stamina are a necessity in getting the serious rugby player to a greater level of fitness. Dropping to the ground and getting back up repeatedly can help recreate how physical the game is before taking off at a full sprint in a game type situation. Diving for loose balls can get you more comfortable with real game-play situations when it counts the most. Every exercise is specific to making you the best rugby player that you can be. Practice is necessary for teams to reach a cohesive level of chemistry and knowledge of game situations but not enough time is spent on overall conditioning. Extra sessions focused on you can make you the player that everybody points to before the game even begins."

FOOTBALL 
"In the football program we utilize exercises to get the most overall power out of the player. Not just strength, but a combination of strength with acceleration to create the most impressive hits, best blocks and strongest runs possible. Football is a tough sport and the toughness begins in training. Every session is tailored to the specific individual and to his (and sometimes her) specific position on the field. Offensive linemen are given much more strength training and footwork. Wide receivers are given more speed and agility work. Kickers are given more flexibility, leg strength and balance training. Practice becomes that much easier when you're in the kind of shape you need to be in before that first whistle even sounds. Through working with speed training and force within a short amount of time we give you the tools to be a better player on the field. Plyometric jump training, medicine ball work and extensive work on your stamina will benefit every player."

BASEBALL 
"There may be no sport in which the body goes from zero to sixty miles per hour in a split second more than baseball. Defensively, the baseball player must be at the ready and be able to make a play from a standstill in mere seconds. Because of this, flexibility is huge in the baseball program.  For both hitting and defense your range of motion is possibly even more important than your overall strength. In building strength for the baseball player we keep this in mind. The muscles of the core, lower back, glutes and upper legs are focused on much more so than in any other sport.  From this trunk region comes the power to turn on a ball much more quickly as it's hurtled towards you. For this strength we focus on plyometrics specifically to allow for greater strength without the unnecessary bulk that could hinder your range of motion. All kinds of jumping routines from every possible angle with plenty of stretching and sprint work helps the body get used to the natural pace of the game itself. In terms of throwing power we build shoulder strength with medicine ball work and various shoulder exercises using medium weights. For pitchers we pay special attention to the rotator cuff and specifically target these small muscles to strengthen and protect them from the natural motion of throwing the ball at high velocity over and over again."

GOLF 
"In order to be a more consistent golfer one must be in good physical shape. The stamina and flexibility needed to play eighteen holes effectively can be greatly increased through a golf specific strength program. Through focus on the core, back, forearms and trunk regions we are able to increase club head speed for longer shots, teach proper warm up and stretching routines before you play your eighteen (no more waiting until the third or fourth hole to finally feel comfortable hitting the ball), and help you maintain your center of gravity throughout your swing in order to be as consistent as possible. Even the average Sundays-only golfer can make the most out of his time on the course by cutting strokes one exercise at a time."

TENNIS 
"Agility, speed, power, flexibility and endurance all play their hands in the sport of tennis. With an extremely challenging individual sport, tennis players need a little bit of everything from the fitness world in order to reach their peak physical ability. Due to the intense starting and stopping on each point, sprinting is a very important part of the tennis regimen along with full body stretching. All too often leg and back muscles can be injured without proper preparation of the secondary quick twitch muscles used in more anaerobic movements like dashes to the net. Exercises utilizing the upper back, biceps, shoulders, legs, forearms and rotator cuff can help lead to stronger serves and shots while protecting the body from injury and the muscular imbalance which can come from specific repetition in practice. Hitting your stride on the court can be helped greatly by a full strength, sprinting, stamina and flexibility regimen."

SKIING 
"Living in Southern California is, indeed, wonderful in terms of the beautiful weather all year round.  From time to time, though, you just need to experience a little bit of snow. Many of the clients that come to me during ski season need a specific body tune-up for the slopes. I recommend a full month or two of training before heading out as the body is far from used to all of the pounding and quick changes needed to move down the mountain with precision and safety.  Leg strength is, of course, key in any skiing fitness regimen but we also focus on the muscles that protect the joints as well. Knees especially need to be focused upon before you take off down the hill with all kinds of quick movement decisions to be made. Hindu squats can be an impressive exercise to build those muscles around the knees while, at the same time, build leg strength and stamina as it is a more free flowing movement than a standard squat. Anaerobic conditioning is also given more focus with ski conditioning as well so that you can enjoy yourself for many more runs each time you head out to play in that funny cold white stuff!"

WRESTLING
"Anaerobic and pure power conditioning has a fantastic positive effect in any wrestling fitness regimen. The use of medicine ball throws, sprinting, and strength work to absolute failure can help give you the edge you need to always be on top of your game. Practice, practice, practice gives a great workout while learning proper technique and adding a wrestling specific fitness regimen can give you the added short burst energy to turn the tide in your matches, the added strength to reverse holds and the extra wind for those three-rounders that can feel like they're going on forever. Focus and dedication has always been the name of the game in wrestling and it’s up to you to do what you can to get the edge that you need."

"Body Inspired Fitness truly lives up to the name. After two kids and a few illnesses I have gained some unwanted pounds and was finding it hard to shift by myself. So I talked myself into trying their Boot Camp and discovered exercise again. During my Boot Camp one trainer stood out with his work ethic, so again with some talking to myself I started to work one on one with Sean - no joking the results started showing pretty quickly. Sean has the ability to tailor your work out just for you and because he has such a great personality you truly do not feel the time go by. I am now into my fourth week and enjoying the results - more energy (most organized house on my block now & shortest to do list), looser fitting clothes and very soon a closet of clothes that will look better on me than the hanger!!!!!!!!

So I would urge you to commit to a session with Sean and you will be so very glad you did. This is one investment with the best in the business returns."- Carole Cotter,  Pacific Palisades, Ca

"The time of the year had come for the annual entertainment basketball league to get into gear and I had been way to busy to get into decent shape for the last few months. The league is super competitive with plenty of former college players and even a former Olympian so I needed help ASAP. I found out from a colleague about Sean Neff's sports specific training program and gave him a call. The workouts were tough but I found myself getting not only my wind back, but my skill set was getting fine tuned as well. I was way ahead of the game conditioning wise when practice started, I was playing better defense than I had in years and I had the confidence in my shot that usually doesn't come until mid-season. I can't recommend Sean enough to anyone that not only needs to get in shape, but needs to get there with a purpose in mind."
- James Rivers, Hollywood, Ca

"Sean was co-captain of my rugby team in college and was able to help give me much more knowledge about the game throughout my time playing alongside him. It had been a few years since I had played and I was getting the itch again so I gave him a ring to see if he had any kind of program to get me back into playing shape quickly. Not only was I diesel for hitting the rugby pitch but Sean gave me a program that got me focused on the game itself in addition to the changes in my stamina, strength and flexibility. My biggest concern was my flexibility because of the greater possibility for injury as we age. I've gotten older and the flexibility that I have now is amazing!!! He really listens to the needs of the individual. I can barely tell the difference between my glory days then and these 'NEW' glory days where nobody can stop me again!"- Wade Leath, Clearwater, Fl

"My husband and I like to get up to Colorado a couple of times a winter to hit the slopes. We both are in pretty good shape as we work out at least three times a week and hike on the weekends. Even with all of our normal workouts, though, we found that we could barely walk every time that we came back from one of our trips. We were just so sore from hitting different muscles than we were used to. That's when we found Sean Neff and his specific fitness regimens for all sports. He showed us how our regular routines weren't hitting the muscles that were being used when skiing and showed us step by step how to improve. He also has made sure that we are super limber for our trips as well which is one area that we have never paid as much attention to. We have always generally waited until we were sore to stretch. We are so happy to not be walking like we're one hundred years old now every time that we get back into town! Thank you Sean!!!"
- Kayla Jefferies, Santa Monica, Ca

"Trust is key for me when I'm working with a trainer. Will he get to know the ups and downs of my body injury wise (too many to count). Will he give me a tailored workout or a cookie cutter routine that he gives everybody else? I am a competitive kayaker who travels to competitions all over the country. I stay in great shape but am always looking for an edge. I heard about Sean Neff from an acquaintance that was training for a soccer league and thought I'd give him a try. From the very first meeting he showed his concern for my previous injuries and told me how he would work around them to build strength and get my body back to center from all of the muscular imbalances caused by the injuries themselves. I knew immediately that I may have finally found someone who knew what he was talking about and his sessions proved the point. He took me to the next level quickly in my overall fitness and always threw in exercises specific to the muscles I use continually in my sport. Awesome! I don't know if I can explain him in one word any better than that."
