What separates Tread Athletics?

Unlike most training philosophies, we take holistic approach to strength, power, and velocity development.  We don’ t just evaluate and address strength and performance, but lifestyle factors, movement dysfunction, and nutritional habits as well.  Rather than fitting athletes into one cut and dry mold, we adapt our programming to address each athlete’s individual needs and goals.
