About EFS (About Chris Morton)

More than any other factor, strength & conditioning programs have drastically changed the athletic world in recent years by increasing athletes’ strength, speed, flexibility, and endurance.

Strength and conditioning is different than weight training. The goal of strength & conditioning is to improve an athlete’s overall performance, rather than simply strength. For example, in addition to weight lifting programs, strength and conditioning integrates speed and quickness drills and dynamic mobility exercises. Strength and conditioning programs are based on advanced scientific research that uses techniques such as periodization phases and plyometric training.

As a result of employing scientifically proven training techniques, the athletes that Extreme Fitness & Sport s (EFS) works with achieve their maximum physical potential improving in the areas of:

• Overall strength
• Speed and acceleration
• Explosiveness and neuro-reactiveness
• Flexibility and dynamic mobility
• Endurance
• Recovery time

Because the athletes that EFS trains achieve a higher level of physical fitness, they perform more efficiently and with a decreased risk of injuries.
