The SportsForce Difference:
At Norsemen & Valkyries Weightlifting, we focus on development, not ego lifting or pushing limits without the necessary technique or skills.
Every athlete follows a structured progression through the camp built on:
Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) principles
Sport specific demands
Individual experience
Proper technique and movement quality,
Expert coaching and demonstration.
Our program is based on science and experience, and reliably produces sustainable, long term results for individuals who apply themselves, and commit to our program.
This is the same approach used in high performance environments, adapted to developing athletes.
Testimonials:
“Joining the Norsemen & Valkyries Weightlifting Club was one of the most impactful decisions I made for my athletic development during high school.”
“Logan made it so I had a safe place to learn how to lift properly without judgement, and helpe me develop a passion for weightlifting and living a healthy lifestyle.”
“Thanks to our training I increased my vertical jump by 3 inches and added over 20 kilograms to my back squat over the summer, this helped me build a strong foundation that supported me through my NCAA D1 volleyball career.”
“My training at SportsForce was instrumental in helping me secure a University scholarship… when I arrived at school in the fall, I was one of the only athletes that could properly execute the strength and conditioning program we had.”
Program Streams:
1) Foundations of Strength & Conditioning
This program is designed for individuals with either no or limited previous training experience.

Gymnastics S&C is a stream meant to support gymnasts by improving their strength, power, posture, balance, and to help reduce the risk of injury within their sport.
