Champlin, MN - November 23, 2011 - Velocity Sports Performance, specializing in advanced sports performance training for athletes of all ages and skill levels, today announced the grand opening of its newest location in partnership with M1 Volleyball in Bloomington, MN. Located at 1701 W 94th Street, Suite 275, Bloomington is the latest of over 65 facilities to open nationwide, making Velocity Sports Performance one of the fastest growing sports performance franchises in the country. Classes will officially begin on Monday, November 28th.
Velocity Sports Performance defines sports performance training and has built a business devoted to training athletes in every sport, at all ages and all skill levels. Athletes of any caliber can realize their potential through advanced training programs, scientifically designed to maximize human sports performance. Velocity Sports Performance offers athletes from age eight through adult, semi-private and team-based sports performance training designed to help them increase speed, power and agility, while reducing the risk of sports-related injuries.
At Velocity Sports Performance only the best coaches are hired. Velocity Sports Performance requires its coaches to have a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science or a related field, and to hold a current certification through a nationally accredited organization such as the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). Additionally, training in small groups allows more personal one-on-one attention between coach and athlete, which ensures that each athlete will be able to get the instructions they need in order to improve.
Velocity Sports Performance enjoys strategic relationships with nationally respected organizations such as Under Armour, Combine360, and Gatorade. The company also offers worldwide franchise opportunities and provides world-class franchise training and ongoing support.
"I'm thrilled to bring a Velocity Sports Performance training center to Bloomington," said Chris Hunt, Center Director. "We know Velocity Sports Performance will help local sports enthusiasts develop a competitive edge with regards to speed, agility and strength."
"Until now, there was an underserved market in this area in terms of age-appropriate performance training for younger athletes." says Nate Michalowski, Sports Performance Director. "It used to be that sports performance training programs were only available to professional and collegiate athletes, but today, athletes start training earlier and preparing to meet their dreams of playing elite sports. Velocity Sports Performance programs are specifically designed to give kids a foundation for reaching their greatest athletic potential in a safe and supervised environment, while putting the 'fun' back into their activities. Meanwhile, parents will see their kids' self confidence grow."
In addition to our Youth and Developmental Programs, Velocity Sports Performance offers an Adult Fitness program. Our Adult Program sessions are designed for active adults looking for a challenging training program. The Adult program is designed to actively challenge effort and coordination with 60 minute movement-based sessions. No two sessions are alike, and all are fun, fast-paced, and educational, which is unique compared to a traditional gym-based workout. The result is an increase in overall fitness as well as improved metabolism, body composition, and exercise technique.

Jake Locker, the 8th overall pick (Tennessee Titans), Ryan Kerrigan the 16th overall pick (Washington Redskins) and Nate Solder (New England Patriots) round out the 1st round draft class, all of whom trained with coach Ken Vick and his Velocity Sports Performance staff in the state-of-the art facilites in Orange County, CA.
Ryan Kerrigan the 16th overall pick by the Washington Redskins, said of his experience with Velocity Sports Performance, “Velocity has an excellent track record with guys going through the combine, you look at Clay Matthews, Donald Brown, guys like that – it really stood out in my mind as a place I wanted to train. They helped me prepare not only physically but mentally and I feel like I’m more prepared than ever to perform at my best.”
Nate Solder, the 17th overall selection chosen by the New England Patriots, shared why he trained with Velocity, “I chose Velocity Sports Performance to do my training because of coach Ken Vick first of all, I spoke with him and he was so knowledgeable that I knew this was the place to be.”
