Executive Summary
Problem and Purpose
Velocity Sports Performance changed locations in early 2013. Te new location ofers new op-
portunities to increase clientele. Currently, VSP ofers classes to children in the afernoon and to
adults in the early morning and evening. In order to guarantee proftability, VSP needs to in-
crease its adult clientele during daytime hours.
Conclusions
Analysis of the Northern Utah County ftness industry led to the conclusion that Velocity Sports
Performance has the potential to increase its clientele by focusing on three groups:

Overweight men and women in Northern Utah County or within a 10 mile radius of the
new facility.
Parents of current VSP child-athlete members with a particular focus on mothers

Recreationally competitive athletes
Recommendations
Afer careful consideration of each potential publics demographic data, personal interests and
list of infuencers the following are recommended ways to reach them.
A Get Fit event based on the hit show Te Biggest Loser
Booths at the Womens Expo and the Mens Expo

Introduction
Introduction
You, Velocity Sports Performance (VSP), stated in an email that your goal is to create a solid,
income generating foundation at the new facility with adult clients who consistently come/pay
month-to-month. Tis section explores the local gym industry, the VSP business model and po-
tential clients and their work out habits. Te results of two focus groups are also included.
Velocity Sports Performance Situation
Currently, VSPs main clientele includes children age 8 to 19with a particular focus on high
school athletes looking to excel or move up to the college level and pre-teen children looking to
improve so they can play on high school teams.
According to video endorsements on the VSP website parents feel positively toward VSP
because the coaches are highly qualifed. Satisfed students are used in marketing to encourage
others to join. Te majority of endorsements are provided by children.
Here is an example of what student athletes are saying:
Ive been coming to Velocity Sports Performance for their sports training program for close
to two months now. Tings like prehab and working the hips and hamstrings were new to a vol-
leyball player like me. By working the right muscles and learning the correct techniques, I was
able to expand my knowledge of injury prevention. Tis program is great, and I highly recom-
mend it to younger athletes. - Taeko
Here is an example of what adults are saying:
I recently moved back to Utah afer living in California for a year and had been going to
Team Quest in Temecula, California for MMA. When I checked out gyms in Utah County &
South Salt Lake County, I decided to check out Velocity Sports Performance. Although it is NOT
an MMA gym, the work outs are intense. -Jesse
VSP has been recognized for their knowledgeable and efective coaching staf and their ef-
fective workouts which build ability and confdence in their clients. Teir limited hours of avail-
ability for working adults are an opportunity for improvement. Te following review illustrates
the point that fnding a convenient time to work out at VSP during the day is a typical problem
for most adults with jobs. Jess continued, I really enjoy coming to Velocity, but cant wait for a
more fexible schedule because right now, its either early, late or during lunch. I highly recom-
mend it.

Exercise Statistics
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 18% of people over the age of 15 living in Utah are
likely to exercise dailythats almost 65,000 people in Utah County (2010 census). Te num-
ber of participants in the national study make the results generally applicable across the United
States, and therefore to potential VSP customers living in Northern Utah County.
Te BLS also noted that people with higher levels of education are more likely to participate
in sports and exercise than their less educated counterparts. Tose with a bachelors degree over
the age of 25 are twice as likely to exercise daily as those with a high school diploma or less.
Research
Among those surveyed by the BLS, men were as likely as women to exercise alone. Women
were more likely to engage in sports activity with family, and men were more likely to engage
with friends. In terms of work out duration, the majority of those surveyed, 29%, exercise for 30
to 59 minutes. However, this is followed closely by 25% of those surveyed preferring a time peri-
od of sixty to ninety minutes.
Research
10 11
Among those 15 and older, walking was the most popular exercise with 30% participating.
Tis was followed by weightlifing and using cardiovascular equipment. Men were slightly more
likely than women to exercise daily. However, work out activity preferences difered greatly with
men preferring activities like football, basketball and soccer and women dominating exercises
like yoga and aerobics. Tis is relevant to VSP, in that it validates some current business practic-
es, while exposing other ftness opportunities for other demographic groups.
Research
Activity preference also varies by age. Basketball, football, soccer and baseball were over-
whelmingly preferred by those under 24, while running, hiking and weightlifing are dominated
by the 25 to 54 crowd. Tose over age 55 were the most predominant at walking and golf. Rac-
quet sports were equal among all age groups. Tese age trends illustrate opportunities for adults
in the area of basic ftness without reference to a specifc sport.
Making time to exercise can be a challenge for working adults age 25 to 45. Te following chart
illustrates the hours working adults prefer to exercise. Tis chart is especially relevant to VSP
which is trying to expand hours for its adult clientele. As shown, working adults prefer to work
out early morning before work, around 6 a.m., and afer regular work hours between 4 and 8
p.m. Tis could be a potential threat to VSPs goal to increase membership and class attendance
during the work day.
Overweight Adults in Utah
As shown by the chart below, the overweight population in Utah has continually increased over
the last decade. Tis population needs to get ft and they need help to do it. Tis represents a
signifcant opportunity to VSP and a currently untapped market. Tis group of people mainly
consists of men over the age of 25 who live in Utah County. Tey are interested in losing weight
for health reasons and appearance.
Research
12 13
Women
A survey of 300 women between the ages of 18 and 60 conducted by research gian SurveyMon-
key illustrated the majority (37%) said they exercise one to two days a week (survey monkey).
Tirty percent said they worked out three to four times a week. Of those surveyed, nearly half
said they preferred to exercise outside. Only 32% are current gym members. Te most popular
exercise activity was walking.
Tose who attended ftness classes had a variety of preferences. Te following word cloud
illustrates class preferences in terms of sizethe bigger the word, the more popular the class.

Tere are approximately 156,000 women living in Utah County over the age of 19. Tis
large group is mostly untapped by VSP and presents an opportunity for business growth because
of their daytime availability and their desire to look good.
Research
Communication Environment
VSP has Facebook and Twitter accounts. However, both are extremely underutilized for the
American Fork location. Tere is a lot of opportunity for connecting on a local level through
social media. Corporate VSP has a large YouTube data-base with the highest amount of views
(31,709) going to a video about NFL athletes training at VSP. Teir biggest target for YouTube is
defnitely current athletesspecifcally football players. Te American Fork VSP does not have
its own YouTube presence.
Te New York location is a good example of how to run a local VSP social media cam-
paign. Teir use of a gym-specifc app, in addition to social media use, is a great model for the
American Fork gym. Golds Gym has a Provo Facebook page with a bit more engagement and
a series of workout videos on YouTube that actually dont seem to be as successful as the VSP
channel. Additionally, the link for the VSP, Lehi locations website is broken. It would be helpful
to repair the 404 error and redirect any old Lehi queries to the new location.
Industry Competition
One of the challenges for VSP is potential competition with other local gyms and ftness trainers.
Places like Cross Fit and Golds Gym are visible and accessible because of multiple locations.
Cross Fit
Cross Fit describes its strength and conditioning program as constantly varied, high intensity,
functional movement.Workouts are typically short20 minutes or lessand intense, demand-
ing all-out physical exertion. Tey combine movements such as sprinting, rowing, jumping rope,
climbing rope, fipping tires, weightlifing, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exer-
cises; equipment used includes barbells, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettle bells,
medicine balls, and boxes for box jumps.
Tese elements are mixed in numerous combinations to form prescribed Workouts of the
Day or WODs. Hour-long classes at afliated gyms, or boxes, typically include a warm-up, a
skill development segment, the high-intensity WOD, and a period of individual or group stretch-
ing. Performance on each WOD is ofen scored and/or ranked to encourage competition and to
track individual progress. Some afliates ofer additional classes, such as Olympic weightlifing,
which are not centered around a WOD.
Due to the nature of most of the workouts, particularly the tendency to put a focus on com-
pleting circuits as fast as possible, proper exercise form can be ignored. When that happens, inju-
ry becomes extremely likely. Anecdotally, it seems like a lot of the Cross Fit participants sufer
signifcantly more injuries than most weightlifers.
Research
14 15
Another concern is the recommendation that people perform the WODs posted on the main
Cross Fit website on a regular basis unsupervised, despite individual ftness level. Some boxes
dont advocate that practice, and instead create custom scaled programming for each individual.
However, custom work outs are not approved by corporate Cross Fit.
Lastly, there seems to be a serious cult attitude surrounding some areas of Cross Fit. Te
trainer that runs a local box has other education and certifcation but confessed to needing to be
discreet about any modifcations or scaling he uses, because the corporate ofce comes down on
trainers who have voiced concerns about the program in the past. One person even described
their experiences with Cross Fit by calling it the Scientology of ftness.
Te largest problems with Cross Fit seem to stem primarily from the capabilities, or lack
thereof, of the trainers at the facility you attend. Unless youre already at a fairly high level of
ftness, attempting to follow the Cross Fit program straight of the main website without having
any guidance by a certifed trainer seems dangerous at best. Cross Fits one-size-fts-all approach
greatly difers from VSPs careful attention to each client. Te cost of an unlimited membership
is $100 per month, compared to $65 at VSP. Overall, VSP provides a safer workout out at a better
price.
Personal Training
While there are several benefts to getting a personal trainer, the cost is still much higher than
VSP workouts. However, as VSP uses a coaching model clients are privy to many of the advan-
tages associated with a personal trainer without the limits.
Pros of Hiring a Fitness Trainer
Te most obvious beneft gained from hiring a personal ftness trainer is the trainers specifc
knowledge and expertise about health, ftness, nutrition and mental well-being. However, it may
be a challenge to fnd a personal ftness trainer that is well-versed in all of the aspects associated
with good health. Personal ftness trainers are just like any other service-oriented profession (i.e.
real estate agent, doctor, accountant etc.); it is typical to cycle through a few until the ideal train-
er is found. A trainer will be able to provide expert knowledge related specifcally to each specifc
body type and each individuals ftness goals.
A personal ftness trainer will be able to maximize results and minimize workout. A personal
trainer will be able to periodically modify workout routines to ensure a continual state of devel-
opment. Personal trainers are also great a motivating clients and holding them accountable.
Cons of Hiring a Fitness Trainer
One of the disadvantages associated with personal trainers is the cost of hiring one. Most con-
Research Research
sumers perceive value and money as one. In order to fnd a personal ftness trainer that is qual-
ifed, knowledgeable in a large number of ftness and health topics, and someone consumers
feel comfortable with, they are going to have to make a fnancial investment. In this case people
believe they get what they pay for.
Another concern with hiring a personal ftness trainer is the difculty in accurately evaluat-
ing their level of knowledge, dedication and personal commitment afer one meeting. Tat being
said, it is a good idea to ask each potential personal trainer for a list of references including indi-
viduals they have train currently and in the past.
One reason for this level of caution is that there is an incredibly high turnover rate among ft-
ness trainers. In addition, many ftness trainers have no more than an average level of knowledge
regarding the human body and the specifcs of how it actually functions. Just because a ftness
trainer is certifed does not mean that they are competent in the feld of health and ftness. How-
ever, as VSP only highers credentialed coaches with extensive education and experience, cons
associated with trainers are not a concern.
Focus Groups
Part of our research to determine the current situation with VSP potential clients included two
focus groups. Women with young children under the age of thirty comprised the frst group.
Group two consisted of employees from the local company Orange Soda. Te following are
themes and suggestions covered by the focus group subjects.
Group 1 Women under 30 with children
Going with someone makes a diference
Time commitment prevents them from going, but it also depends on the activity
Dont want to pay the gym fee, might not use it, costs nothing to workout at home, fear of the
unknown
Women size each other up, uncomfortable with the environment - what to wear, self-con-
scious
Dont want to take kids to a gym babysitter, fear of not knowing who watches your kids
Teres not a sport they would train for - general ftness is more important
Morning times are best, before the day starts; itd be nice to exercise with your kids - no other
place does that
Medical facts about workouts for new mothers
Month-to-month membership is better than annual membership contract
Zumba has challenges for each time you go; encourages you, targeted to women (Zumba also
16 17
Research Research
includes recipes to eat healthier)
Ideal price for gym membership - around $20 per month
Summary: For VSP this means that women with young children are interested in working out
only if it is convenient to them and their childcare needs. As they dont generally have a sport
they train for, they are interested in help with general ftness needs and getting back their pre-ba-
by body. However, they are self-conscious about working out around others who are ft.
Group 2 Orange Soda employees
Currently part-time employees pay $20 per month for a Golds Gym membership; full-time
employees pay $9. Te amount is taken directly out of the employees paycheck so most dont
even realize that they are paying it.
Focus group participants give exercise a high priority and use it as an activity to socialize with
friends and co-workers. Men usually workout three to six times each week, women, two to three
times per week.
All focus group participants workout at Golds Gym and one person works out at a class at
school.
Tey go to Golds because of convenience (proximity), friends, and work discount. It is the
best option in the area.
Men use weights as their primary method of exercise. One participant said 75% of his work
out is lifing.
Men also perform cross-ft/cardio, heavy training and plyometrics exercises.
Men feel that cardio takes too long but it is the most common method of exercise for women.
Personal motivations for participants include increased strength and low body fat.
Participants have recently participated in a company health competition for a t-shirt and
medal. A group of participants have a competition with friends to receive a cash prize.
Participants havent had good experiences with personal trainers in the past.
Tey feel that it would be just as efective to research what to do online and workout with a
friend of similar ability.
One participant said that he would be interested in working with a personal trainer if the pro-
grams were designed for specifc sports or to get specifc results.
Tey would also like the trainer to help with diet tips and guidelines.
Women are more open to receiving instruction from a personal trainer (preferably also a
woman) and believes it would help them be more accountable.
Most were not familiar with VSP and are not sure what they do.
Tey believe their work outs are similar to Cross Fit. Some like the group format of VSP be-
cause it would push them to work harder. Others are more recreational gym-ers and dont fnd it
appealing to have a personal trainer.
Te most convenient and efective time to work out for full-time employees is lunch time, and
they limit their workout to one hour. Some would like to exercise longer. Part-time employees
usually attend the gym afer work.
Many dont like Golds Gym because it is so busy and too many people work out there. Some
dont mind the crowds but just want to be able to do their work out without others getting in the
way.
Positives about Golds Gym identifed by participants include high quality equipment (i.e.
treadmills and open space), cardio cinema and company discounted price.
An ideal gym for participants would include: cross-ft equipment, cables, and large amounts
of equipment (free weights and machines) so that there isnt a wait, and open areas not taken by
classes for alternative workouts.
Participants would prefer having free weights and machines over having an open area. Addi-
tional wish list items include: racquetball and basketball courts, indoor track, child care, massag-
es.
Most participants would only pay for a personal trainer if it came with the membership and
wasnt overpriced. One man said he would be willing to pay $30-$40 if it came with membership.
Consensus from other group members said no more than $30, but ideal would be $20.
In order to change gyms, focus group members said that the competing gym would have to
be on the same level in terms of quality of equipment, have a lot of weights and space, and be
cleaner. But the biggest factor would be a competitive price.
Approximately 75 percent of Orange Soda employees are under the age of 30 and just starting
out. Price is very important.
Summary: Employees of the businesses in the local business park are interested in working
out during the work day, this could represent an opportunity for VSP. Tis also represents a chal-
lenge as many employees already have gym memberships. However, many from this group are
interested in receiving further ftness and nutrition instruction that they arent currently getting
from their current gyms. Generally full-time employees prefer to exercise during their lunch
hour, part-time employees prefer afer work. Tis could work to VSPs beneft as they have class-
es available at these times.
Disclaimer: Tese focus groups represent a small cross section of people and are by no means
meant to be exhaustive of completely representative.
Potential Public Profles
Women in Utah County
Tere are more than approximately 156,000 women over the age of 19 in Utah County. When
18 19
Research Research
it comes to working out, women worry about the environment in the gym and would rather have
the company of others they feel comfortable with so they dont feel self-conscious. If they are
mothers, they may also have to take extra time to make childcare arrangementslimiting the
time available for working out. In general, women are very particular in their workouts and have
a harder time staying motivated to go on a consistent basis. Tey are motivated by the social as-
pect of working out, but intimidated by the way other women look. Tird-party infuentials may
include friends, spouses and family.
Working adults
Whether part-time or full-time, the adults working in the business park surrounding VSP are
career driven, focused employees. While several have gym memberships subsidized by their
employer they still may have difculty getting to the gym. Tis public is motivated to work out
because they want to lower their body fat. Tey like work out facilities with state-of-the-art
equipment, convenient locations and fair prices. Tey dont like to feel crowded while working
out. Tey enjoy the social aspect of working out and are infuenced by their peers, family and
pop-culture icons.
Current Members
Velocity Sports Performance has a strong foundational base of clients with most consistent
members being school-age athletes from third grade and up. Tese current clients fll most
hours afer 4:00pm. Tis public is motivated by their personal aspirations in athletics and push-
ing themselves to the next level. Tird-party infuentials include parents, friends, coaches and
teammates. Te current adult clients can only make time to work out either before work hours,
during the lunch hours, or later afer work. Tese adults are limited to their time, and fll time
slots when they have an extra hour or two. Working adults are motivated by their own health
obligations and the time to clear their mind and not worry about work and personal responsibil-
ities. Teir third-party infuentials include their families, friends and coworkers.
Recreationally Competitive Athletes
Demographically speaking, people who participate recreationally in races are both male and fe-
male and any age. Tey may or may not have been athletes in the past, but they are dedicated to
becoming something. Whether they race for ftness or because they love their event, those who
are successful have a support network of friends and family who infuence them and help them
succeed. Tis safety net is imperative to training success. Tis group of people includes goal
setters who want to push themselves to improve. However, some may need an outside source
to help them along, whether its a training partner or a coach. Many members of this public see
training and racing as a social activity, and they enjoy the relationship building aspect of train-
ing. Most like to train early in the morning and on the weekends. Tey are motivated by a desire
to fnish the race. Some are motivated by a desire to win. Tose who want to focus on training
also like to include special diets along with supplements to increase performance. However,
many do not include training outside of their event. Tis could be an opportunity for VSP.

Statement
Situation Analysis
Situation Analysis
Velocity Sports Performance wants to create a solid, income generating foundation at the new
facility with adult clients who consistently come and pay month-to-month. Currently it ofers
classes early in the morning and later in the afernoon. Its main clientele consists of students.
VSP is interested in catering to more adults during the dayspecifcally professionals who work
in the surrounding business parks. However, many of the local employees already have gym
memberships which are subsidized by their employer and have never used and may not be inter-
ested in using or paying for a personal trainer. Stay-at-home moms may also be a potential pub-
lic. However, as VSP does not ofer daycare, their attendance may also be prevented during the
day.
Te specifc nature of VSP work outs do not cater to people who do not have a sports mentali-
ty. However, the one-on-one attention provided by VSP coaches could be benefcial to those who
do not have past sports experience. Most people perceive VSP as a gym that caters to children
who play sports. If VSP can overcome this perception and raise the number of adult member-
ships, it will increase overall proftability.
Core Problem Statement
Velocity Sports Performances location change provides an opportunity to re-introduce the
work out facility to the public and increase its membership and day-time class attendance which
will ensure the proftability of facility and allow it to stay open.

Overweight Men and Women
Tis public will consist of men and women over the age of 25 who live in Northern Utah County.
Tis public will be in the obese category of the universal BMI.
Self interests include losing weight, lowering health risks, gaining a lower BMI, getting stronger
and improving self confdence.
Message:
Every hot body starts at ground zero. Its your turn. Get your sweat on.
Secondary:
To lose a pound of fat you have to burn 3,500 calories. Tats 500 calories per day for a week. Cir-
cuit training, like that done at VSP, burns 30 % more calories than a regular workout.
You can get your old body back. You dont need more information, you need more sweat.
Maybe you exercise to tone your thighs, build your biceps, or fatten your belly. Or maybe you
work out to ward of the big killers like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. But how about sweat-
ing to improve your mind? Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms
of mood, memory, and learning, says Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey.
A study the Journal of the American Medical Association followed the exercise habits of over
34,000 women and concluded that it took about an hour a day of moderate (3 mph walking)
exercising to maintain weight.
A study cited in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine demonstrated a 57 percent increase
in long-term ftness individuals who worked with a personal trainer. Te study attributed this
boost to improved attitudes among exercisers, compelling them to continue their workout pro-
grams beyond the 10-week testing period. By creating a comprehensive workout plan that suits
your ftness and bodily needs, a personal trainer can help you make exercise a long-term addi-
tion to your lifestyle. Tey also help prevent injury, motivate you and help keep you on track for
your personal ftness goals (livestrong.com).

I love VSP. I came here looking to shake up my normal routine, and afer one session I was
hooked. Coach ____ pushed me farther than I have ever gone. He believed in me, more than I
have ever believed in myself. Afer training at VSP for my next half-marathon, I took 10 minutes
of of my run time. Its a miracle! Come here and give it a shot-- You wont be able to go back to
your boring routine. --Shelly, VSP member.

$60/month is more afordable than any personal trainer, so you can train here all year round
without causing fnancial stress.
Proper training by our VSP coaches is in smaller groups. Tis makes it safer for you because with
a coach closely watching your workouts, you are at increased risk for injury.

Of-season Tips for Athletes
Even though its of-season and youre sick of training or thinking about being the best in a specifc sport, its
probably best you keep in mind a couple of tips that will help you in the upcoming season.

Take a break:
When summer break comes around athletes will most likely swing one of two ways. (1) They will decide to
enjoy summer to the fullest and lounge around the house, relax and enjoy the time of not being required to
do anything. (2) Athletes will refuse to get out of the zone and train just as hard, or sometimes even harder,
as if they were still in season. Its better for athletes to stay away from both of these extremes. Instead of
trying not to fall into either of these situations, dont think about it at all and just have fun. It will be natu-
ral. Still do the activities you would normally do in the summer such as swimming, light jogging, dancing,
biking, etc. Youll be doing just enough to stay active yet not pushing your body too hard.
Achieve an Of-season Goal:
When the last 8-10 weeks of the summer is approaching its a good time to slowly get back into gear for the
next season ahead. This gives your body most of the summer to relax and pay attention to something you
want to accomplish. For some athletes this will be improving speed, developing specifc techniques, gaining
muscle mass or reducing body fat. Come up with a realistic goal and use the summer to give you a head
start for the next season.
Maintain a Consistent Diet:
Summer time isnt an excuse to binge on all types of foods your coach wouldnt let you eat during the
season. Rather than eating ice cream or going to bufets every day, keep your diet the same as it was
before. No one said you couldnt go out and grab a burger or take a dessert or two, but dont go over-
board. Youll regret this at the end of the summer when youre trying to pick up where you left of last sea-
son.

Velocity Sports Performance Op-Ed
Step Up and Out of Your Comfort Zone
By Meredith Francom
I was sitting at my daughters pee-wee volleyball game this week when it occurred to
me volleyball is a lot harder than it looks.
Most of these children have never seen a volleyball game, let alone played one, but
they act like putting themselves out there and trying something new is no big deal.
The game moved slowly. When a team nally got two hits of a serve to return it to the
other side the crowd of parents erupted like it was the gold-medal match at the
Olympics. I suppose for the kids it felt the same.
Unlike these children, we adults seem to miss opportunities to feel the exhilaration of
learning something new. Instead we see ourselves as specialized. Weve worked hard
to master our profession and we avoid straying from what is usual and familiar. As a
result we end up in a stable but comfortable rut.
But does it have to be that way? Of course not. Take tness for example. Just because
were not in high school anymore doesnt mean we cant be t. I understand that you
may be torn between obligations to your kids, home, job or spouse, but if you arent
your best you cant give your best.
Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels recently posted on Facebook, The past doesnt
dene you, your present does. Its okay to create a vision of the future because it
afects your behavior in the now, but dont dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them
and focus those lessons in the moment. Thats where change can really happen.
Getting t is only a matter of dedication and time. The key to success is surrounding
yourself with supportive people and industry experts. You wouldnt try to build a
house without a proper plan and the right tools, so why do we take the same approach
to tness?
At Velocity Sports Performance we use top-of-the-line coaching techniques that
ensure you are never left to just gure it out. Group workouts mean youll never feel
singled out, and youll get the group support you need to succeed.
This weekend Velocity Sports Performance honors the 150 participants of their Get Fit
program with a nal weigh-in. These health hopefuls came to VSP searching for the
tools they needed to make their tness goals a reality. Now, they get to feel the
exhilaration that comes with nishing a challenge.

Like the volleyball game, it promises to be an evening full of excitement and cheering.

reap the rewards for the rest of their lives.
Isnt it time you tried something new?

To: Cathy Allred, callred@heraldextra.com, North County Reporter, Daily Harold
Subject:
Hi Cathy Allred,
I enjoyed reading your recent article in the Daily Herald on the geocache bufs. It is nice for us Utah
Valley residents to be informed on local culture and events.
With Utah making national newspapers for local sports teams and athletic individuals, Utah seems
to be making a name for itself in athletics. I think Utah residents, especially athletes and parents of
athletes, would be interested to know about a gym opening in American Fork which is unlike tra-
ditional gyms. It is specialized in making athletes faster, stronger and more agile. Te name of this
gym is Velocity Sports Performance.
Let me know if you are interested and I can send you a press release, as well as other information.
Tank you for your time,
Benjamin Lopez

Feature Story
Feature Story
Five of Pleasant Grove High Schools varsity football team has trained with
Velocity Sports Performance (VSP) since they were all freshman. These players have
successfully led their team to four consecutive seasons of playoffs, three of which took
them to the finals. Athletes Gary Sanchez, Taylor Smith, Michael Macamore, Zane
Wilskow and Bryan Brown are all going to a major college on a football scholarship, and
they agree that VSP is what helped them have a successful football career.
All five of Pleasant Groves leading senior on the football team individually went
to Velocity on their own time to focus on techniques they could improve. When I would
talk about VSP to my buddies, I found out that we werent doing any of the same drills.
Wilksow said. Their facility made sure that my workouts focused on me specifically
and it was what I needed to work on that week.
Wilksow accepted his full-ride scholarship at the University of Southern
California. He said he started training at Velocity only because his coaches suggested
that was the best way he could excel outside of practice. Wilksow said, When I was
fourteen I knew I wasnt the fastest, most talented, biggest or most athletic guy on the
field. I needed someone to help me get to a point where I could compete with my own
peers before I could compete with kids at other schools.
Wiksow trained at VSP four times a week with the same trainer. His trainer
always kept notes on his progress and was able to help him overcome every weakness
and accomplish every one of Wilksows goals.

Feature Story
Sanchez aspired to be the best wide receiver in America ever since he was three
years old. He never played any other position. Sanchez knew he had to take his training
seriously to become the best and found that several NFL players who were top-notch
wide receivers trained at a VSP facility. Sanchez convinced his parents to sign him up
and their family could only afford to take him there once a week. In that one-week
session, Sanchezs trainer pushed him every minute to maximize his time at the facility.
Sanchez was able to approve his agility and speed and eventually lead his team with the
most amount of touchdown in his high school. I though I would be able to take the time
and play with my friends to help me, but Im glad I decided to go to Velocity instead,
Sanchez said.
Smith committed to playing football at the University of Michigan after finishing
his high school career with four Most Valuable Player awards. He was Pleasant Groves
running back and averaged at least 220 yards each game. Ive been training with
Velocity since I was in seventh grade and they were always willing to help me with
anything I needed, Smith said. Smith felt Velocity helped him get to the speed where he
wanted to be at and thats why he was able to do so well in the season.
Brown was Pleasant Groves quarterback for four years and although he felt that
Velocity couldnt necessarily help with his throwing abilities, they could help him do one
thing he couldnt do on his own. Velocity helped brown bulk up. I was always the
skinny guy and had trouble gaining muscle mass, Brown said. Velocity knew exactly
what I could do to do that and it wasnt anything I felt like I couldnt handle. Brown
struggled with his size and knew that if he wasnt a little heavier, it would be easier for
70 71
his opponents to take him down. VSP trained with him and taught him lifting techniques
that wouldnt hinder his athleticism.
Macamore has been one of Velocitys longest clients. Macamore started training
with them since he was only eight years old. When he first trained with VSP they didnt
take him to lift weights or push him to limits his body wouldnt allow him to do. Instead
VSP tailored games Macamore was already familiar with and give him tips on how to do
the basics things such as running, jumping, squatting and more. Its cool how they were
training me even though it wasnt the kind of training you see on television, Macamore
said.
As Macamore got older Velocity was able to help him create goals and reach each
of them over time. He wasnt trained to perform well in one sport, he trained to become a
better athlete overall. Velocity isnt lying when they said they can improve speed,
agility and power. I improved in all three, and if I can, anyone can, Macamore said.
Macamore continues to train at Velocity before he leaves for the University of Oregon in
the Fall.
Velocity not only helped Pleasant Grove High Schools football team become one
of the best in the state of Utah, but helped several individuals on their team. Their
training program has proven to be specific to each athlete and focus on their needs and
wants. Velocity Sports Performance recently moved south of their Lehi facility to
American Fork. They hope their bigger facility will help provide more room for all of
their clients to train.

March 20, 2013 Velocity Sports Performance will be holding a 10-week weight loss
event, beginning January and ending in March, for all men and women who want to

Location Director.
Velocity Sports Performance moved from Lehi to their current location in American Fork
earlier this year.

Loser and is meant to help those who are overweight to slim down and create a healthy
exercise regimen.
The competition will include daily workouts and meal planning with trained fitness
professionals. Men and women will train separately and participate in activities specific
to their group. Weight will be recorded throughout the competition and the individual
