ACCELERATE:
SPEED
Explosive first step quickness, acceleration, max velocity, and multi-directional speed.
Most young athletes run with inefficient sprint mechanics. Our "Accelerate" protocol rebuilds the biomechanical sequence of the sprint. Through sprint training, plyometrics, and dynamic strength training, we unlock the hidden speed that converts talent into breakaway plays on game day.
DOMINATE:
STRENGTH
Velocity based training and multi-planar movements that transfer to the field.
Functional strength at Athletes Acceleration isn’t about bulk; it’s about transferability. From foundational strength training mastery for younger kids to advanced resistance training for elite high schoolers, we ensure every ounce of strength built translates to faster speed, higher jumps, further throws, harder swings, and more.
UNLEASH:
POWER
Unlocking explosive force that transforms athletic performance when it matters most.
The best athletes produce the most force at the highest speeds. Our advanced plyometric progressions, medicine ball work, and velocity-based training methods transform strength into explosive power outputs that dominate competition.

Why Auburn Athletes Choose Us
Athletes Acceleration Auburn trains young athletes across Lee County—from Auburn and Opelika to Smiths Station, Salem, and Notasulga. Operating as Grit Fitness and Performance, Fueled by Athletes Acceleration, our program pairs the Grit Fitness and Performance team's local coaching with the Athletes Acceleration training system: velocity-based methods, structured periodization, and electronic timing that develop the speed, strength, and power that competitive Alabama athletics demand.
Our facility at 2301 Ogletree Village Ln brings the Athletes Acceleration model to Auburn—sprint and acceleration work, structured strength progressions, and power development through plyometrics and ballistic movements. Every session follows a concurrent periodization structure, and our small-group, high-coaching-ratio format means athletes from Auburn, Opelika, and the surrounding Lee County communities get individualized coaching on every rep, in a corner of east Alabama where college athletics set the standard young athletes measure themselves against.
Every new athlete at our Auburn location begins with an athletic assessment—sprint testing with electronic timing, vertical jump measurement, and a movement evaluation. We use these baselines to build a training plan tailored to each athlete's sport, position, and developmental stage, with progress tracked through consistent retesting so athletes and families across the Auburn-Opelika area can see measurable improvement.

FAQ
We train athletes ages 8 through 18 across three age-specific programs: Multi-Sport Foundation (8-12), Competitive Edge (13-15), and College Prep (16-18). Each program is designed for the developmental needs of that age group.
Our free athletic assessment includes baseline speed testing (10/20/40 yard dash), vertical jump measurement, mobility screening, and a consultation with a certified performance coach to create a personalized training plan.
We train athletes across all sports including football, basketball, soccer, baseball, softball, track & field, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, and more. Our training focuses on universal athletic qualities that transfer to any sport.
We are open Monday through Thursday 6:00 AM - 7:00 PM, Friday 6:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Saturday 7:00 AM - 12:00 PM, and closed on Sunday. Visit us at 2301 Ogletree Village Ln Bldg 4000 Suite 100, Auburn, AL 36830 or call (334) 539-8215.
No experience is necessary. Our programs are designed to meet athletes where they are, whether they are just starting their athletic journey or preparing for collegiate competition. Every athlete begins with an assessment so we can tailor their training.
We guarantee your athlete will gain at least 1mph in speed and 3 inches on their vertical jump within 90 days of consistent training. If they don't hit those benchmarks, we continue training them at no additional cost until they do. Every athlete is baseline tested on day one and retested monthly so progress is always measurable — no guessing.
