Youth Fitness in Big Rapids, MI
Red Nation is our premier athlete program and in the world of youth athletics, it is unmatched. From middle school kids in need of a healthy foundation, to high school athletes with hopes of playing at the next level, to college & pro studs looking for a competitive advantage to edge out the competition, Red Nation is the home of sports performance at JDFit.
We believe that no child should be left unattended at a globo gym or inside a school weight room. It’s not safe, and the ones that do get out ‘unscathed’ develop poor habits and biomechanics that can take years to correct. Red Nation focuses first and foremost on safety, developing sound movement patterns and fundamentals. We then continue to move at the pace of the athlete, focusing on strength, power, acceleration, deceleration, mobility and flexibility. This ultimately leads to college prep, where we help our athletes get noticed, meet with college coaches, and ultimately show up in campus weight rooms as freshman, head and shoulders above their peers.
Red Nation is not composed of volunteer coaches that used to play a sport one time back in high school. We have a decorated staff specializing in Sports Performance, programming and assessment equipment trusted by NFL, MLB, and NBA organizations, and a passion for positively impacting kids' lives through sports. Every movement, set, rep, and skill test is recorded and evaluated, and athletes and parents receive power and strength reports outlining progress, coaching recommendations, and injury prevention strategies on a regular basis.
