Common Questions

Everybody tests in. Nobody trains here until we have measured how they move — a five-year-old and a professional go through the same door. Without a baseline there is nothing to build the block around and nothing to measure the end of it against, which is the difference between a program and a guess.

We measure how your athlete actually moves — not how they should. It runs on camera and on the clock: timing gates for the sprints, measured jumps. Then a coach walks you and your athlete through exactly what we found, tells you which of the four pillars to prioritise, and lays out which program fits and what the next twelve weeks look like.

Seven of them: the 10-yard, the 20-yard, vertical, 4-jump, broad jump, lateral bound and RSI. All seven roll into a single Athletic Composite Score. See exactly how testing in works.

One number for how athletic your athlete is right now. All seven tests roll into it, and every future re-test is set beside it — so change becomes a figure a parent understands, a coach can act on and a physician can read, rather than a feeling.

Because it isn't a sales pitch — it's the first piece of real work we do. A free consultation tells you nothing. A gait analysis gives you measured data on how your athlete moves, where they rank, and what's actually limiting them. That data drives every session that follows.

No — they book an Effective Range Test-In instead. They don't start over, they start from their last set of numbers. We re-measure effective range, find what moved and what didn't, and build the next block around the gap.

It depends which program fits, and working that out is what the gait analysis is for. You'll see exact pricing when you book, and you're welcome to call or text and ask before you do.

Book the gait analysis here, or call or text 610-283-4598 and tell us your athlete's age, sport and what you're trying to improve. Those go straight to Josh, and he answers them himself — usually the same day.

We train athletes from age five through the professional level. Our Young Guns program (5–11) focuses on coordination, body control, and confidence — the athletic foundation everything else is built on. There's no age that's too early to learn to move well.

Unlikely. Olympians, NFL veterans and elite prospects book private training here to refine mechanics, prepare for a combine or pro day, and come back from injury with proof they're ready. The same door is open to any athlete who wants the room to themselves.

Usually the most. Athletes who are fast relative to their team are often furthest from their own ceiling, because nothing has forced them to improve mechanically. The athletes on our wall didn't come here slow — they came here already good and left measurably better.

Yes. Acceleration, force production, and change of direction decide outcomes in nearly every sport. We've worked with athletes across football, baseball, soccer, swimming, hockey, softball, lacrosse, and track — and we're the official performance coaches for a semi-pro soccer club.

Not this early — we would rather they play three. Between five and eleven the job is teaching a nervous system to coordinate a body that keeps changing size on it, and that window does not come back. Young Guns is built for exactly that: no barbells, and no conditioning for the sake of making a nine-year-old tired.

Programming runs on 12-week cycles, and we re-test at the end — so you get proof rather than a feeling. We'll lay out the exact weekly commitment at your gait analysis, based on the athlete's age, sport, and season.

Acceleration, initial force generation, center of mass management and max velocity — in that order, because each one builds on the one beneath it. Master them in order and top-end speed stops being the goal and becomes the by-product. The method, in full.

The first weeks are usually the loudest, and that's the nervous system reorganising rather than muscle growing — it's where most of the change in the 10-yard comes from. The back half is where force catches up and the vertical and broad jump move. Then we re-test on the same equipment your athlete started on.

A proprietary resistance, proven and refined across the life of KPM. It isn't a load bolted onto the athlete — the cords hold them inside a small percentage of the movement itself, the exact pattern we're trying to change, and every rep against it is counted rather than guessed at.

Eight athletes to one coach. The floor is 7,200 square feet and runs 24 athletes a lesson.

No. Most training chases fatigue — make them tired, call it work. This chases mechanics. General strength is a different job done a different way; this is the part that changes how fast the signal gets there.

It shouldn't. Programming is written around your athlete's season, not ours. For squads we also run low-volume in-season work that maintains speed without adding wear.

It is the measured increase in athleticism across a full 12-week cycle — effective range, the space an athlete can cover and create. Measured at the start and again at the end, on the same seven tests.

Two numbers side by side — the day-one score and the re-test, run on the same equipment. “He seems faster” becomes a document you can hand a college coach.

Our alumni wall lists every athlete who has gone on from here and where they went, by sport and by school. It is a list of names rather than a testimonial, on purpose — you can check it.

That's a large part of what we do. There is physical therapy in the building, run by our partners at Spectrum Fitness Rehab & Peak Performance, and local sports medicine physicians refer return-to-play athletes to us specifically because we test and re-test. Bring us your clearance and we'll build around it.

No. It's in our building and it runs off the same numbers as the training, but Spectrum Fitness Rehab & Peak Performance are their own practice. KPM athletes, their parents and former athletes can book with them through us — ask here. Everyone else can go to Peak Performance directly.

Your physician makes that call — we give them something to make it on. Return-to-play athletes run the same twelve-week block as everyone else, nothing watered down, and we run the same seven tests again at the end. The gap between the two scores is what “ready” looks like on paper instead of “it feels fine”. How return to play works.

Young Guns (5–11) train twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday at 3:30 PM at KPM, plus an optional Saturday session at 8:30 AM on the Atlantic Christian track. Athletes 11 and up train three days a week and pick a track for the cycle: Track 1 is Monday, Wednesday and Friday; Track 2 is Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Weekday time slots are 3:30 PM, 4:45 PM and 6:00 PM — an athlete picks the one that works around their week and keeps it for the whole 12-week cycle. Saturday is a single 8:30 AM max-velocity session, 90 minutes, at Atlantic Christian.

514 New Road, Somers Point, New Jersey 08244 — 7,200 square feet of indoor turf, timing rigs and coaches on the floor. Get directions.

Almost certainly. Somers Point is the facility, but athletes travel in from across South Jersey — Atlantic, Cape May, Gloucester, Camden, Burlington and Cumberland counties, and most major towns within about 25 miles.

We deliver full KPM programming through our own app, so athletes away at school or out of state train the same method. Many start with an in-person gait analysis and continue remotely — and remote athletes do best when we have seen them move in person at least once.

Yes. One testing day gets a full roster measured on the same gates and mats we use for individuals, and your staff gets it back ranked by athlete and by quality — so you can see who is slow because they're slow and who is slow because they can't produce force. Those two need opposite off-seasons. Team testing & training.

Yes — on campus, in the school's own gym, inside the after-school window, for grades K–8. Every athlete is electronically tested on day one and again on the last day, and parents get the two numbers side by side. After school programs.

Yes, on iOS and Android. The session is written before your athlete arrives, every test result lives in one place so you can watch the numbers move over months rather than guess, and your coach is in the thread between sessions.

Normal training kit is fine. We do recommend — but don't require — the Antepes Muscle Runner, the official shoe recommended by KPM, and there's a KPM athlete discount on it.
