Questions? Answered.
For Parents & Athletes
What age can my child start sports performance training?
Kids can safely begin structured, age-appropriate training around age 7 or 8, once they can follow directions and practice proper form. FYF Athletics trains athletes ages 7 to 18 in Valencia with programs matched to each stage of development.
Is strength training safe for kids?
Yes. The old myth that lifting stunts growth has been thoroughly debunked. Research from the NSCA and the American Academy of Pediatrics shows that properly coached, supervised strength training is safe and beneficial for young athletes. At FYF, all strength work is athlete-focused and age-appropriate, progressing through our sessions from Athlete Foundations to Athlete Strength.
How do you measure my athlete's progress?
Progress is built into every program. Our group classes run evaluations every 6 to 8 weeks so athletes and parents see measurable improvement. For athletes in private training, our advanced Youth Athlete Evaluation goes deeper, with velocity-sensor testing and an intensive movement screen tailored to your athlete's sport.
What sports do you train athletes for?
Football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, track and more. We build the speed, strength and coordination every sport needs, and multi-sport athletes are welcome.
How much does youth training cost?
Drop-in sessions start at $38, and memberships start at $139 per four-week cycle, with options for every schedule including punchcards, weekly, unlimited and sibling packages. Tap Get Started and text us, and we'll match your athlete with the right option in a couple of messages.
What makes FYF different from other sports performance gyms near me?
More than a decade training Santa Clarita athletes, certified coaches with 40+ years of combined experience, Parisi Speed School methods, and 30+ athletes coached to college scholarships. Most of all, every athlete here is coached and known by name. That's what a decade of community looks like.
For Adults
What is Adult Strength all about?
Lifting for health and for life. Adult Strength is coached strength and conditioning built for everyday adults, so you get stronger, move better and stay durable for the long run. No competition required, no pressure to perform. Just consistent, structured training in a no-judgment community.
How is this different from CrossFit or "functional fitness" classes?
Adult Strength isn't about racing a clock or the person next to you. Sessions follow structured, progressive strength programming with a coach on the floor guiding every lift, built for long-term health and real-life strength rather than leaderboards or competition.
Do I need to already be fit to join?
No. Every workout scales to your level, from first-timers to lifelong athletes. Everyone starts somewhere, and there are no egos here.
How many days per week should I train?
Most members see great results at 3 to 4 coached sessions per week. Your coach will help you build a schedule that fits your life.
How do I get started as an adult?
The same way our athletes do. Tap Get Started and it opens a text conversation with us. We'll answer your questions and set you up with a trial session in the right class, so you can come in and feel it out for yourself.
