“After playing ultimate at an elite level for a few years, it became apparent to me that I had to become bigger, faster, and stronger instead of just relying on technical skill. Since I’ve been training at Own It, I’ve felt a significant difference in my game. I feel faster on the field, more explosive, and stronger so I’m not constantly getting bodied by bigger defenders. Not only have I felt and performed better, but this is the healthiest my body has ever felt. I didn’t get major injuries throughout the season and I believe that’s due to Own It Fitness and the training he has up to.”

Own It Ultimate is a year-long, online fitness regime that takes Ultimate Athletes through Off-Season Training, Pre-Season Prep, In-Season Care, and Post-Season Recovery.
Elite Division Ultimate
A New Workout Program
Designed for the rigors of Elite Level Competitive Ultimate
The demands on the body of the elite ultimate athlete are unique to the sport.
The start-stop nature of play, the lateral and up-and-down field movement, receiver-like motions, bidding requirements, and more make designing an elite ultimate athlete’s body challenging.
This program focuses on explosiveness, injury prevention, core strength, vertical jump and sprint improvement, conditioning, and season longevity. It bears in mind that the elite ultimate season is long and high-impact on muscles, joints, the core nervous system, and overall health impact.
By the end of this program, you should be running faster for longer, jumping higher more quickly, enjoying greater agility, and using broader shoulders to position command positioning on the field.
Most importantly, you should be developing the type of body that can take you through a long career in a demanding sport.
The Game is Changing. Don’t Get Left Behind.

Key’s Advice
Head Trainer
“Strength and Resistance Training are crucial for Ultimate frisbee. And not just strength training, but “functional” strength training. It’s important that you are doing lifts and movements that apply to your sport. The more functional, the better. At Own It Fitness, we perform traditional lifts and movements, but we also specialize in more modern and New Age movements that apply to Ultimate.
If you want to run faster, jump higher, and be more explosive, you’ve got to build muscle. It’s really that simple. We coach proper functional strength and resistance training in order to increase power, build muscular hypertrophy, enhance explosion, and improve balance so that frisbee athletes at all levels can level up their game.
Strength and resistance training that is properly programmed also aids in post-game recovery and injury prevention.”
