Sports performance training in Stittsville

Faster. Stronger. Harder to hurt.

Three coaches, three angles. Speed and strength for the field from a former pro soccer player, fight conditioning from a Muay Thai and jiu-jitsu competitor, and an athletic therapist so an injury does not end a season. For athletes 14 and up, adult competitors, and teams.

NCAA and professional soccer on staffCertified athletic therapist, CAT(C)Teams coached since 2017

Your coaches

Three specialists. One floor. One plan.

Most places give you one coach and one method. Here the speed coach, the fight coach and the athletic therapist work in the same building and talk to each other, so your program changes when your body does.

Myles Cornwall, coach at Between The Bumpers
Soccer, speed, agility, quickness

Myles Cornwall

Four seasons of NCAA soccer at Walsh University, then professional with Atlético Ottawa and Fort Wayne FC

He has been the athlete at the level you are aiming for, and he coaches with the attention to detail that got him there.

  • First-step speed, change of direction and deceleration, the part that keeps knees safe
  • Strength and power blocks built around tryouts, seasons and playoffs
  • In-season maintenance that feeds the games instead of stealing from them

Brett Irwin, coach at Between The Bumpers
BoxingFit, MMA and fight conditioning

Brett Irwin

NASM-CPT, Fitness and Health Promotion (Honours), active Muay Thai and Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor

Years on the mats and in the ring, now spent making other people sharper, calmer and harder to gas out.

  • Footwork, mitt work and heavy-bag rounds with real technique underneath
  • Conditioning for combat sports, and for anyone who wants fight-level fitness without fighting
  • Non-contact by default, never a fight-gym atmosphere

Athletic therapy and return to play

  • Assessment and hands-on treatment, no referral needed
  • Return-to-play plans written with the coach who runs your sessions
  • Billed as athletic therapy on many benefit plans

Who we train

Three kinds of athlete walk in here.

High-school athletes, 14 and up

Tryouts, the season, the next level. Age-appropriate strength first, then speed on top, coached by someone who has stood where they want to stand. Parents are welcome on the floor.

Adult competitors and weekend warriors

Rec hockey, soccer, paddling, running, a fight camp, a tournament. You still compete, and you would like to keep doing it without a month off every spring.

Teams and clubs

Dryland and strength blocks written for the sport, the age group and the calendar. In the barn or at your facility, with an athletic therapist available for the inevitable.

Teams and organizations we have trained

Football, dragon boat, ringette, hockey, universities and First Nations.

From the Stittsville Lions dryland program to the Bytown Dragon Boat Club and West Ottawa Wild, our coaches have written and run team blocks since 2017.

How it works

A conversation, an assessment, a plan.

  1. A free No-Sweat IntroTwenty minutes with a coach. Sport, position, schedule, history, what the next twelve weeks need to produce. No workout, and an honest answer if we are not the right fit.
  2. An assessment on the floorMovement, strength and speed baselines, and a look at anything that hurts. If Taylor needs to see it first, she sees it first.
  3. A block, then the next onePrograms run in blocks tied to your calendar. Every session is coached, and the plan changes when the season does.
Formats

Pick the room size.

One-on-oneThe fastest route

Your coach, your program, your schedule. Best for a specific tryout, a return from injury, or a fight camp.

Semi-private, two to fourTeammates, siblings, training partners

Individual programming in a small group. Same coach, shared cost, and a bit of competition in the room.

Team sessionsClubs and school teams

Dryland and strength blocks for the whole roster, in the barn or at your facility. Quoted per session or per block.

Pricing depends on format and frequency. We walk you through it at the intro, and there is nothing to sign that day. Teams: request a quote.

Questions

Parents and athletes ask these.

How young do you take athletes?

Fourteen and up for individual and semi-private training. Younger athletes we coach only as part of a team block, with their coaches and parents involved.

Is boxing training contact?

No. BoxingFit and fight conditioning with Brett are non-contact: pads, bag, footwork and conditioning. Competitive fighters get sport-specific work built around their camp, but nobody spars here.

Can we train in season?

Yes, and you should. In-season sessions are shorter and lighter, aimed at keeping speed and strength you built in the off-season, and at staying healthy through playoffs.

What if my athlete is injured?

Taylor, our certified athletic therapist, assesses and treats without a referral, and writes the return-to-play plan with the coach. Many benefit plans cover athletic therapy. Bring the card.

Do you do team dryland?

Yes. Football, ringette, dragon boat, hockey and soccer clubs have run blocks with us in the barn and at their own facilities. Ask for a quote with the team, the age group and the dates.
