A Bluestreak of Fitness

The Wellness & Fitness Center is buzzing with activity as many of our off-season athletes, as well as our in-season teams, are taking advantage of the facility and the highly experienced, certified Bluestreak instructors.

The Bluestreak staff are on hand every day to work with our student-athletes, providing them guidance and support for their individual programs. In addition, they work with winter teams and coaches on sport-specific training sessions.

Justin Pearl ‘21, one of the student-athletes to make the most of the new space, has been extremely impressed with both the facility and trainers. The St. Luke’s boys lacrosse captain said: “The addition of the turf and the Bluestreak staff have been the most beneficial aspects of the new space, as the open area allows athletes to do a variety of speed training. The instructors are always eager to help anyone with their workout. They motivate and push all the athletes to their fullest potential.”

Since last fall, boys and girls basketball have been training in the new space and seen tangible results from their hard work and dedication. Boys and girls squash also have scheduled sessions in the space this winter and have been working with the instructors to improve speed, agility, and strength.

Boys captain Lewis Cropper ‘21 agrees with Pearl about the addition of the turf: “The new turf and incline are great for improving speed and explosiveness. The Bluestreak staff have been awesome for me and our team. Their workouts have really helped with team chemistry as they promote a great supportive environment. The boys on the team have really bought into it. The Bluestreak staff always make sure that we are using proper form, and the trainers do a great job writing workout programs based on an athletes’ individual needs.”

Girls captain Caroline Lau ‘22 thinks her team will reap the benefits of being able to work with such experienced staff and to train in such a great space: “It’s extremely helpful to have the Bluestreak trainers whenever we use the fitness center as they provide great guidance throughout our workouts. I think our whole team is going to see the rewards of the training we have been doing as we will be stronger and faster than before.”
