Speed & Agility Training in Raleigh, NC
Athletic Speed Training
Sprint To Success
Build speed and agility for the field or court. Our data-driven speed training program combines high-intensity drills and customized conditioning so athletes get faster and stay fast, with better endurance for every game.
Speed Development Program
In addition to our foundational Strength Training Program, our Speed Development Program utilizes our High Performance Treadmill to enhance agility and correct movement. This translates to increased performance on the field and improves speed and overall skill across all sports. We use high speed and high incline as part of our Speed Development Program to force our athletes into correct positioning for power generation during a run or sprint. Our Speed Development Program focuses on improving coordination, agility, accuracy, and balance. We also work to raise the anaerobic threshold of our athletes so they can perform at a higher level for longer periods of time. Athletes who put in the work usually leave faster and more powerful than they arrived: progress we measure, not just claim.

Why Should I Start Speed Training?
Speed is important for every sport. It can separate a good athlete from a great athlete. The pace of play in most sports is increasing as athletes get stronger and faster than ever. Whether the sport is football, soccer, basketball, or even volleyball, speed will be an asset on game day. Faster players will have an edge in every sport. At DiamondFit Performance we have a speed training program to help our athletes explosively improve their speed and pace in their specific sport. We incorporate a high speed treadmill program and data driven goals to help our athletes grow.
Speed training builds the ability to sustain high speed and endurance. Different sports require varying speed types: from short sprints to sustained running.
Foundations of Speed
Rate of Force Development
Training to increase your rate of force development enhances explosive power, giving you the ability to accelerate quickly and generate force efficiently. This foundational skill is crucial for any athlete aiming to excel in high-speed, high-power movements.
Quickness
Quickness is the ability to respond instantly and react to in-game situations. Our speed training drills enhance reflexes and body control, allowing athletes to make sharp, rapid movements with precision.
Agility
Agility combines balance, coordination, and control, enabling athletes to change direction smoothly and quickly. By training agility, we improve the athlete's ability to adapt to dynamic, fast-changing scenarios on the field or court.
High Performance Treadmill
Our speed classes train on a Tuff Tread, a high-speed, high-incline treadmill built for sprint work. A coach can set an exact speed and an exact incline and hold an athlete there, standing beside them at eye level, coaching mechanics at the speed the mechanics actually break down. On a field, those positions come and go in a second or two.
Because speed and incline are numbers, the progression is a number. We know exactly what an athlete did last week and exactly what we're asking of them this week.
The Tuff Tread is available to DiamondFit members in speed training.
Already Lifting With Your Team?
If your athlete gets their strength work at school, speed training with us stands on its own. Same coaching, same treadmill, programmed around their season so it fits what their team is already asking of them. For everyone else, speed and agility are already inside the
strength program: same sessions, same membership.
Ready To Increase Your Speed?
Speed and change of direction are trained inside the same coached sessions as strength, not sold as a separate add-on. Contact us to get started, or book a free athlete assessment to see where your athlete stands today.
