Altoona student athletes can sign up for Sports Performance to enhance their abilities, no matter what sport they play. A custom program will be designed for each person and will help to prevent injury. Athletes go through exercises such as weight lifting, pull ups, lunges, biking, and so much more.
“I was a professional hockey player for four years. I got hurt in 2013, and during the rehab process, I decided to open this gym,” Dorman says.
Dorman’s education includes a Bachelor’s Degree of Exercise Science at California University of Pennsylvania, Functional Movement System Certification, USA Weightlifting Level Two Coach, National Association of Speed and Explosiveness and Crossfit Level One.
