While Pvolve is incredibly effective as a standalone workout routine, it can also help you reach peak performance in some of your favorite sports, including tennis, pickleball, and golf! The emphasis on mobility, strength, power and agility makes this method the perfect complement to any athletic activity.
Here are 5 ways the Pvolve Method can improve your sports performance:
1. Improves full body mobility
With Pvolve, you move your body in all planes of motion – front to back, side to side, and rotationally - to increase range of motion in your ankles, hips, spine, shoulders, and more! More mobility can help with reaching your racquet high overhead, add strength to your golf or tennis swing, improve your walking or running gait cycle, and more!
2. Builds full body strength and muscle mass
Pvolve uses resistance equipment and heavy weights to build and maintain strength in all muscle groups, both big and small! Strength training also supports your joints, improves posture, and keeps your bones strong. Ultimately this all works to improve power and athleticism.
3. Improves agility
In Pvolve’s Sculpt & Burn and cardio-based classes, there is a focus on jumps and fast footwork, challenging your body to change directions quickly, accelerate and decelerate speed, increase stamina, and keep you moving swiftly across the court. They also focus on moving well through your joints, whether landing from a jump or taking off from one leg to the other to reduce the chance of injury.
4. Increases power
If you’ve ever taken a Pvolve class, you probably heard the trainers talk about your feet! The Pvolve method teaches how to create power from the ground up, transferring energy from the floor through the lower body, and into the upper body – ultimately enhancing the force and power of your swings! This method targets fast-twitch muscle fibers with heavier loads in Progressive Weight Training to help create explosive movements, as these muscle fibers are essential for generating power. This kind of training becomes even more important as we age, since muscle mass naturally declines every year.
5. Improves core support
Pvolve teaches you how to coordinate your movements with your breath and abdominals, creating more stability and support. This can eliminate excessive movement in the lower back and gain more power and rotation in your hips and thoracic spine to improve your game. Core support impacts the overall coordination of your body, harnessing more power and control in your movements without the usual wear and tear of impact activities.
We've created our Pvolve Sports Calendar full of classes that will help elevate your sports game, with a special nod to golf, pickleball and tennis. Check it out!
