We have major news #VoltFamily…meet Circuit Workouts!
As our lives have changed over the past few months, so have our fitness habits. Our At-Home programs have been so popular with athletes training at home, we added more variety and functionality to make them more effective long-term. With our latest release, you’ll experience a totally new way of training that’s hands-free, audio-guided, and fun.
Read MoreLet’s be real: it’s a strange, scary time in our world right now. And while a workout routine can seem like the least of our worries, if you’re like me, physical activity is an important method for staying healthy and managing anxiety, especially in uncertain times. If you can’t get to the gym (or if your living room has become your gym for the foreseeable future), here are 3 quick tips on how to modify your Volt workouts to fit your equipment—even if your only equipment is your own bodyweight.
Read MoreWe’re always looking for ways to provide the Volt Family with more opportunities to optimize your training for your unique environment. We understand that sometimes you might need to shorten a training session, to make it work for your team’s schedule. Or maybe you’d like to add an additional mobility-focused session at the end of the training week, to help facilitate active recovery. We hear you—and our new training editor is here to help you make Volt your own like never before.
Read MoreThe Volt Family has been requesting this feature for a while, and we couldn’t be more excited to announce that with our latest update…you can now search our movement library when you’re making a replacement!

Read MoreWe’ve been working since 2011 to help athletes train the right way for their sport and performance goals. Now, we’ve taken another step towards that goal with the launch of our new athlete app!

Read MoreI see and hear it all the time: “Is it ok for my (healthy) son or daughter or my team to lift weights?” or “I heard that kids shouldn’t lift weights before they’re done growing.”
Where does this view come from? There are a few fallacies that parents and coaches often subscribe. I’ve addressed these comments and questions countless times, and have developed a downloadable PDF handout that is a helpful resource for coaches to share with parents, or for parents to share with other parents (and sometimes coaches).
Read MoreGetting athletes to take lifting seriously is often easier said than done. Without any interest in the process, there is little you can do besides patiently wait for their minds to change. Making athletes do something they don’t want to do only leads to a stronger aversion to that specific activity. The introduction of training places a challenge on pre-existing habits and routines, and can be frustrating to break if they aren’t conducive to the new demand of training. The creation of new habits, routines, and environments will be necessary for the success of your training program. Inside, you’ll see four strategies to help athletes build habits that support consistent and committed strength training.

Since we launched Volt, curious coaches have asked to take the platform for a spin and see for themselves what our technology has to offer. Now, with the launch of our brand-new (and totally free) demo, every coach everywhere can explore Volt’s world-class training platform on their own time.

However, from the perspective of a young athlete stepping into the weight room for the first time, it can be difficult to accept the type of commitment it will take to see the benefits of strength training. To be fair, from an athlete’s point of view, it makes sense! If that’s the case…how should you, as a coach, build interest and commitment in the weight room?
