RSS may not be for you. You will not find TVs, air conditioning, a pro shop, fancy locker rooms, or easy-listening music. What you will find are highly knowledgeable coaches that emphasize exceptional technique in an environment that promotes hard work and self improvement. Our athletes not only become better on the field or court, they become the most technically sound lifters of their schools and learn exercise skills that will last a lifetime. read more about the program...


"I recommend Ross Strength and Speed to anyone wanting to improve their athleticism, change their physique, and reduce their chances of injury on the field or court. Their attention to teaching proper exercise technique insures parents of young athletes that they will learn safe lifting form that is often overlooked in school workouts. I not only recommend RSS to others, I train there myself!"

-Dr. Eric Gordon, Fellowship trained in Sports Medicine, Arkansas Specialty Orthopedics and team physician for Catholic High School


"Sean Ross is one of the top up and coming strength coaches in the business. Sean is constantly working to improve his athletes and improve the quality of his programming. If you want cutting edge training in Little Rock, get to Ross Strength and Speed."

-Mike Boyle, World renowned strength and conditioning expert


"Ross Strength and Speed has helped me to develop into a well rounded athlete and has prepared me for college football. RSS taught me the importance of technique in lifting weights and helped me increase my strength greatly in the 6+ months I trained there. I was able to gain 27 pounds of muscle while improving my speed and quickness. I'm glad I chose RSS and recommend it to others as well."

-Spencer Keith, Arkansas high school record setting quarterback and winner of the 2008 Lander's Award for the State's Most Outstanding Player, now a Kent State University freshman and the starting quarterback for the Golden Flashes
