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...

"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 15-20 pounds of muscle while improving my speed and quickness. I'm glad I chose RSS and recommend it to others as well."
