COMPETE Strength & Conditioning — Attraction in Norwood

Compete Strength & Conditioning is the best place to train if you’re serious about taking your game to the next level. The coaching here is top-tier—every coach is knowledgeable, experienced, and truly invested in your success. They don’t just run you through workouts; they teach, correct, and push you to be your best.

One of the biggest things that sets this program apart is how well it prepares you for high school and especially for college athletics. The training isn’t just about getting stronger—it’s about developing the speed, explosiveness, and durability you need to compete at the next level. Every session is designed with long-term success in mind, making sure you’re not just improving now but setting yourself up for future performance.

What really makes Compete stand out is how individualized the programming is. No two athletes are the same, and the coaches take the time to build workouts based on your specific sport, position, goals, and needs. Whether you’re looking to get faster, stronger, or more explosive, they tailor everything to fit you.

Speed is a game-changer in every sport, and the program here makes sure you get faster. The training includes sprint mechanics, acceleration drills, and explosive movements that translate directly to better on-field performance. If you want to separate yourself from the competition, this is the place to do it.

And beyond all the serious training, every session is fun. The energy in the gym is unmatched—you’re surrounded by athletes who are all working hard and pushing each other, and the coaches know how to make training fun while still getting the most out of you.

What really makes Compete special is that it’s not just about what you do in the gym. They focus on making you better both on and off the field, with guidance on nutrition, confidence, and overall skill development. It’s a full-circle approach to becoming the best athlete (and person) you can be.

I've been an athlete at compete for a little under a year now. When I started in November, I was super excited to start as I was feeling lethargic and slow playing goalie in lacrosse for a couple of months prior. I had truly never experienced anything like it. At compete there is usually a "Pre-Lift" which includes speed work, agility, and a whole bunch of exercises that help with balance and injury prevention. I honestly thought this was the conditioning that I had heard so much about. Halfway through my first "Pre-Lift" I can feel myself getting slower, slower, and slower in the exercises. That's when I heard "Hey, Williamson, you giving up?" and "Let's go, kid!" Not only was the staff at Compete shouting words of encouragement, it was the other athletes in the same session as well. And this is probably my favorite characteristic about Compete up to this day. I have never heard any degrading or judgmental statements come from anyone about how much you can lift, or what your physical appearance is, etc. Only encouragement. In addition to this, the workouts there never fail to get me hyped up with music playing in the background and the staff's support. When it comes to conditioning, especially in the beginning, it may seem impossible, but after, you feel amazing. For the first month I was there, I knew I would feel good after a workout which kept me going but then I really started to see all of my work translating on the lacrosse field and that's when I knew I had to keep going to Compete. Compete may not be for everyone, but if you want to elevate your play in a fun, enjoyable, rewarding way in whichever sport you play, I highly recommend Compete as it has worked for me and...
