"Success in life comes when you simply refuse to give up, having goals so strong that obstacles like failure, and loss only act as motivation." Chris Hagerty (@chagerty87) has done an outstanding job the last few months fighting through adversity, and has made tremendous strides despite coming off of an injury. We can't wait to see Chad's hard work pay off on the field as he gets ready for his upcoming season with The San Diego Sockers (@sandiegosockers). #Repost #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #Monday #MondayMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

We want to commend all our Elite and Competitive Athletes for their commitment and hard work this summer. In order to win and be successful during the season one must first win the offseason. Training over the offseason is essential in one's preparation and sets the tone for their upcoming season. #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #OffSeason #Elite #Competitive (at Activ8 Athleticism)

There is no better feeling than being able to improve your body each and everyday from working out/training. The gain in health, wellness, and performance is something of value for eternity. #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Big shout out to Nick (@nickpeezy20) and Anthony (@antpayne24) of Sacramento State (@sacramentostate). It was a real pleasure coaching/training you two throughout the summer. Your dedication and commitment to excellence this offseason will undoubtedly catapult your success this year. We are looking forward to watching you both have a big season of shut down defense on the corners. Best of luck and we will see you in the winter for your training for Sacramento State ProDay. #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #Football #SacramentoState (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Tall kneel kettle bell get ups are an excellent total body exercise, targeting our quads, glutes, shoulders, grip strength, and core. This exercise will also work on hip mobility and shoulder stability making it a great functional exercise. The kettle bells are bottom up to focus on grip strength and to make it more dynamic, stability wise for our shoulders. #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #TuesdayTip (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Strength is not on how much an athlete can lift, but how much effort they put in.  #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #Monday #MondayMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Training isn't meant to be easy. There are days that seem impossible to push through. But just because it's tough doesn't mean it can't be fun. Take a step back, look around, and realize how lucky you are to have the opportunity to train side by side with your friends and improve your skills in the sport(s) you love.  #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #Football #NFL (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Walking lunge with a twist is a great way to warm up our lower, mid, and upper body. Make sure your back knee is 2 inches off the ground and your eyes follow your arms while rotating. Throw these into your next warm up! #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Mitchell Van Dyk (@mitchhellvik64) of the Indianapolis Colts (@colts) working hard this off season at Activ8. Can't wait to see you playing on Sunday's!

All sports involving raising our hands above our head, (yes that's you too surfers) can place a lot of stress on your rotator cuffs. Our curriculums are designed to address proper usage and development of these muscles. Pictured is a banded RTC flexion exercise. While performing this keep your elbow directly across from your shoulder with your arm bent at 90 degrees. Rotate your hand down towards the ground while maintaining the 90 degree bend in your arm. Make sure you're rotating off of your bicep and not bringing your elbow back behind you or towards the ground. Strengthening these muscles will keep you in the water and in the game! #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation #Monday #MondayMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Pictured is our Performance Fitness Program (Adult Fitness) performing our landmine presses and battle ropes. This circuit will predominately target building strength within our shoulders.

Receivers better be keeping their head on a swivel with Eric Pinkins (@pinkins47) roaming the middle this season.

1/2 Kneel Kettle Bell Chop. The half kneel position is a regression of a split stance. We start all of our athletes in this position. If they can prove to us that their core is stable with a shortened lever (knee) then we progress them to a long lever (foot) standing split stance. There are no assumptions in our programming, at Activ8 you must prove you're ready to advance an exercise.   #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)

Medicine Ball Side Tosses are a great way to develop rotational power. Baseball swing, lacrosse shot, hockey slap shot, soccer kick, and pitching all have one key component... rotation! #Activ8Athlete #Activ8Educates #Strength #Holistic #Athlete #Training #Fitness #Exercise #Performance #Sports #Healthy #Lifestyle #HealthyLifestyle #SoCal #Carlsbad #SanDiego #FitnessMotivation (at Activ8 Athleticism)
