The History Behind Power Train

Power Train was developed with a single goal in mind: delivering results.

More than a decade ago, Power Train founder Steve Saunders developed strength and sports conditioning principles and techniques that consistently produced results for some of the top players in the NFL. Word spread, and Saunder’s Power Train Sports attracted hundreds of top professional athletes from such major sports leagues as the NFL, NHL, MLB and the NBA.Power Train’s reputation for achieving consistent positive strength and conditioning results went global. Soon, the Russian Hockey Team was traveling 5,000 miles to train with Power Train in Pennsylvania.

When Power Train made its proven, results-oriented performance training program accessible to high school and collegiate athletes, demand skyrocketed. Power Train opened 15 dedicated training facilities in six states to start meeting the demand.

In 2013, Power Train launched a new line of services for our clients with the debut of the Power Train Fitness program. Using techniques previously available only to collegiate and professional athletes, Power Train Fitness enables ambitious, results-oriented adults of all ability levels to achieve their fitness, conditioning and weight-loss goals. To meet the growing demand for Power Train Sports and Fitness programs nationwide, Steve Saunders and the Power Train team introduced the Power Train franchise opportunity to qualified individuals in 2014.

Today, Power Train company-owned and franchised locations are opening in the Northeast and beyond, enabling goal-oriented individuals in a growing number of communities to improve their speed, strength and performance, and to lead happier, healthier and more successful lives.

That’s because the Power Train training system was developed and refined for professional athletes, for those whose livelihoods and multimillion-dollar contracts could depend on achieving fast, measurable and continuous skill-specific performance results.
