Welcome to the Nationally known Barry Lovelace Athlete Training Academy, home of Lehigh Valley's Results Oriented Sports Performance Facility. One on One Athlete Training is our specialty along with, and most importantly, 'TRAINING SMART'. There are no 'cookie cutter' programs at our Lehigh Valley athlete training facility. This approach is how we are able to turn average athletes into Strong and Explosive "Above Average" Athletes changing their overall performance on their field of play. Athletes don't come here to just 'workout', they come here to 'train with a purposeful meaning' and help improve their overall sports performance to include Strength, Power and Explosiveness. We accomplish this by performing Safe, Effective and Very Specific athlete training, not your typical traditional training you find at most places. This all happens by focusing on the athlete's needs for both their sport and the position they play. Bottom line: If you train here, you WILL achieve the results you're looking for.

What a Difference a Season Makes

 

Pictured above: All-State, All-Area and First-Team Colonial League catcher Kelsey Simpkins, from Notre Dame High School, is performing one of the many exercises that helped go from average to All-State. She went from one of the slowest on her team her Junior year to running out infield hits her Senior year . Focusing on the athlete and THEIR needs is what the Barry Lovelace Training Academy is ALL about.

 

"My daughter is a varsity softball player. We were very fortunate to find Barry Lovelace. Not only has he improved her pop-time, but he has taken one of the slowest runners on the team and made her fast enough to out run an infield hit. Barry has an enjoyable personality and he makes Kelsey's training experience fun. We truly feel his facility is the best training facility around!"

What you will find is a fun, energetic, motivating and caring atmosphere. That’s what the Barry Lovelace Athlete Training Academy is all about – THE ATHLETE.

Barry 
I just wanted to take a second and reach out to you and thank you for the work you have been doing with Madisyn. Not only has she improved physically, but something I have not seen in her is she has become more confident in herself. For some reason she has struggled with self confidence and with your help we see that improving.

It’s nice to see that smile on her face when she sees all her hard work pay off.

 

Thanks again and I am really glad we are working with you. 

Thanks

5X Lehigh Valley Personal Trainer of the Year

barry lovelace sports performance trainer lehigh valley pa jump training

Hello and thank you for visiting the home of The Barry Lovelace Athlete Training Academy. My name is Barry Lovelace and I have always had a passion for fitness. In 2003 when I was downsized from my corporate world job this passion turned into a means of income.

Honestly, training, coaching and  helping athletes is not a job. In fact I love what I do so much that you will hear me say, "I haven't worked since 2003!"

It's a true honor to work with athletes in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas. To see their smiling faces and happiness when their goals are achieved is simply, PRICELESS.

 

As an All-State wrestler here in the Lehigh Valley, the #1 Wrestling District in the country , and someone who has been at the highest level of League, District and Regional action both as an athlete and coach, as well as an All-League football player I know what it takes to achieve to get there. Having also been involved with sports for over 40 years I understand all sports from a movement and functional standpoint. Which is why thousands of athletes who have trained here are seeing amazing results. 

"Train with a purposeful meaning" and 'Question Traditional Wisdom' are my philosophies. Your son, daughter or team WILL train with a purposeful meaning not only for the sport they play, but the position as well. Whatever your sport, I am here to help.

Increasing Power & Explosiveness, Improving Quickness & Reaction, Increasing Vertical Jump, Improving Swing Speed and Improving Overall Sports Performance after just a few sessions is what you will get when you use this style of training here at the academy. There are no ''one size fits all'' or ''cookie cutter' programs here. Also, your athlete will train with me and me only as I do not have any other trainers here.  

Training is conducted in a non-intimidating, yet motivating atmosphere. You will get someone who cares about YOU (the athlete) and YOUR (the athlete) results - PERIOD.

Women's Health, Men's Health and Men's Fitness are just a few of the media outlets where my exercises and tips have been featured.

​

Thank you again for visiting and I look forward to seeing you at the Academy soon.

​

In Good Health,

Barry Lovelace
