The Vision

McKenna's Gym exists to support all athletes with an intelligent, thorough, and tested program to support individual strength and sport needs.  The program is based, as all programs are, on a holistic vision of the athlete as a person.  Success in sport isn't simply lifting weights and following a percentage guide; success is based on winning the daily struggle with psychological, emotional, physical, intellectual, and technical challenges. We place rigorous demands on our athletes in order to prepare them for the rigorous demands of competition, and we strive to increasingly provide the framework and support for our athletes through a broadening and supportive program. In the words of John F. Kennedy, we train our bodies and minds with these methods "not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
