Today’s student athlete endures long and often consecutive sports seasons. Many young athletes are overtrained and overstressed. Equip Training is designed to support individual training objectives and thoughtfully prepare athletes for a sport's physical and mental demands.
Equip offers whole team, small group and individual training. Our athletes build strength, power, increase speed and explore what it means to compete with a respectful, competitive mindset. We teach safe movement patterns designed to reduce incidence of injuries that, unfortunately, can occur during both training and competition.
The revenue gained from these programs allows Equip to fund a variety of social impact programs. Check out some of the work we have done HERE. We are committed to providing education, access, equipment and training to all. Contact us if you think we can help!

Julie Shepherd is Equip's Training Director. Julie always wanted to be a trainer and loves working with kids. As her daughters were getting older, her passion to train teen athletes grew. She really wanted to make a difference in injury reduction for teens after hearing about the increased knee injuries kids, girls in particular, were sustaining in sports. Julie is a Certified CrossFit Coach, CrossFit Kids Coach and a Functional Strength Coach. When Equip was formed, Julie began to focus on teen athletics strength and conditioning. Her commitment to teen training led her to research and educational opportunities at Stanford University, shadowing their strength sessions on campus. She continues to bring her knowledge and passion to local athletes and schools including San Marin High School, Novato High, Sonoma Academy, Santa Rosa United and Marin FC. Let us help!

Rebuild and return to sport during this 4-week training session. Our focus is to rebuild capacity and movement technique. The intent is to safely reintroduce training in a controlled manner to reduce the risk of injury when our athletes are able to safely return to their sports. We will focus on three main areas:
Training Sessions will take place twice a week on Tuesday & Thursday. Training begins Tuesday, January 5th with the final session taking place Thursday, January 28th. Register early. We can only take a maximum of 10 athletes for each session. Cost is $160 per athlete.
Equipment will be thoroughly disinfected between each use. Participants and staff will all be required to take their temperature upon arrival and wash/disinfect their hands before entering the training area. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy space for our athletes. If you would like to know more about the best practices we intend to follow, please visit www.marinrecovers.com
Equip believes training should be accessible to all athletes. Full and partial scholarships are always available. Please email julie@equipsports.org to apply.
Private Training (1-hour sessions) - $75/hr - initial session includes an assessment
Semi-Private Training (1-hour sessions) - 2-4 athletes, $35/hr per athlete - initial assessment includes assessment
What to expect in the assessment:
We do our best to reduce the risk of knee injuries with proper warm ups/cool downs and strength training, but unfortunately all injuries cannot be prevented. If you have sustained a knee injury, our coaches are experienced with ACLr through all stages of recovery. We work closely with your physician and/or physical therapist to create a comprehensive plan/program to get you back on the pitch, field or court.
Armed Forces candidates, ROTC members, law enforcement officers and firefighters face rigorous physical programs and assessments. Equip provides customized strength and endurance training, giving you the confidence to perform to the best of your ability.

Congratulations! You are a collegiate athlete. This is not an easy feat, but the hard work has just begun. Most receive a packet of summer conditioning from the coaching staff outlining the fitness expectations during the offseason. As we all know, getting a spot on a team is hard enough, but keeping it can be just as difficult. Our role is to prepare you to arrive for the first day of training at your peak level of fitness and make an immediate impact.
Ongoing training will cost $99/month - athletes can attend up to 3 training sessions per week.
Your first session will include a thorough assessment by Coach Julie Shepherd.
Equip offers classes for the college athlete over holiday breaks (Thanksgiving, Winter break, Spring break, etc). These sessions are a perfect way to stay in shape while home for the Holidays.
