As our business has evolved and grown during the past couple of years, many athletes have been asking us about visiting on a short-term basis and then continue with their training closer to home. So, the topic of how long you need to visit with us at RPP, when traveling a distance, is a great topic to go over.
The good news is that we offer remote training across all the disciplines, strength training, pitching and hitting. So, you CAN visit with us for a short-stay and then train on a remote basis, or choose to stay longer altogether. Your options are as follows:
-
- 2-days (initial assessment)
- 5-days (assessment and introduction to programming)
- Longer Stays (assessment and training)
2-day Option – Initial Assessment
The 2-day option is about the assessment and data collection. It requires two days, during which we perform a complete assessment covering the following topics:
For Pitchers
-
-
- Movement Assessment
- Power Testing
- Strength Testing
- Pitching Mechanics – 4-Camera Video
- Ball Movement (Rapsodo)
- Bullpen (30-40 pitches for data collection)
- Insight Camera (ball release video)
-
For Position Players
-
-
- Movement Assessment
- Power Testing
- Strength Testing
- Hitting Mechanics – Video

On day 2, we will also review the results with you and begin to assemble a plan of action going forward. If you’re interested in more details on the specific days activities please click on the links here for the pitchers 2-day option and players 2-day option.
5-day Option – Assessment and Intro to Programming
The 5-day option includes the above assessment period and an additional 3-days to get acclimated with the strength and skills programming which are fully customized and designed around your strengths and weaknesses.
Below are links to expanded summaries of specific days activities:
Longer Stays – Assessment and Training
Whether you’re a pitcher or a player, our training is five days per week and there is much that gets done every single day. On a daily basis, from your initial warm-up to working on pitching/hitting, strength training and post activity recovery work, you can expect to spend a minimum of 2-3 hours at the gym.
