Yamar Washington is a Sports Performance Coach specializing in Speed and Conditioning.  With well over a decade of experience working with young athletes to improve their performance, as well as adults looking to upgrade their fitness, Yamar develops integrative fitness plans that combine holistic health, flexibility, interval training, cardiovascular training, and strength development.  Having been a high performance athlete in both rugby and football, Yamar utilizes his own experiences in the sports world to construct workouts.

"I went through several fitness certification programs, but training to get into an NFL camp or catch the eye of USA Rugby were my greatest teachers.  I basically tested out different training regimes on myself, learned from top sports fitness gurus, and noticed what brought out the best results." 

Furthermore, Yamar believes that a strong mind-body connection leads to optimal results in not just fitness, but in a person's overall life.

"Talk to your body.  It will do what you say.  Look in the mirror.  Be good to yourself.  Tell yourself that you're smart, good-looking, successful, and whatever else you desire.  Believe it to your core, and the world will shape around those beliefs to make them real." 

Yamar is a graduate of Indiana University with a Bachelor's of Arts in Communication and Culture, an English minor, and a Management Certification through the Liberal Arts and Management Program. He also holds a USA Weightlifting Certification and a USA Track and Field Certification.
