The program is an innovative and exciting youth fitness program, open to all youth in grades 1-10.  It will be fun, but with a focus on improving your
child's overall fitness level. Winter provides the perfect opportunity to gain an edge for all sports seasons, or to maintain fitness levels over the long winter
months.  Some of the benefits of this program are:

-  improve cardio-respiratory fitness
-  build self-esteem and confidence
-  improve endurance, agility, balance, and core strength
-  injury prevention
-  enhance performance in all sports

The program will be run by professional personal trainers and coaches with in depth knowledge of developing and monitoring fitness programs for all ages.   Coaches may change based on enrollment, but will include:
Jeremy Boland is currently an elementary physical education teacher in Greenwich, but has also taught at the middle, high school, and college level.  Jeremy has over 10 years experience as a trainer and strength and conditioning specialist in private, commercial and corporate settings.  In his experience of training all age groups from 6 to 70 years of age, he has learned that one thing always remains true when it comes to exercise, "It should always be fun!".

 

Bill Bogardus is the Director and Head Coach of the GTC, as well as a Level 1 Certified USA Track & Field Coach and Certified Personal Trainer. In addition to teaching Physical Education in the Greenwich Public Schools for over 10 years, he was the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Greenwich High School Wrestling Team. Bill strives to instill the values and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle into his students and athletes. His philosophy is not about winning and losing, but rather participating with full effort and having fun.

 

Dave Bruni has been coaching with the GTC since Spring 2012.  Before joining the GTC, he was the Head Freshman Football Coach at Greenwich High School since 2004.  Dave is a physical education teacher in Greenwich.  He brings his experience of coaching, and his enthusiasm and love of sport, to enhance the Snowflake Fitness program.  Dave excels in encouraging and motivating every athlete, no matter what their ability, to reach their own potential.
