Derek Troyer – Personal Trainer

Personal Trainer in Columbus – What’s up! I’m Derek Troyer, a passionate sports performance coach dedicated to helping athletes reach their full potential and achieve greatness on and off the field. With a deep love for sports and a background in exercise science, I have spent years honing my skills and knowledge to empower athletes to unlock their body’s true potential and building a warrior mindset.

My journey into the world of sports performance began early in life. As a young athlete, I was drawn to the power of training and conditioning, realizing that the right guidance and techniques could significantly enhance performance. This realization sparked my desire to hone my craft to help athletes reach their full potential.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with athletes from various sports, ranging from aspiring young talents to seasoned professionals. Each experience has taught me the unique demands of different sports and the personalized approach required to bring out the best in every athlete. From basketball to soccer, from football to track and field, I’ve honed my coaching techniques to suit the specific needs of each sport and individual.

My coaching philosophy centers on developing power, speed and building crazy bounce and explosiveness for all athletes that are looking to make a path towards their dreams. I firmly believe that success is not just about physical prowess but also mental fortitude and locking in your mindset. I work closely with my athletes to identify their strengths and weaknesses, creating customized training programs that optimize their performance while minimizing the risk of injury. Moreover, I emphasize the importance of nutrition, mobility, and recovery to ensure their bodies and minds are in peak condition.

Beyond the technical aspects of coaching, I take pride in being a mentor and a motivator. I strive to build strong connections with my athletes, inspiring them to win the daily battles and embrace the challenges that come their way. I find immense joy in witnessing their growth, not only as athletes but also as individuals who learn the value of dedication, hardwork, and perseverance.

When I’m not on the field, you can often find me playing basketball and volleyball, or gaming. I also love to keep myself in the lab, and stay updated with the latest trends and breakthroughs in the industry. My passion for learning ensures that I’m always equipped with innovative and evidence-based strategies to optimize my athletes’ performance and transformation.

In the world of sports, there’s always room for improvement, and that’s where I thrive. As a strength and performance coach, I am dedicated to empowering athletes to surpass their limits and achieve feats they once deemed impossible. Together, we embark on a journey of growth, determination, and success, and I’m committed to transforming my high school, college and professional athletes into warriors on and off the court.
