A quick note about our Sports Performance programs…

Dear Friend,

My name is Rob Akers, Owner and Head Coach of Akers Of Strength Training Systems.

Sports and training have played a significant role in my life, and I genuinely understand the powerful influence they can have in shaping the lives of young individuals.

Whether your aspirations involve pursuing college sports, a professional career, or if you’re just fueled by a genuine love for intense gym sessions, the lasting impact of your dedication is substantial.

Why? Because dedication to a sport and training are about much more than simply “winning”

It’s about finding your true self and becoming your best. It’s about building a path to long-term success, not just for now, but for the weeks, months, and years to come.

We’ve had the privilege of working with over 100 student athletes from the Chester and Delaware County areas.

Our students have achieved remarkable success, competing at renowned universities, enlisting in elite armed forces units, and establishing records in local and national strength sports.

We are very proud of this community and we want to share it with you and your family!

Here’s What You Can Expect From Our Sports Performance Program:

Our Sports Performance Program is meticulously crafted to elevate your child’s performance to a higher level of competition.

By laying down a strong athletic foundation and honing in on their distinct objectives, your son or daughter can attain these enhancements in a significantly shorter span.

This approach not only streamlines their progress but also lessens the demands placed on both the athlete and parent, making the journey more manageable and rewarding.

In essence, our program expedites the path from their current position to their desired level of achievement.

But don’t just take my word for it! Scroll to read the reviews and positive changes according to students athletes and parents just like you!

AOS is NOT the type of gym where you put your headphones in and wonder what everyone is thinking about you. It is the type of gym that makes you want to stay longer after completing a 2 hour lift. I have been lifting with Rob since 2020. The atmosphere in the gym is so positive and uplifting. Everyone there cheers you on and pushes you to be your best. I am a Junior Field Hockey Player at the University of Scranton and I have become a much better player because of Rob. Rob has taught me so much, not only about lifting, but also about nutrition and how the lifts I am doing apply directly to my sport. Awesome place. Awesome environment. Awesome trainer. If you want to be fit and have a great time doing it - AOS is the place to go.

This is the best gym around for personal training and excellent weight lifting programs. I have been going here for the past 4 years and wouldn’t have wanted to go to any other gym. The atmosphere is amazing and always positive. I have met so many great people lifting here who I would have never met without Akers. Coach rob is someone who we all can come to with questions about lifting or life.

This is by far one of the best gyms I have been at. This owner is personable and will give you fantastic workouts to do. I genuinely enjoy going here to lift and meet the great community that has been built there. I highly recommend here for athletes but also people who just wish to get into shape.

I've been training with Rob for about two years now, and I can't provide enough gratitude to him for his tutelage and expertise in obtaining my fitness goals. I'm a 20 year old guy with a background in wrestling, but before Rob, I never seriously considered powerlifting as an option to traditional training. Since then, I've gained about 20 pounds of muscle mass and my combined numbers across squat, bench, and deadlift have increased over 400 pounds. I would highly recommend his establishment and his character to anyone considering a private and personal training style gym.

I have been working out with Rob for over a year now. I played this past football season at Maryland for football. I came to Rob last year around February and Rob helped develop me into being able to compete for a starting job at Maryland as a freshman. He is very well knowledgeable on lifting and dieting and everything when it comes to strength and conditioning. The gym is top tier with great equipment. Every time I come home the first place I head to is Akers. The culture at Akers is a family. We come here and lift and have fun while doing it. Would highly recommend to any age group.

To me what makes AOS stand out is the environment. Me personally, I found it to be most favorable because of the body of high school athletes that train here but it’s also very diverse. This place has great energy and never fails to pick up a bad day.

Highly recommend going to this gym, I’m 16 and I’ve went to this gym for a year now and I love it! I’m currently competing in powerlifting thanks to Coach Rob. He has fixed my form a bunch and increased my strength a crazy amount. He’s very knowledgeable in nutrition and athletics. Rob is a fantastic coach, you should consider checking this place out.

I have been training at akers of strength for about a year now and it has been an amazing experience. The trainer (Rob) is top-notch and really know how to push you to your limits while still being supportive and encouraging. They take the time to understand your fitness goals and tailor the workouts to meet your individual needs. The facility itself is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with the latest and greatest fitness equipment. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and I always feel comfortable working out here. What sets this gym apart from others I have been to is the personalized attention and focus on technique and form. Rob is always making sure I am doing the exercises correctly and safely, which has helped me avoid injury and make faster progress towards my fitness goals. Overall, I highly recommend Akers to anyone looking for a supportive and effective fitness experience. Rob is amazing, the facility is top-notch, and the results speak for themselves.

How To Get Started

All of our student athletes started the same way, with our introductory program known as the Athletic Quick-Start Course!

This course gives us a chance to assess your son’s or daughter’s current abilities, level of fitness, and goals for progress.

But first, let me ask you some questions:

• Are you worried about your child’s readiness for high school competition?
• Are you concerned about their safe lifting techniques and mental preparedness?
• Are you looking for a setting that’s notably challenging yet also engaging and enjoyable?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you’re not alone. These are common concerns we often hear from parents during our initial discussions.
