At Parisi Speed School of Franklin Lakes, everything we do is intentional. Speed, strength, power, and confidence don’t happen by accident—they’re built through consistent training, proper progression, and accountability. One of the most important tools we use to support that process is the TrainHeroic app.
If your athlete trains with us at the Total Performance or Elite Sports Performance level, TrainHeroic plays a critical role in how we deliver, track, and reinforce their strength training. Here’s why it matters—and how it helps your child get better results.
Strength Training Works Best When It’s Tracked
Strength training isn’t just about “lifting weights.” It’s about progressive overload—gradually increasing what the body can handle over time. That only happens when we accurately track:
- Sets
- Repetitions
- Weight used
TrainHeroic allows our coaches and athletes to log every strength exercise performed during class. This data helps us ensure your athlete is:
- Getting stronger safely
- Progressing at the right pace
- Not guessing or repeating the same weights week after week
For youth athletes, this structure is essential. It teaches responsibility, consistency, and awareness of their own development—skills that translate far beyond the gym.
Better Coaching Through Better Data
When we can see what an athlete lifted last session, we can coach smarter the next one.
Tracking allows our staff to:
- Make informed adjustments in real time
- Spot plateaus early
- Reinforce proper loading instead of rushing progress
This protects your athlete from overtraining while ensuring they continue to improve. It also gives us objective feedback—not opinions—on how their strength is developing alongside their speed and athleticism.
Technique Videos Build Confidence Outside the Gym
One major advantage of TrainHeroic is that each program includes exercise videos demonstrating proper technique.
This means your athlete can:
- Review movements before or after sessions
- Reinforce coaching cues at home
- Feel more confident walking into class
For young athletes especially, visual learning is powerful. Watching correct technique helps reduce confusion, improve execution, and reinforce what our coaches teach on the floor.
Why We Ask Athletes to Bring Their Devices
To get the most value from the program, athletes in Total Performance and Elite Sports Performance are expected to bring a phone or iPad to each strength class.
This allows them to:
- Log sets, reps, and weights immediately
- Reference exercise videos when needed
- Stay engaged and accountable during training
Devices are used strictly for training purposes under coach supervision. This isn’t screen time—it’s a performance tool that supports learning, focus, and ownership of the training process.
Teaching Athletes to Own Their Development
One of our biggest goals is helping athletes become independent, confident movers who understand their bodies.
Using TrainHeroic:
- Teaches organization and responsibility
- Reinforces goal-setting and progress tracking
- Helps athletes see the connection between effort and results
When athletes can look back and see how far they’ve come, motivation increases—and so does confidence.
Easy Access for Families
We provide access codes for each level:
Elite Sports Performance: tp2str
Total Performance: strengthtotal
Once enrolled, both athletes and parents can see how training is structured and how progress is being made over time. You can download the app at this link.
If you have questions about setup, device use, or expectations, our staff is always happy to help!
The Bottom Line
TrainHeroic isn’t just an app—it’s an extension of our coaching. It allows us to deliver a higher-level training experience while teaching athletes habits that support long-term athletic success.
By tracking workouts, reinforcing technique, and encouraging ownership, we help your athlete train smarter—not just harder.
And that’s how strong, fast, confident athletes are built. 💪
