Structured speed and strength development for middle and high school athletes serving Gresham and surrounding areas.
SERVING GRESHAM · CLACKAMAS COUNTY
If you're a Gresham parent searching for youth strength training, you're almost always after the same thing: progress your athlete can actually feel on the field or court.
Gresham is a big east-county town with a deep youth-sports scene, and families from across the Gophers, Sam Barlow, and Centennial communities want more than a generic gym session for their kids. At Take5, athletes ages 8–18 train in two tiers — Youth Foundations for ages 8–11 and Athlete Performance for ages 12–18 — so a fourth-grader and a varsity sophomore each get coaching built for where they are.
From Gresham, the trip to our facility in Damascus is a short hop down I-205, roughly twenty to twenty-five minutes door to door. That makes it realistic to train here two to four times a week without eating up an entire evening, and it keeps your athlete inside a coach-led program built for real athletic development rather than busywork.
At Take5 Athletics, we train athletes with a system built around speed, strength, and movement quality - so they gain confidence, reduce injury risk, and perform at a higher level.

Included with every youth program
Every athlete is set up in the Take5 Athletics app on day one. Their program, their roadmap, their numbers — so the work carries on between sessions and you can both see exactly how far they have come.
Seven stages, from baseline assessment through force production. Your athlete always knows where they are and what unlocks next.
Today's session and the full week's schedule on the home screen — plus recovery, hydration and fuel at a glance.
A full exercise library filtered by muscle or equipment, each with a video demo — so form is never guesswork when we are not in the room.
Calorie, protein, carb and fat targets with water tracking. Log a meal by search, barcode, label or photo.
Journaling, guided breathing, mindfulness and pre-game routines — the part of sport most young athletes are never taught.
Personal records and session history in one place, with benchmark re-tests every six weeks. Real numbers, not a feeling.
Free with every youth program — set up at the free evaluation, no extra cost, ever.

Most athletes train 2–4 days per week depending on age, sport schedule, and training experience. Frequency is finalized during the evaluation.
We track sprint timing, jump performance, movement quality, and strength benchmarks. Athletes are re-tested every ~6 weeks so gains are always visible and documented.
Yes. We build around your athlete's actual season - in-season vs off-season, practice load, and game calendar - so training pushes performance when it should and protects recovery when it matters.
