WHO WE ARE

Hybrid Athlete provides a unique blend of evidence based, field tested training solutions both on-site and online. We first opened 2016 at an athletic training facility in Methuen Massachusetts. From these humble beginnings, we have become known around the Merrimack Valley for our coaching programming and our training philosophy.

We have been called upon by some of the top university, preparatory, high School & youth organizations in the Northeast. Until recently, our fitness experience was confined to athletes who were able to train within our facility walls, but Coming soon, our training will be available from anywhere in the world via the Hybrid Athlete Online Training Portal.

WHERE WE WANT TO GO

We are on a mission to empower as many athletes as possible with an all-embracing philosophy regarding the mind, body, and spirit. We believe that if all athletes have access to the best tools and knowledge, they will be able to achieve their fullest potential, both on and off the playing field.  Performance on all levels!

BRAND BELIEF

Whether you are an elite performer or an athlete new to your journey, Our pledge is to help you be the most fully-developed athlete you can be—in your body and in your life. From the basics of fitness and eating right to the complex avenues of sports performance & mental development, we’re here to help show you the proven formula that we live and breath by at Hybrid Athlete.

 

Hybrid Athlete can be summarized in three words: Total. Athlete. Optimization. As our founder Brendon Medugno likes to say, “Be brave and take risks. Trust your instincts to make unexpected choices that push you beyond your comfort zone. The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph”
