Schedule Your SessionTwo Ways to Train With Us
Group classes on a seasonal schedule, or 1-on-1 attention any time of year.
Group Performance Classes
Small-group training in a competitive, motivating environment with sport-specific drills. We run two series each year — a 12-week winter series and an 8-week summer series — split into age-appropriate groups.
1-on-1 Training
Available year round, in and out of season. A performance plan built for your sport, your position, and your goals, with coaching and progressions adjusted every session.
Group Classes: How They Work
Two series a year, two age groups, athletes training alongside teammates and competitors their own age.
Winter Series — 12 Weeks
Our longest block of the year, built for off-season development: strength, power, and movement quality while competition schedules are light. Twelve weeks is long enough to make real, measurable change.
Summer Series — 8 Weeks
An 8-week block timed for the run-up to fall sports. Speed, agility, conditioning, and preparing bodies to handle the jump back into practices and tryouts.
Grades 3–6
Younger athletes train the fundamentals: how to sprint, land, cut, decelerate, and control their bodies. Coaching is age-appropriate and heavy on movement skill, coordination, and confidence — not maxing out.
Grades 7–12
Middle and high school athletes progress into true strength and power development, sport-specific speed work, and the injury-prevention work that matters most as training volume and competition ramp up.
Small Groups, Real Coaching
Group training here still means eyes on your athlete. Every rep is coached, and technique gets corrected before it becomes a habit — or an injury.
Clinically Informed
Because we're a physical therapy clinic, we can spot a movement problem or a nagging issue early and adjust, instead of training straight through it.
What We Actually Train
Every program is built from the same foundation, then tailored to the athlete and the sport.
Speed
Sprint mechanics, acceleration, and top-end speed — the most transferable athletic quality there is.
Agility & Change of Direction
Cutting, decelerating, and reacting. Most non-contact injuries happen in these moments, so we train them deliberately.
Strength
Progressive, technically coached strength work that builds the foundation everything else sits on.
Power & Explosiveness
Jumping, landing, and rate of force development for athletes who need to be explosive on demand.
Mobility & Movement Quality
Range of motion and control, so athletes can get into strong positions instead of compensating.
Injury Prevention
Targeted work for the areas that break down most in youth sport — knees, ankles, shoulders, and low backs.
Conditioning
Sport-specific work capacity so your athlete is still competing well in the fourth quarter.
Recovery
How to manage load, sleep, and soreness across a long season instead of running on empty by playoffs.
Who We Train
Athletes at every level, from first-time competitors to college prospects.
Youth athletes, grades 3–6
Building movement skill and confidence early, in a setting that's supportive rather than intimidating.
Middle and high school athletes
Grades 7–12 working on speed, strength, and staying healthy through a full season.
Multi-sport athletes
Managing training loads across overlapping seasons without burning out or breaking down.
College prospects
Athletes training for the physical demands and standards of the next level.
Athletes coming off rehab
Finished physical therapy but not truly back? We bridge the gap between cleared and confident.
Adult and masters athletes
Weekend competitors and lifelong athletes who still want to get faster and stronger.
How to Get Started
Whether you're joining a class or training 1-on-1, it starts the same way.
1. Reach Out
Call or send us a message and tell us the athlete's sport, age or grade, and goals — plus any injury history we should know about.
2. Movement Screen
We assess how the athlete moves, where the limitations are, and any injury risk worth addressing before loading them up.
3. Pick Your Format
Join the next group series, start 1-on-1 sessions, or do both. We'll tell you honestly which fits the athlete better.
4. Train and Reassess
Programming progresses as the athlete does, and we retest so improvement is something you can actually see on paper.
Why Athletes Train at Faith in Motion
- Coached by doctors of physical therapy — we understand how injuries happen, which makes us better at preventing them.
- We screen before we train. Every athlete gets assessed first, so the program addresses their actual limitations.
- Rehab and performance under one roof. If something flares up, treatment is in the same building with people who already know the athlete.
- Small groups, real coaching. Technique gets corrected rep by rep rather than lost in a crowded class.
- Age-appropriate programming. A 4th grader and a high school junior need very different training, and they get it here.
- Built for local athletes. We know the sports and seasons in Putnam County and program around them.
- Early morning availability. We open at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday, so training can happen before school or work.
Common Questions
More answers in the FAQ at the bottom of this page.
When do the group classes run?
We offer two series a year: a 12-week winter series and an 8-week summer series. The winter block focuses on off-season strength and power development, and the summer block prepares athletes for fall sports. Call 304-760-9664 or message us to find out when the next series starts and to get your athlete on the list — groups fill up.
What age groups are the classes for?
Classes are split into two groups: grades 3–6 and grades 7–12. Splitting them matters. Younger athletes need to learn how to sprint, land, cut, and control their bodies, while older athletes are ready for real strength, power, and sport-specific work.
What if the class series isn't running right now?
That's what our 1-on-1 sessions are for — they're available year round. Plenty of athletes do 1-on-1 work between series, or use it alongside a class to address something specific like a position demand or a past injury.
Is my athlete too young, or not good enough, to start?
Almost certainly not. Athletes in grades 3–6 aren't lifting heavy weights — they're learning to move well, which is the single best investment a young athlete can make. And this isn't only for starters and standouts. Most of our athletes just want to get faster, stronger, and stay healthy.
Can this help prevent injuries like ACL tears?
That's a core part of what we do. Strength, landing mechanics, and change-of-direction training are the best tools we have for reducing non-contact injury risk in youth athletes, and they're built into every program rather than treated as an add-on.
Is sports performance training covered by insurance?
Performance training is a self-pay service, not a billed medical visit — so there's no deductible to meet and no claim to file. If your athlete has pain or an injury, that's physical therapy instead, and we can bill it. Not sure which one you need? Call us and we'll help you figure it out.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What insurance and payment options does Faith in Motion accept?
Faith in Motion is a hybrid physical therapy practice offering both insurance and private pay options. We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield/ Anthem and PEIA of West Virginia. In addition to our in-network billing we offer various private pay options and payment plans that are often cheaper than using your in network plan if you have a high deductible plan. We pride ourselves in transparent pricing so you will never receive a surprise bill at the end of care. Call us today at 304-760-9664 for a free benefits check.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
Your initial evaluation will be a 60 minute session with a doctor of physical therapy where you will undergo a thorough assessment of your injury. You will be given a custom treatment plan following the evaluation to get you back to being pain free and achieving your goals. During your first appointment, expect to also receive some hands on treatments and exercises you can start on day 1 to help you feel better. Following your appointment, your therapist will send you an email follow up explaining the results of your evaluation as well as video links to your homework exercises.
What Should I wear?
At Faith in Motion we believe heavily in getting you up and active as soon as possible. Please arrive in comfy athletic clothing and be prepared to move.
Do I need a referral from a Doctor?
No you do not. In the state of WV, physical therapy is a direct access service meaning you can call us and make an appointment directly and skip the trip to the orthopedic or primary care physician.
