You want to play at the next level.

Every coach says the same thing: you need to get bigger, get stronger, be more physical. 🗣️

None of them tells you how. Coach Bennett knows that feeling because he lived it.

In middle school and high school, he was set on earning a college baseball scholarship. Every coach told him he needed to get bigger, stronger, and more physical to play at the next level.

Nobody gave him a path to actually get there.

So he went and found it. He read everything he could find and studied strength and conditioning. He worked out how to build his velocity, power, and speed. He earned that scholarship, but he also learned the hard way that he’d trained wrong in a lot of areas.

That’s why he became a strength and conditioning coach: so young athletes get the path he never had.

At Arete Strength & Performance, Coach Bennett and our team give every athlete a clear plan:

1️⃣ Book a free assessment so we know exactly where you stand

2️⃣ Get a program built for your body, your position, and your goals

3️⃣ Train, retest, and watch your numbers climb

“Get bigger” isn’t a plan. We’ll give you one, so you never have to look back and wonder if you could have been better.

Melvin just went from 76 to 82 mph. That’s a big jump.

We believe he has a 90 mph arm in him, but there’s one thing standing in the way: his body weight.

At 163 lbs, Melvin needs more mass to produce more force. More force means more velocity.

So we sat down and built his plan together:

🎯 Short-term goal: +10 lbs of quality mass, from 163 to 173, over the next 12 weeks

🔥 Daily calories at maintenance: about 3,124

➕ Daily surplus needed: +420 calories

🍽️ New daily target: about 3,550 calories

Long term, Melvin has the frame to reach 185–190 lbs and beyond.

It starts with the discipline to track his calories every day for the next three months.

At Arete, we don’t just hand athletes a workout and hope for the best.

Every athlete gets a clear target, a real plan, and coaches who hold them to it in the weight room and outside of it.

Strength. Speed. Power. Results. ⚾⚡

You put in the work all year. Then you step on the field and the ball isn’t coming out any harder, you’re not getting down the line any faster, and your swing doesn’t have the pop you know it should.

The problem isn’t effort. It’s training that was never designed for performance.

At Arete Strength & Performance, everything we do has one purpose: making you a better player on the field.

🏋️ Strength: build the foundation that every throw and swing comes from

⚡ Speed: get quicker out of the box, on the bases, and in the field

💥 Power: turn that strength into explosive movement

📈 Results: we test, train, and retest so you see the progress in real numbers

When strength, speed, and power come together, the radar gun shows it. 🔥

Here’s how to get started:

1️⃣ Book a free assessment so we know exactly where you stand

2️⃣ Get a training plan built for your body and your position

3️⃣ Train, retest, and watch your game take off

Don’t spend another season wondering what you could be. Show up stronger, faster, and more explosive than ever.

Meet Declan. ⚾💪

Molly & Declan loves the game and wants to get better. Like a lot of young players, though, he needed more than extra swings and throws.

He needed to get stronger and more athletic, in a way that’s safe and built for his age.

That’s where Arete Strength & Performance came in. Here’s his offseason retest:

⚾ Throwing velo: 61 → 65 mph (+4)
💥 Exit velo: 59 → 64 mph (+5)
🏋️ Sumo deadlift: 100 → 130 lbs (+30)
🚀 Vertical: 13” → 15.7” (+2.7)
📈 Body weight: 73 → 78 lbs (+5)

Declan isn’t just throwing harder and hitting harder. He’s building a strong, athletic foundation that will carry him through every level of the game.

Strength built early keeps adding up for years.

Your young athlete can follow the same path:

1️⃣ Book a free assessment so we know exactly where they’re starting
2️⃣ Get an age-appropriate plan built around their development
3️⃣ Train, retest, and watch them grow stronger and more confident

Don’t wait until high school to build the foundation. Give your athlete a head start now.

Caleb has talent. What he didn’t have was a plan built to turn that talent into velocity, bat speed, and power on the field.

So he started training at Arete Strength & Performance.

After 9 weeks, here’s his reassessment:

⚾ Throwing velo: 77 → 81 mph (+4)
💥 Exit velo: 76 → 82 mph (+6)
🏋️ Sumo deadlift: 255 → 335 lbs (+80)
🚀 Vertical: 20.9” → 25.5” (+4.6)
⚡ 60-yard sprint: 7.31 → 7.17 sec

That’s 9 weeks. Now we keep building.

Over his next 12-week block, Caleb is focused on adding lean mass and pushing his deadlift to 405 lbs. More strength and power means more velocity, and he’s only getting started.

Your athlete can follow the same path:
1️⃣ Book a free assessment and find out exactly where they stand

2️⃣ Get a training plan built for their body and their position

3️⃣ Train, retest, and watch the numbers climb

Don’t let another season start with the same numbers as the last one.

Show up bigger, faster, and more explosive than ever.

Melvin was already putting in the work. But hard work alone wasn’t moving his numbers the way he knew it could. He needed a plan built for a baseball player.

So he started training at Arete Strength & Performance. Here’s what his retest showed:

⚾ Throwing velo: 76 → 82 mph (+6)
💥 Exit velo: 76 → 80 mph (+4)
🏋️ Deadlift: 265 → 345 lbs (+80)

This is just the start. Melvin has the tools for a 90 mph arm. For the next three months we’re focused on putting on as much quality mass as possible, so he has the size and strength to keep turning that potential into velocity.

Your athlete can follow the same path:
1️⃣ Get a free assessment so you know exactly where they stand

2️⃣ Get a plan built for their body and their position

3️⃣ Train, retest, and watch the numbers climb

Don’t let another offseason go by with nothing to show for it. Come into the season bigger, stronger, and throwing harder.

You put in the reps. Lessons, travel ball, extra cage time. But the velo isn’t moving, the bat speed has stalled, and you’re watching other guys pass you.

It’s not that you aren’t working hard. It’s that nobody gave you a custom plan to transfer your work to your sport.

At Arete Strength & Performance, we train baseball players for baseball. Every lift is chosen to help you throw harder, swing faster, and stay healthy through a full season. It’s not a generic gym program.

Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Book your free assessment
2️⃣ Get a plan built around your body and your position
3️⃣ Train with coaches who know the game, and watch the numbers move

Don’t let another offseason go by just “working out.” Show up to tryouts stronger, faster, and ready to compete for the spot you’ve earned.

Congrats to Richard for crushing some massive PRs in his first 12-week reassessment! 💪

Throwing Velocity: 75mph ➡️ 80mph
Exit Velocity: 74mph ➡️ 80mph
Sumo Deadlift: 215lbs ➡️ 300lbs
Body Weight: 116lbs ➡️ 131lbs  

Richard’s results come from his dedication to the plan we built for him.  

Without his intensity in the gym every session and his commitment to the meal plan, he wouldn’t be up 15 lbs of quality mass and +5 mph on his throwing velocity (plus massive gains in exit velo and strength).  

The work is just getting started. Time to set new goals and crush them.  

Are you an athlete who needs to add velocity, power, and strength before the 2027 season?  

What you do over the next three months can completely change how you perform next year.
