Built by athletes.
Trained like ones.
Every program at Maximum Sports Conditioning is owned by a coach who's lived the work — the certifications, the education in the classroom, and the years on the turf and in the weight room. Here's who you'll be standing across from when you walk in.
20+ years coaching speed, strength, power, and long-term athletic development — youth athletes to professionals, and the adults who want to keep up with them.
Coaching Philosophy
Sachin McDonnell is the owner of Maximum Sports Conditioning, where he specializes in speed, strength, power, and long-term athletic development. His coaching combines advanced sports science, measurable performance tracking, and individualized programming to help athletes and adults move, perform, and feel better.
Maximum Sports Conditioning is known for creating training systems that help athletes stay ahead of their peers through smarter, measurable development — not just harder workouts. Over 20 years, Sachin has worked with athletes across multiple sports and levels: youth athletes building foundational movement skills, school-age athletes chasing recruitment, collegiate and professional athletes pursuing elite performance. The thread that ties it all together is long-term development, measurable progress, and sustainable training that supports performance for years to come.
What also makes Maximum Sports Conditioning unique is its ability to translate elite athletic development principles to adults. Whether someone is a current athlete, former athlete, or simply wants to move better, feel stronger, and perform at a higher level, the same performance-driven systems are adapted to improve overall health, confidence, and quality of life.

Lifelong athlete and trainer — helping everyday clients move better and feel better, while coaching athletes on sport-specific speed and strength.
Coaching Philosophy
"I want to spread the idea that exercise is longevity and exercise is not as bad as you think! My goal is to help people discover that fitness can be approachable, sustainable, and life-changing."
Brian works with everyday clients looking to feel better and move better, and also coaches athletes on sport-specific speed and strength. The thread that ties both groups together: the gym should feel like somewhere you actually want to be — not somewhere you survive.
