STEFAN OVERGAARD

Strength & Conditioning Specialist

Stefan Overgaard knows how important Strength & Conditioning are for an athlete to succeed. That's what seven fitness certifications, including: CrossFit, Can-Fit Pro, NCCP, and several years on the Canadian Alpine Ski Team competing on the speed team will teach you. When Stefan hung up his skis in 2002, he decided to use his expertise to help other athletes. The result was SXS Fitness – a private studio that focuses on training the complete athlete which includes everything from pure strength and power training to speed, agility and coordination (not to mention mobility, flexibility and injury prevention) – everything an individual needs to up their game. Depending on client needs, they can sign up to lose a few pounds or boost fundamental athletic attributes and performance.
