Online Training

Dixey’s Total Baseball Conditioning is now offering online training. Since many baseball players interested in our programs are not local to the Twin Cities, we have created this program as a solution. The Online Training program is available at a cost of $60.00 per month.

After the initial payment is received, Dixey’s Total Baseball Conditioning will contact the athlete for a brief phone consultation. At that time, the athlete’s goals, current fitness levels, diet, and health status will be assessed. Using this data, Dixey’s Total Baseball Conditioning will prescribe a 30-day workout program. The first 30-day workout will arrive within 7-10 days and will be complete with daily workouts, pictures of the exercises, equipment needed (most available at a gym or could be purchased for a minimal investment), and a sample nutrition plan.

Approximately 14-21 days into the workouts, Dixey’s Total Baseball Conditioning will contact you via email to chart your progress and allow you to request the next 30-day workout. Each program is individualized and tailored to your goals. There will not be a generic workout that works for some people and not for others. It is time to achieve your goals. By performing this program, you should expect to see improvements in strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, and body composition.
