Our Story
In the Summer of 2018 under the non-profit umbrella of The Columbia Future Forge, Utmost Athletics was successfully launched. In just 6 weeks, Utmost and the Forge raised $55,000 in startup funding and transformed a warehouse storage space at Columbia Presbyterian Church into a state-of-the-art gym and weight training facility. At Utmost Athletics our coaches strive to work with athletes to build community and friendships while training in an excellent strength program.
What Makes Utmost Different?
Technique
Utmost participants are required to complete an introductory starter’s program where they receive coaching and instruction in proper technique prior to moving on to more advanced strength building training cycles. Coaches continue to work with each athlete to ensure safety and proper progression.
Attitude
Our gym motto is "check your ego at the door." We believe it is important for each athlete to come ready to learn and develop, beginning with an honest self-assessment of their current skill level. We focus on progress through periodized training. We are committed to fostering an encouraging and supportive environment for all.
Whole Life
We are interested in pouring into the lives of the next generation. In addition to physical training, we provide life skills training sessions for students and young adults (Ages 14-25). These training sessions seek to equip them with the soft skills necessary for success in life (e.g. Self-Assessment, Goal Setting, Professionalism, Money Management)
Cost
Our mission is to provide high quality training to all people. Currently it costs $120/month for 3 days a week &
$145/ month for 4 days a week. We do not want to price anyone out. Thanks to donor support, scholarships are available. Contact us for more information.
