VERT Fitness, a training facility owned by Dr. Walter Theis of Pacific Palisades, has become an official sponsor of the Pali Blues Soccer Club. “VERT has the technology and equipment to make weight training more sport and athlete specific,” Pali Blues captain Kendall Fletcher said. “It combines strength with agility and quickness. It’s exactly what I’m looking for in a strengthening program.” Along with on-site physical therapy at the Santa Monica facility, VERT staff will also conduct private training sessions for the Blues twice a week. “VERT is the perfect partner as they are on the cutting edge of technology in their field,” Pali Blues Coach Charlie Naimo said. “The players that have already used the facility are as excited as I’ve ever seen athletes when it comes to strength and fitness training.” VERT is a fitness company focusing on the aspects of fast-twitch training, revolving around the science of isokinetics and its application to sports performance. “VERT of Santa Monica is excited to sponsor the Pali Blues,” VERT general manager Kelly Stamp stated. “We’re looking forward to working together with the Blues and seeing our training translated to on-field play.” A couple of famous athletes that have worked with VERT Fitness are NBA center Shaquille O’Neal and Holly McPeak, the all-time winningest women’s volleyball player in AVP history.
