What Makes the Ultimate Athlete Project Different?

Functional Strength

We promise strength and power development that translates to the field. If you've done bodybuilding style training or power lifting, you'll find that our strength training is a little different! But it will allow you to move better, be more quick, and feel great at the end of a long tournament or practice.

Ultimate Specific Conditioning

Stop wasting time on track workouts. The most effective conditioning mimics the movement and metabolic demands of ultimate. We make sure you're in tournament shape far before the first time you step on the field.

Planning for athletic performance

The difference between training and just working out is having a plan. Every training session in the UAP is related to what comes before and after. We've got you covered for off season, preseason, in season training and tapering for your most important tournament of the season.

I joined the UAP in the off-season because I need structure for my workouts. I don't have troubles getting to the gym, but I do have troubles knowing what to do. The UAP gave me confidence in the gym, and helped structure my offseason, preseason, and (currently) inseason. It was immediately obvious to me at the start of the season that I was in better physical shape than I have been in past years. I'm a shameless promoter of the UAP at this point!

Will it Work for Me?

How can The Ultimate Athlete Project work for such a wide variety of athletes? Our programming is flexible and easy to use. The truth is, whether you're an elite level player or a beginner, most ultimate players are relatively new to training for athletic performance. Does anyone below sound like you?

 

Players who go to Nationals

“What I love most about the Ultimate Athlete Project, is that I can tell it was built for an Ultimate player. I can visualize how each exercise will help me in the game—whether it's skater hops working on the lateral movement of a mark or supporting my core and range of motion for my throws. This isn't just a program to help 'burn calories.' It is a program that combines weightlifting, SAQ workouts, and core circuits that, in six days a week, gives me the workout I know I need. I appreciate the work Melissa has done with the Ultimate Athlete Project in finally creating a solid, structured workout plan built specifically for ultimate athletes."
~James Hron, Drag’n Thrust

“UAP is great! It helped me stayed focused and motivated through the year. I have never been that consistent before in my training. All competitive players should follow a program like the UAP!”

 

"In every way, Melissa's Ultimate Athlete Program is the best workout program I've ever followed for ultimate. As long as I'm playing competitively, I'll be on the UAP year round and I hope my team will too.

Doublewide knew how important friz fitness was to being successful and did the work. DW had a very tough track program that we followed during the season. Many guys also lifted weights on their own during the season and during the off-season. It was quite effective. However, following Melisa's programs have been even better, no doubt about it."

Valley Renshaw, Kansas City Prairie Fire

 

Making the team!

"UAP was a great way for me to get into weight lifting in a safe and productive way. This program was a big contributing factor for me making Scandal, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to level up their game".
Sarah Lord, DC Scandal

“I started the program 2 years ago and it's amazing the difference I feel going into tryouts! Everyone else is winded, whereas I feel strong and quick. It's great being able to continue into the season and see a big difference in how my body reacts to the riggers of tournaments and practices. Whereas in years past I would constantly pull or strain something, these last two years have been injury free thanks to proper strengthening and prepping of the appropriate muscle groups. THANK YOU MELISSA AND UAP!!!!!!”


Struggling with Nagging Injuries

“My offseason training with the UAP has been some of the best work I've ever done. I have made slow gains in many exercises but the best thing that has happened to me has been getting some symmetry back in my body. All of my injuries (torn trapezius, fractured patella, knee and hip pain, weak IT band, chondromalacia in my knee, etc ., etc.) have been on the left side of my body!! So I spent the entire offseason rehabbing my knee and hip and focusing very hard on getting my left arm equal to my right. We're almost there, too.

Thanks for helping me get back on track to where I used to be. You've been an important part in helping me believe in myself again, realizing I'm just getting older and that I have to take my training more seriously. I've spent the past three years wondering if I could be fast, jump high and not be in pain ever again--and the answer is yes. I can do all those things again and I'm going to keep training so I can do them even better.”
Russel Allen

 

“I used to the UAP for two years. It brought me back from being injured and irrelevant to one of the better players on my club team. I did eventually unsubscribe because of the subscription price, but that was because Melissa provided enough educational materials that made me believe, "Okay, I can take it from here."
Issues she helped me address:

  • Foundational strength
  • Asymmetry in my hips and arm/shoulder strength
  • Hip flexors that used to bother me all the time
  • A patellar fracture I hadn't rehabbed correctly
  • Proper warmups
  • GETTING INTO A ROUTINE AND FOLLOWING THROUGH

 It is a great guideline to get you into offseason workouts and in-season management of your gains. I'm sure Melissa sells it just fine on the site, but I wanted to boldly endorse her product. I recommend it 100%.”


Beginners!

"Hi everyone, I'm Suddha in my first year of playing ultimate with my uni team (here in Australia) and fell in love with the sport because of the spirit of the game and the community. I wanted to pursue Ultimate more seriously because everyone else was better than me. Anyways right now we have Melbourne Hat going on (460 people!!) and I'm at my Phase 1 program, and let me just tell you Melissa, you are a super champ. I have seen a JUMP in levels of fitness, hip movement, cutting, its insane. So thank you for putting this program for players like us, it's a great boost for me to do better and keep up with my program and I hope it helps everyone to train hard too!"
Suddha Mukhopadhyay


“I also want to share how empowering it is to lift! I've never done it before, so that's why I think the change is so noticeable, and it makes me feel so strong!“

 

"I never played any sport before joining my local ultimate league and then our club team, so I was very unfamiliar with any sort of conditioning or prep. I am brand new to strength training and I found the UAP to be very helpful since it has detailed instructions on form for each exercise as well as substitutions if the gym doesn't have a certain type of equipment. It's only been a few months but I've already noticed improvements in my strength and speed on the field."

Sarah, Los Heros, Bloomington IN


Getting Older, Training Smarter

“I'm 47 - I was +9 in fantasy points at GM Nats in 2015, +3 at Nats this year. I only did the workouts, pickup and summer league and my legs felt strong on the 3rd day. The program flat out works."

“I'm 36 years old and I haven't been in as good shape since my early 20s. I'm absolutely loving the program, it's well designed and easy to follow!”

“The UAP has made be fitter and stronger in my 30's than I ever was in my 20's. With no gym knowledge before this it was easy to understand and see how it applies to ultimate and overall strength and conditioning “
Jam, Devon Ultimate

“I'm 45, and I was in the best playing shape of my life after 1 off-season in UAP. Before starting, I literally felt like I'd been in a car wreck after tournaments. After a season of lifting/training specifically for Ultimate, I did not feel like that after tourneys”
Chris Cleaver; Clarksville, TN. Grand Master Flash
