Colby College

The purpose of the Colby Strength & Conditioning department is to provide Colby student-athletes with a safe, well-rounded, and comprehensive strength and conditioning program which prepares them for their respective sports, as well as for life after college.

The Colby Strength & Conditioning staff uses programming methodology based upon current research, as well as applied experience and knowledge, to support Colby College student-athletes with progressive year-round programming.
