Our Mission & Approach:
Our Mission:
At ALP Training Institute, our mission is to develop high-performing, resilient athletes who can perform at their best today while protecting their health for years to come.
We don’t chase short-term gains or generic programs. Instead, we build athletes through individualized training and nutrition strategies that align with the specific demands of their sport, position, season, and long-term development pathway. Our goal is simple: improve sport performance, reduce injury risk, and support lifelong athletic health.
Our Approach to Athletic Development:
True athletic development requires more than hard workouts. It requires precision, context, and integration.
At ALP, we integrate strength training, movement quality, energy system development, recovery, and nutrition into a unified performance system. Every athlete we work with follows a customized plan designed around what they actually need, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Whether an athlete is in-season or off-season, early in their development or competing at the professional level, our approach ensures they are training with purpose, progressing intelligently, and building performance that transfers to the field, rink, or court.
Leadership & Experience:
ALP Training Institute is led by Owner and Director of Sport Performance, Adam Lloyd, who has spent over 20 years developing athletes across all levels of sport.
Adam has worked with thousands of athletes worldwide and has served as a Development Strength and Performance Coach in the NHL with the Arizona Coyotes. His experience includes helping develop some of the league’s top talent, as well as working closely with elite athletes across hockey, baseball, football, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, boxing, and MMA.
Closer to home, many of Hamilton’s top hockey players trust ALP with their athletic development, alongside athletes from a wide range of competitive backgrounds.
Supported by a highly experienced team of professional Strength and Conditioning Specialists - many of whom are former high-level athletes themselves - ALP is recognized as a leader in long-term athletic development, not just short-term performance for good reason.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards to deliver the highest quality results for every client that trusts us with their health and performance!

"... Adam helped me prepare for my rookie OHL season, I had never really seen the transfer of off-ice training to Hockey until I worked with Adam - he made it easy to see why some training that's great for football players, isn't the best fit for Hockey players. I got bigger, stronger, and faster over the summer and that gave me the confidence I needed to go in there against all the bigger guys and do what I needed to do."
