Baseball Training Comes Into Focus at M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio Using Fast Bat

M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio takes sport specific training to the next level.

As winter starts MELTing away into spring, so does the athletic season. Everyone starts looking forward to baseball camp in the north as well as the south.  M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio in South Windsor is no different.

M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio is a member of Athletic Revolution, the fitness industry’s leader in athletic development. And M.E.L.T. has recently unveiled its investment in the Fast Bat Training system to incorporate into its baseball training. The concept of the Fast Bat system is to increase bat speed in as little time as possible, but in a manner that will be able to be maintained throughout the training year. “There are a lot of theories about how to increase bat speed for baseball players, most of which are false.” explains M.E.L.T. trainer Scott Provost.

“I have seen tremendous improvement in many players since I started incorporating this system into their strength training programs”, Provost says. Also included in the system is a radar device that measures bat speed. The readings from the radar are used to track the athlete’s progress throughout the training program.

Bat speed is directly correlated into distance and speed in which the ball travels after contact. Thus, the faster you swing the bat, the harder you hit the ball. The training concept is used by Olympic athletes around the world in many sports. Fast Bat adapts it sport specifically into baseball training.

While Fast Bat training is designed to achieve maximum results in as little time possible, it can also be used in training year round. “Off season training is used to achieve maximum results, in season training is used to maintain the results rewarded by the off-season training.”

Sports specific training is exactly what it sounds like and M.E.L.T. Fitness Studio is making sure their athletes are prepared for their upcoming seasons.
