Meet Jerry Vangilder

Jerry Vangilder is a Certified Functional Strength Coach, as well as Functional Movement Systems Certified.

His experience includes internships with USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program (NTDP) and with Advantage Strength before graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science from Saginaw Valley State University.

Jerry was previously a Volunteer Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Flint Firebirds of the Ontario Hockey League. 

After spending time in the OHL, Jerry moved on to work locally in the Metro Detroit area working for another training facility where he was the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. He worked closely with several local high school teams as well as an elite AAA Hockey Organization where he oversaw the program design and implementation for these teams, organizations, and various clients.

Afterward, Jerry went on to open up his own facility in Northville prior to the 2019 pandemic where he continued to work with professional, collegiate, and high school hockey players. Jerry also has experience working with elite gymnasts, football and softball players as well.

“I’ve been training with Jerry for 6 years now. Since training with Jerry, I’ve noticed an increase in strength and power on the ice as results from our off-season training program. I highly recommend training with Jerry for any athlete looking to get stronger and faster!” - Avery Hayes, Hamilton Bulldogs

Why train with Adapt?

Here at Adapt, our goal is to help each individual reach their goals in a safe, fun and challenging environment. We offer several different training programs to fit your needs.

Our group training classes are smaller in size to ensure optimal attention, education and performance, while our semi-private personal training program takes your training to another level.

We value relationships and long-term development as opposed to turn style, random classes. We strive to be a partner to help guide you to whatever goal you have!
