Kristaps Petrovs
An experienced (BSc Phys Ed, MSc, CSCS, FMS) strength & conditioning coach, sports scientist, educator and public speaker. Currently at Granite Club helping youth, amateur and pro athletes develop and improve their physical qualities and movement skills across 7 different land and water based sports including tennis. Kristaps also monitors athletes physical qualities through testing, wellness and readiness to train, as well as tracks athletes progress in their chosen sport. I have been fortunate to be a part of various high performance national teams in the UK, Latvia, Cayman Islands and Canada (Tennis Canada since 2014) across 16 different sports: summer and winter.

Testimonial
I've had the immense pleasure of working with Kristaps on a daily basis through my strength and conditioning and rehabilitation training as a professional athlete on the WTA tour. Kristaps is extremely knowledgeable, confident in his delivery, and incredibly organized in facilitating all aspects of my training, through practical skills in the gym and on the court as well as technical skills in testing and monitoring. Most of all, he is warm, affable, and creates an enjoyable atmosphere in training, even when the work gets hard. Kristaps' infectious positive attitude has carried me through many tough moments and workouts, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience we've shared together.
