Dryland Program Announcement

GNST is excited to announce a new, cutting-edge dryland program for our athletes. Our Head coach, Leigh Ann Fetter-Witt, and her assistants have been working with Jennifer Platt, the director of education for Postural Restoration Institute, along with Matt Hornung and Hannah Janssen, to bring a dryland program designed specifically for swimmers focused on building symmetry, balance, and strength in all muscle groups - specifically targeting core strength.  We are excited about this collaborative effort for our swimmers because it provides them with the opportunity to take their swimming achievements to a new level. 

Another exciting aspect of our new dryland program is that GNST has hired Matt Hornung, a graduate from Wesleyan University with bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training, and Hannah Janssen, a graduate from Wayne State with a bachelor’s in Exercise Science, as dedicated trainers for this new program.  Both Matt and Hannah are employed as Education Coordinators at the Postural Restoration Institute here in Lincoln.  In addition to their extensive education with Postural Restoration®, they are currently studying to become a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA.

The Postural Restoration Institute® was founded right here in Lincoln by Ron Hruska in 1999, and they now teach over 85 courses a year to rehab and fitness professionals across the country and internationally. Many collegiate and professional teams have begun using the science of Postural Restoration for rehabilitation and training of top athletes across the country. 

We are excited to have this amazing team assist and develop the dryland program for our swimmers. With this new dryland program, GNST is able to provide our swimmers with a proven, internationally recognized program that builds core muscle groups and brings symmetry of motion both in the water and on land.
