Officials Program (Tier 1)

PROUD PARTNER OF THE

USA HOCKEY ADVANCED OFFICIATING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Are you ready to feel your best on the ice? 

We've spent the last 12+ years helping some of the best players in the game. But we realized something 2 years ago. We were leaving some of the most important athletes out...the officials!

When you get on the ice do you want to feel?

• In-shape and ready to keep up with the play?
• Strong and prepared to deal with any situation?
• Flexible and mobile enough to react to a broken play?
• Mentally clear and focused on the game?

WE CAN HELP!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's why we've partnered with the AODP to offer you exclusive access to programming designed specifically for you as an official!

"I have been working with Lucas for coming up on two years and it has been the best two years I have felt on the ice in my career. He tailors the programs to your gym equipment availability and personal needs through consistent communication. I’ve worked with multiple trainers over the last 10 years and I have to say Lucas and the Gary Roberts Program is the only one that hasn’t treated me like a number." - Chris Williams (AHL / ECHL Official)

"Gary Roberts Performance and Lucas Azeredo Lobo have helped me create a custom workout plan for my schedule and lifestyle as a hockey official. He’s always available to tailor the workouts to my needs and the app makes it feel like I have a strength coach in my pocket everywhere I go. I’ve never felt better as an athlete!" - Greg Offerman (AHL / ECHL Official)

"I started working with GR training back in the 2020-2021 season, while in an ECHL apartment. They’ve been a huge factor for the progress of my career, to now being a full time AHL linesman and chasing the ultimate dream of the NHL. Working with the GR team makes it really easy to get the right workout in no matter the time of year. Whether it’s a a game day workout in a hotel, in season lift, or off season conditioning, they can accommodate to the equipment we may be limited to while on the road or whatever your gym has. This means you’ll put yourself in a position to be in great shape going into a camp, combine or season and be able to maintain what you’ve built through the season" - Dan Kovachik (AHL Official) 

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment do I need?

We design the program around what you have, but we suggest finding a location with some fundamental pieces - a squat rack, dumbbells, cables, or bands.

How long is the program?

Each Phase is four weeks long. You are welcome to cancel your membership at any time, but we suggest at least 12 weeks of training to see results.

How long are the training sessions?

The length varies depending on the focus of each session, but in general, you can expect to train for 45-60 minutes.

What if I don't know how to do an exercise?

Your program is uploaded on the Gary Roberts training app. Every exercise has a video and written description to help you work through it.

What if I have questions?

Great question. We're always here to help, and you have unlimited text access to a GR strength coach and monthly virtual calls with your program. 

What if an exercise hurts?

If an exercise is painful, we always suggest stopping it and swapping it for a different one. You can do that yourself in the app or we're happy to make the switch. Just send us a message.
