Train Like an Athlete. Perform Like One Too.
In-Person Strength Training for Female Athletes in Clearwater, FL — Built to Rebuild Stronger Knees.
Alkeva Athletics offers in-person personal training in Clearwater, Florida for female athletes recovering from ACL injuries, dealing with chronic knee pain, or ready to return to sport stronger than before. If you’ve finished physical therapy but still don’t trust your knee — this is your next step.
This Is Not a General Gym Program.
Every session at Alkeva Athletics is built around one goal — developing the strongest, fastest, most powerful, and most injury-resistant version of you. Whether you are training one on one, in a small group, or at a weekend camp, you will be coached, challenged, and pushed further than you thought possible.
Every program starts with a full OVR performance assessment so we know exactly where you are — and every session is built to move you forward from there.

Every Athlete Starts With a Full Performance Assessment
Before we build your program, we need to know exactly where you are. Your first session is always a full assessment — not a generic fitness test. This is a data-driven, sport-specific evaluation using professional-grade equipment.
OVR Sport Science Performance Testing
Alkeva Athletics uses OVR testing equipment — the same elite technology used by professional and collegiate athletic programs across the country. OVR measures speed, vertical jump, and power output with a level of precision that a stopwatch and measuring tape simply cannot match.
When you see your numbers on day one — and again at week five and week ten — you are not guessing whether you improved. You know, exactly, by how much.
WHAT WE ASSESS
We measure the key performance qualities that impact speed, power, agility, and overall athletic performance
Speed & Acceleration: 10-yard dash — first-step quickness that wins the ball and beats defenders
Vertical Power: Vertical jump — explosiveness for headers, aerial duels, and reactive movements
Horizontal Power: Broad jump — total leg power and explosiveness from a standing position
Lateral Power: Single-leg lateral broad jump — cutting ability and defensive movement speed
Change of Direction: Pro shuttle and lateral short shuttle — reactive agility under pressure
Relative Strength: Pull ups — body-weight strength to mass ratio, a key athletic balance indicator
Absolute Strength: Trap bar deadlift — total lower body strength, the gold standard for injury resilience
Movement Quality: Squat assessment, ankle mobility, movement patterns, and joint stability screening

What Makes This Different
Where Experience, Performance, and Prevention Come Together
Lived Experience:
Three ACL tears. Years of chronic knee pain. A dream deferred. Fran has been exactly where your athlete is — and rebuilt herself stronger than she ever was before. That is not something you learn in a textbook.
OVR Elite Testing:
Professional-grade performance measurement used by college and pro programs. Your athlete’s numbers do not lie — and watching them improve over the course of a program is one of the most powerful motivators there is.
Specialist Focus:
ACL prevention and knee health is not a side interest — it is the entire foundation of Alkeva Athletics. Every session is built to make athletes stronger while keeping them injury-free.
Small & Personal:
No crowded classes. No generic programs. Every athlete gets individual attention, customized programming, and a coach who knows their name, their sport, and their goals.
Measurable Results:
Assessment at the start, middle, and end of every program. You will always know exactly how much progress your athlete has made — in real, trackable numbers.
Female Athlete Focused:
Everything at Alkeva Athletics is designed specifically for female athletes — because female athletes have different injury patterns, different training needs, and deserve a coach who truly understands that.

Your Coach — Fran Ciniglio
I’m Fran — a strength coach, ACL specialist, and three-time ACL survivor. I tore my ACL twice in high school and once in college, and I know firsthand what it feels like to watch your athletic dream slip away because your body gave out. I rebuilt myself stronger than I ever was before — and that journey is the reason Alkeva Athletics exists. I train female athletes because I have been exactly where they are. And I refuse to let them go through what I went through.
