"Integrating VBT with Output has been a game-changer for our gym. It’s taken the guesswork out of performance training, allowing us to track progress with precision and ensure consistent development, even with multiple coaches and athletes rotating in and out of season. "
About FYF Athletics
Ben De La Torre, founder of Face Your Fears Athletics, has spent over a decade developing one of Santa Clarita Valley’s top training facilities. Since 2014, the gym has become a hub for youth sports performance and adult functional fitness, offering expert coaching and personalized programming.
Now recognized as the 2025 Elite Magazine Ultimate Trainer Award winner, Ben leads a team focused on building strong bodies through a strong community. By combining tailored strength and conditioning with a supportive environment, Face Your Fears helps athletes of all levels push limits, track progress, and achieve real results.
Maximizing ROI and Staff Proficiency
"We’ve absolutely had a positive return on investment since investing in Output."
Not only are Ben and the team at Face your Fears Athletics seeing more clients because they can guarantee measurable improvements, but Output has also allowed for upskilling the coaching staff. By providing objective data and reducing discrepancies in interpretation, the system empowers coaches to perform consistent testing and reach similar conclusions. Ben’s team is building processes that rely less on subjective opinions and more on data-driven decision-making, ensuring long-term value and enabling them to maximize results for athletes while scaling the business.
Guaranteeing Improvements
"I can confidently say to new prospective clients that even with just one session a week for five weeks, we can guarantee adding inches to your vertical jumps."
Since integrating Output, Ben has noticed a marked increase in the number of jumping athletes coming to him, often through word-of-mouth referrals. These results, such as adding several inches to vertical jumps within weeks, have had a significant impact, boosting marketing efforts, improving client retention, and providing rock-solid confidence in the training programs. Ben’s ability to confidently guarantee such improvements demonstrates the effectiveness of his methods and reinforces trust in his coaching systems.
Transforming Decision-Making with Actionable Data
"Using data from reactive jumps, I’ve made real-time adjustments that keep athletes progressing."
Ben shared an example of how Output has helped optimize his athletes’ progress, mentioning improvements in 10-5 reactive drills, such as moving from below 1 to 1.5. This wasn’t achieved with groundbreaking methods but by executing the basics extremely well and leveraging real-time data to inform decisions. When progress begins to plateau, Ben can adjust exercises, volume, or intensity immediately, making training programs more dynamic and responsive rather than waiting weeks to identify and address stagnation.
Streamlining Workflow
"The addition of preset velocity features has been a massive help, it’s saved me so much time."
The preset velocity bands in Output have significantly streamlined Ben’s programming process. Previously, he had to manually input velocity targets or rely on athletes to memorize ranges, but now, with pre-set parameters, training is more efficient. Ben sets up simple processes, such as interpreting red flags to indicate loads that are either too light or too heavy. This increases athlete autonomy while reducing the coaching workload, ensuring sessions are both productive and time-efficient.
Excited for the Future
"I’ve never used a tool like this before that feels almost bulletproof."
While Output hasn’t drastically changed the foundation of Ben’s coaching, it has enhanced the consistency and repeatability of results. By relying on objective data rather than subjective or self-reported insights, the team has established processes that allow all coaches to make reliable, evidence-based decisions. Ben is confident that whether he or another coach delivers the training, the same exceptional outcomes can be achieved. This focus on systemization and scalability ensures that his team is well-prepared to continue evolving and maximizing results.
