Malek Hinton Cheer · Flexibility & strength training for flyers
Elite Flyer Program
One-on-one flexibility and strength training for flyers. Every athlete gets a custom weekly plan built from their own strength test and flexibility evaluation, straight from Coach Malek.
Why flyers need this
Flexibility gets the skill. Strength holds it.
Flyers need both, done with the right technique. Flexibility without strength gives you shaky body positions that are hard to control. Strength without flexibility limits the skills you can hit. The Elite Flyer Program trains flexibility, strength and technique every single week.
Pillar 1
Flexibility
More range for the positions judges look for: heel stretches, arabesques, scorpions, needles, bow and arrows and splits.
- Higher, cleaner body positions
- Better lines in every skill
- Range that improves week to week
Pillar 2
Strength
Core, hip and leg strength so your flyer can pull into positions, stay tight in the air and hold every skill with control.
- Stronger, steadier body positions
- More control and balance in stunts
- Builds the muscles that support the joints
Pillar 3 · The Malek Hinton difference
Technique in every body position
We don’t just hand out stretches. Coach Malek teaches and breaks down the technical elements of every stretch and every body position, so your flyer knows exactly what correct looks and feels like.
- Hip and shoulder alignment
- Locked legs and pointed toes
- Which muscles to engage and when
- Body positions in the air, step by step
- How to stretch safely without forcing it
- The why behind every correction
Your flight plan
How the program works
Every plan is built around where your athlete is today.
Strength test
Your athlete completes a strength test so we know where they’re strong and where they need support.
Flexibility evaluation
A full flexibility evaluation shows exactly which positions need more range.
Weekly check-in
Warm up first, then a live 15-minute 1-on-1 call with Coach Malek for feedback, corrections and technique.
New weekly plan
Each check-in ends with your athlete’s custom flexibility and strength plan for the week ahead.
