THIRST Futures

Welcome to Terre Haute Intensity Resistance and Sports Training (THIRST).

We are a locally owned and operated fitness and performance facility located in Terre Haute, Indiana. We strive to provide world class coaching and fitness services to the greater Wabash Valley community, using scientific and practical applications to help people of all levels and desires to reach their fullest potential, whether that be on the field/court, or just in life.

THIRST Futures Development Program

Here at THIRST, we’re all about helping our community and making an impact not only in terms of bettering the health and fitness of people’s lives, but also providing athletes and kids to ability to learn about lessons in life, from the weight room. We’ve seen firsthand how our sports performance program has elevated dozens of kids mental and social well-being. We noticed this primarily after COVID, when kids weren’t able to get the physical activity they needed and their parents started seeking us out to help. While we’re known for helping kids perform better on the field and court, we’re more proud of the change we’ve made off the field and court.

We sat down and asked,

“How can we provide this experience for everyone?”

At the end of the day, we’re an expendable income service, so unfortunately everyone can’t afford our services. This is where we decided we wanted to give the experience of THIRST to one deserving and lucky athlete that either can’t or struggles to afford our services, each school year. Owners, Brandon and Adrian, have decided to pay for this out of their own pockets, so that one kid can benefit on and off the field or court.
