Performance training

Safer, stronger, Faster

Proper Performance Training turns amateur athletes into elite athletes, and it helps everyone reduce the risk for injury to play longer in the sport you love. We train athletes of all ages to move easier, grow stronger, and perform better.

Everyone has a unique injury, body, and physical goal, so everyone needs a customized training program to get back on track.

  1. Initial assessment to determine training - by a professor of Exercise Science!

  2. Customized training regimen with coaches

  3. Focus on the fundamental of healthy movements - also called “biomechanics” or “fundamental movement patterns”

After an initial functional assessment, we guide athletes through specific exercises to increase their personal performance and achieve their goals. Everybody has a different starting point, which is why we have a personalized approach. With a deep study in biomechanics, corrective exercise, and fundamental athletic movement, our Performance Training applies to all ages in any sport.

INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAMMING - Generic group programs often miss valuable teaching moments that could bridge the gap between learning and exercise. While our athletes often have fun training together in small groups, everyone follows their own individualized performance training program. We help you achieve your specific training needs, goals, and take your performance to the next level.

ASSESS TO PROGRESS - The most effective training programs are based on a full body assessment and designed to address your specific needs as an individual.

THERE IS AN ATHLETE IN ALL OF US - If you move, we can help you move better. Whether your "playing surface" is a field, court, trail, or office, we’re ready to take your performance to the next level and help you develop a life-long training regimen.

ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS FASTER - We take time to listen to and understand your specific goals so we can help you reach them. Combined with our full body assessment, individualized programming, and attention to detail, you will see results.

FAQs

 

What should i expect on my first day?

On your first day, you’ll have a one-on-one session with us as we assess your goals and training level. Expect to move, but you might not work up a sweat. First, we’ll use a few active assessments to review your risk for injury and to identify any performance-limiting movement patterns. Afterwards, we may start a few weight or sprint exercises depending on your goals and training level.

Will I be alone in my ongoing training sessions?

After an initial assessment, you’ll be provided an individualized fitness program to be completed at our training facility in small groups at your own schedule. We purposely maintain small groups so that every person receives adequate attention from our staff. But if we’re honest, most people have more fun to working out alongside other friends and athletes.

Do I need to go to Physical Therapy first before performance training?

No way! Performance Training exists on its own for any athlete that wants to take their training to the next level. We recommend that our physical therapy patients continue to train with us in our Performance Training program, though it’s not a requirement.

Can Performance Training apply to any sport?

Absolutely! One of our founders, Thomas Burge, has a certifications of Strength and Conditioning through the NSCA, and Performance Enhancement through the NASM. More importantly, he believes that elite athletes are built by mastering the fundamentals of their own body. With a deep study in biomechanics, corrective exercise, and fundamental athletic movement, our Performance Training applies to all ages in any sport.
