Our approach

Parts-before-patterns training for athleticism, healthy movement, and feeling good.

At Elite Performance Systems (EPS), we know the body moves as a system, and a system is only as good as its parts. That's why we ignore outdated training methods and use a modern method that starts with joint health and ends with moving better, surpassing limits, and resisting injuries.

That method? Joint- and tissue-targeted training that develops better mobility, control, strength, and more.

Whether you're a competitor, fitness fanatic, retiree, 9-to-5-er looking for effective workouts, or exercise newbie, we help you put in the internal work for superior external results.

The method

Three principles behind every rep.

01

Improve performance with strategic programming

Classes are based on methodical, periodized programming designed for progression. Led by an expert coach, each class aims to improve your body's usable range of motion, control, strength, and overall fitness.

02

Work out with a supportive community

Be part of our motivating, inclusive community of weekend warriors, former athletes, and everyday people of various ages. Our coaches always offer progressions and modifications to accommodate and challenge different ability levels.

03

Become informed and empowered

It's not just a class; it's a classroom. Our coaches teach you why we train the way we do and how the body works, so you can better address aches and pains and improve your health on your own.

From the owner
“Fitness shouldn't be the most important part of your life. It should be the thing that lets you enjoy it.

Rachel started at EPS as an athlete. When the joint-first approach made her feel younger than she had in years, she bought the gym to keep building on it, and to help other people move without pain and keep doing what they love as they age.
