XLR8 Performance
Experts with one complete approach to human performance.
Combining performance science, nutrition, training, bodywork, and recovery to help athletes and everyday people move better, feel better, and perform at their best.
What if athlete development wasn’t a collection of random workouts?
That is what we are building with the XLR8 Ultimate Athlete Academy.
The Academy is designed around one connected development system:
⚡ Speed + movement
🏋️ Strength + power
📊 Performance testing
🏆 Sport-specific coaching
💪 Recovery
🥗 Nutrition + fueling
📈 Athlete profiling + long-term tracking
And it changes as the athlete develops.
Younger athletes begin by building the foundations: movement, coordination, speed, strength and athletic confidence.
As athletes progress, training becomes increasingly individualized, data-driven and sport-specific.
The goal isn’t simply to make someone better this season.
The goal is to build the athlete they can become over the next several years.
That is the difference between having access to a gym…
…and being part of a development system.
The XLR8 Ultimate Athlete Academy is coming.
Small groups.
Elite coaching.
High standards.
Long-term development.

42 WINS.
29 SECOND-PLACE FINISHES.
21 THIRD-PLACE FINISHES.
149 TOP-10 FINISHES.
Our high school runners are making their mark this XC season. 🔥
Behind every finish is an athlete putting in the work—through summer miles, early mornings, tough sessions, and the everyday decision to keep getting better.
Proud of these athletes and proud to be part of their development.
More racing ahead. More goals to chase. Let’s keep building.

There’s something exciting about a brand-new gym.
Brand-new equipment. Shiny machines. A fresh start.
But new doesn’t automatically mean proven.
At XLR8 Performance Lab, some of our equipment has already been through the work.
It has helped build some of the best physiques in the Midwest.
It has been part of developing:
🏆 State Champions
🏆 National Champions
🏆 State Record Holders
🏆 National Record Holders
🏆 Collegiate Athletes
🏆 Multi-Millions of Dollars in Athletic Scholarships Earned
🏆 Award-Winning Physiques
🏆 Hundreds of Incredible Transformations
And the coaches standing beside that equipment?
They have the track records to match.
We aren’t bringing an untested concept into a new community and hoping it works.
We’re taking YEARS of coaching experience, athlete development, transformations and proven systems—and putting them under one roof with even greater capabilities.
VO₂ testing.
Mobility and movement assessments.
Speed and power testing.
Individualized strength programming.
Nutrition and biological testing.
Personal training.
Sports performance.
Recovery.
Because the goal isn’t simply to give everyone a workout.
It’s to figure out what YOU need and coach accordingly.
There are great facilities and great options everywhere. Find the environment that fits what you’re looking for.
But if experience, individualization and an established track record matter to you, take a look at what has already been accomplished by the coaches, systems—and even the equipment—you’ll find inside XLR8.
Some people see used equipment.
We see equipment that’s already built champions.
Now it’s entering its next chapter at XLR8 Performance Lab.
