Services — Performance Training Center
Services That Transform — Not Just Train
Every program is a customized personal training program built around your physiology, your goals, and where you are right now. Backed by 22+ years of experience, the Performance Training Center system, evidence-based exercise science, and one-on-one attention every session.
What Every Client Gets
Each service below is part of an integrated system. Most clients combine 2–3 of these into a single program designed around their goals. All training sessions are coached in person — at our private Bankers Hill studio or in your home. Nutrition coaching can be done remotely.
Private One-on-One Personal Training / Strength and Conditioning
The foundation of everything we do. Every session is part of a customized personal training program — built around your physiology, your goals, and where you are that week. Programs follow NSCA-aligned principles: progressive overload, periodization, neural-drive development, and biomechanically-precise movement patterning calibrated to your training age, neuromuscular capacity, and recovery profile.
This isn’t just exercise. It’s a structured training program — one client at a time, one hour at a time, in a private studio, with a Certified Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach who has 22+ years of experience.
- Durable mobility and movement quality that holds for years
- The physical resilience to perform at any age, recover faster, and stay injury-free
Private Small Group Training
For clients who want the same personalized programming with a partner or training group of 2–4 people. Same customized personal training program as one-on-one, with the energy and accountability that comes from training alongside people you trust.
Each person in the group gets their own programming. We adjust loads, intensities, and movement selections individually so everyone progresses on their own timeline. Same hour, same studio, individualized training.
- Couples training together for shared longevity and aesthetic goals
- Executive teams who train as a leadership ritual
- Training partners and athletes who push each other
- Families that want to build strength and movement quality together
Dietary Coaching / Gastrointestinal / Metabolic Pathway Testing
Training is the stimulus. Nutrition is where the change actually happens. As a Certified Nutritionist and Destination Wellbeing practitioner, I build dietary protocols around your specific goals — fat loss, muscle gain, performance, recovery, longevity — with macros, meal timing, and supplementation engineered to your physiology.
When performance plateaus or stubborn symptoms appear (bloating, fatigue, brain fog, slow recovery, stalled body composition), we go deeper with functional stool and microbiome testing. Panels report markers for parasites, bacterial balance, fungal overgrowth, intestinal permeability, and digestive function. We don’t diagnose or treat from those results — and if something looks like it needs medical attention, we’ll tell you to see your physician. What we do with the data is build your nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle plan around exactly what it shows for you specifically.
- Performance plateaus that won’t resolve with training alone
- Chronic GI symptoms, fatigue, or inflammation
- Stubborn body composition that hasn’t responded to standard macros
- Athletes optimizing for recovery, energy, and longevity
Somatic Movement Education
For clients who have been cleared by their physical therapist but aren’t yet back to full function. Grounded in the movement teachings of Moshé Feldenkrais, somatic movement education bridges the gap between medical clearance and the neuromuscular integration required to perform without restriction.
We’ve worked with clients post-ACL reconstruction, post-rotator-cuff repair, post-spinal procedures, post-hip and knee replacements, and chronic compensation patterns. The work focuses on rebuilding range of motion, strength under load, and confident movement patterns once tissue healing and medical clearance are already complete.
This is usually the right fit if you are:
- Restricted range of motion after surgery or injury
- Compensatory movement patterns that cause repeated re-injury
- Active adults managing long-term pain under their doctor’s care who want to move and train better
- Athletes returning from injury who need to rebuild trust in the joint
What Is Somatic Movement Education?
Somatic movement education at Performance Training Center is grounded in the work of Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais — an engineer and applied physicist who integrated biomechanics, neuroscience, and motor control into a structured system of movement re-education.
Every injury — surgery, sprain, tear, fracture — leaves a footprint in both the tissue and the nervous system. After healing, the brain continues to protect the area through restricted range of motion, compensatory patterns, and reduced motor control. Medical clearance restores tissue integrity. Full neuromuscular function requires deliberate retraining.
This approach uses deliberate, novel movement sequences that help the nervous system recognize the joint as stable and load-ready. The process — known as awareness through movement — applies principles of neuroplasticity to physical performance, with the goal of improved range of motion, strength under load, and more confident movement.
This is the gap between medical clearance and full functional return. Post-ACL, post-rotator-cuff, post-spinal-procedure, or working through long-standing compensation patterns — somatic movement education targets the neuromuscular integration required to perform without restriction.
Assessment & Program Design / $899 per 4–6 Week Cycle
For clients who train mostly on their own, travel often, or split their time between cities. It starts with a 15-minute phone interview, then a one-hour in-person assessment at the studio. From there I spend an hour building the cycle around what the assessment showed, the equipment you actually have, and your schedule.
We then walk the whole program through together in a 90-minute in-person session — every lift, every progression, so you know how each one is supposed to feel before you run it on your own.
- 15-minute phone interview to set the target
- One-hour in-person assessment at the Bankers Hill studio
- An hour of program design built around your equipment and schedule
- 90-minute in-person walkthrough of the full program
- A five-minute check-in each week while you run the cycle
Scope of Practice
Performance Training Center is a performance-training studio, not a medical or physical-therapy clinic. We don’t diagnose, treat, or rehabilitate injuries or medical conditions. Most of what we do is strength and conditioning, nutrition coaching, and somatic movement education for healthy adults. For post-injury and post-surgery clients, we work with people who have already been cleared by their physical therapist or physician. We pick up where clinical care ends, and we train inside whatever guidance your provider has already given you. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
The PTC Difference
Individual results vary based on ability, program intensity, recovery, and individual adherence. The following reflects the foundation every client trains within.
