What Athletes Say

"

Training at The LAB changed how I approach my whole offseason. The LAB coaches don't just train your body — they train how you think about performance.

J. Martinez

"

The adult fitness program is no joke. I've trained at gyms all over NJ — nothing compares to the intensity and coaching quality here.

"

My daughter started here at 13. Two years later she's starting varsity and getting recruited. The development process here is real — not just hype.

Performance

Train to Compete. Built to Win.

Our Assessment Process

We Don't Guess. We Test.

Before any athlete starts training at The LAB, they go through our multi-step assessment protocol.

The LAB Assessment Protocol

A complete picture of where you are — so we can map where you're going.

Step 01
Intake & Goal Setting
Sport history, injury background, training age, and performance goals.
Step 02
Movement Screening & 3D Motion Capture
Functional movement assessed for quality, compensation, and asymmetry — captured in three dimensions using Kinotek LiDAR technology.
Step 03
Performance Testing
Strength baselines, speed benchmarks, and sport-specific metrics.
Step 04
Program Design
Assessment data becomes your custom training plan. Not a template.
