Your Kid Is Active. That Is Not the Same as Developing.

Book a Free Discovery Call

AIQ Lab is where athletes 8–18 learn how to actually train.

Fun and foundational for the younger ones. A real home base for the high schoolers. A system — not another class on the schedule.
Free Athlete Assessment

They Go to Practice Six Days a Week and Can't Squat?

01

Skills trainer. Speed camp. Club team. Private lessons on top of that. You’ve put real time and money behind your kid’s development. What puts it all together?

02

Activity is not development. Your kid is busy — that’s different from your kid actually building something.

03

AIQ Lab is the system that connects it. Every athlete starts with an assessment. Every athlete is placed at the right level — not by age, not by assumption. They progress when they earn it.

04

That’s the AIQ Training Pathway. Physical Literacy to Train to Perform. Built around your athlete.
See How It Works

We Scale the Training to the Athlete. Not the Other Way Around

Most programs hand every athlete the same training and call it coaching. We start with an assessment. Then we place your athlete in the level that matches who they actually are — not their age, not their sport, not their parents’ expectations.

As they develop, they progress. The system moves with them.

Level 1: Learn to Move


Who it’s for: New athletes of any age or background.


Goal: Build movement quality, coordination, and confidence — no assumptions, no skipping steps.

Level 2: Learn to Train

Who it’s for: Athletes with a solid physical literacy foundation, ready to build the training engine.


Goal: Develop strength, introduce speed, and grow work capacity.

Level 3: Train to Perform

Who it’s for: Athletes with real training experience — the workhorse level.


Goal: Apply the full AIQ methodology (Strong / Fast / Durable / Explode) through Push/Pull/SPA and Avatar programs.

Level 4: Tip of the Spear


Who it’s for: Rare, elite-level athletes. No standard template fits here.

Goal: Fully custom, one-on-one programming. We’ll know it when we see it.

Who Trains at AIQ Lab

Most programs hand every athlete the same training and call it coaching. We start with an assessment. Then we place your athlete in the level that matches who they actually are — not their age, not their sport, not their parents’ expectations.

Level 1: Learn to Move

Who it’s for: Athletes of any age who are new to structured training.

If your child is just getting started, this is where they belong. We focus on physical literacy—teaching them how to move well, build coordination, develop body awareness, and gain confidence in the gym. No assumptions. No skipping steps.

Goal: Build the foundation for everything that comes next.

Level 2: Learn to Train

Who it’s for: Athletes who move well and are ready to train with purpose.

These athletes have a solid foundation and are ready to develop strength, speed, and work capacity. They learn how to train consistently, handle appropriate workloads, and make measurable progress.

Goal: Build the engine that drives athletic development.

Level 3: Train to Perform

Who it’s for: Athletes with meaningful training experience and clear performance goals. This is where athletes apply the full AIQ methodology to maximize performance. Programs are designed to improve strength, speed, durability, and explosiveness while preparing athletes to compete at a higher level. Goal: Turn training into performance.

Level 4: Perform

Who it’s for: Athletes who require an individualized approach. Whether preparing for a major competition, returning from recurring injury, or pursuing elite-level goals, these athletes receive fully customized programming and one-on-one coaching through our performance services. Goal: Deliver exactly what the athlete needs to perform at their highest level.

What You Do in the Other 23 Hours Is What Impacts the Hour You Train.

AIQ Rx is remote coaching built on the full AIQ system — the training and the lifestyle framework that makes it actually work. Sleep, recovery, nutrition, stress load. Most programs ignore all of it. We built a system around it.

Inside the AIQ community on Skool, you get the coaching, the Human OS framework, and a group of families building the same thing. Wherever you are.

What Families Are Saying ...

“Such an awesome gym and workout. Functional fitness at its best. Have never been disappointed with a workout. They work around my body/needs and push me as far as my body wants to go.”

-Matt Streif

“AIQ is awesome!! It’s a great place to come workout whether you’re a kid, teenager, or adult. I love the environment and the people and have grown so much as an athlete here! This gym is next level and everyone should try it out.”

-Abby McGuire

“If you are an athlete, more likely then not you have faced injury in your career. This is the place to rehab and improve yourself. The team offers the best treatment for all athletes, incorporating sports specific pt into your rehab. Before tearing my meniscus I ran a 4.9 40 yard. Currently 7 weeks out of surgery I run a 4.52.”

-Colin Nash

Questions Parents Ask Before They Book

Book a free discovery call or come in for a free Athlete Assessment. We figure out together where your athlete needs to start — no commitment required on the first visit.
Possibly yes — and that is exactly why it matters. We look at your athlete’s full schedule and build around it. We are not adding more volume. We are adding structure to what is already there.
Team strength coaches program for the team, not for your kid. We look at your athlete individually — their level, their gaps, their movement patterns — and build a program for them. Those are different things.
Your kid gets placed at the right level — not thrown into a class that is too hard or too easy. The younger athletes are here because it is fun. The older ones are here because they chose it. That changes everything about showing up
We work with athletes starting at age 8. The younger kids are in our Learn to Move track — it is more movement play than performance training. We have never met an 8-year-old who needs an intensity program.
We bill monthly and you can adjust, pause, or cancel before your next payment — no penalty, no runaround. Packages have expiration dates, and paid-in-full plans are non-refundable. No tricks. Just show up, do the work, and if it stops making sense for your family, we make it easy to adjust.
