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

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.

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.

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

L1 - Physical Literacy

Any age. Any background. If your athlete has never had structured training — or you have not trained in years — this is where the Lab starts. L1 is Physical Literacy: Learn to Move, Learn to Load, Learn to Lift. We have had 8-year-olds and 45-year-old parents start here. The level matches where you are. The program builds from there.

L2 and L3 — Learn to Train / Train to Perform

Athletes who have a foundation and are ready to build something real. Strength. Speed. Work capacity. Competing with more intention. This is where most of our athletes live — developing their engine and making measurable progress session to session.

The PERFORM Program

For athletes at L3 and above with specific performance goals, a competition timeline, or a recurring injury that needs real attention. One coach. One athlete. One program built from scratch. Available in-person and remotely through AIQ Rx

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.
