Move Past Pain and Into Performance

I joined GHP after realizing that I’m in my 40s, slightly overweight, and not able to recover like I used to. I definitely needed some serious support to continue improving so I had a fighter’s chance to realize some of the running dreams I have. While I’m still early in this journey with them, I can already tell how much I’ve grown physically (strength and speed) and in the knowledge of the what, why, and how’s of my body’s growth, continued development, and needed recovery. Everything from strength to speedwork is tailored to my needs and the support and encouragement is unmatched. It’s nice to be in a gym with a bunch of “normal folks” who just want to improve and encourage others along the way. On top of all of this I found that GHP also offers coaching for young athletes. My middle school daughter did summer trackside and LOVED it. She grew so much. Her speed and form improved but most importantly she grew in confidence. She now does trackside and a session of strength training. She loves it. The coaches push her hard but care for her as well. The attended her XC meet and celebrated her growth! I’d highly recommend GHP for both adult and youth athletes.

I have had a terrific experience at GHP with my trainer Ananya. She is very sensitive to older athletes (I am in my 70s) and very alert both to their limits and possibilities. We have made tremendous progress in the last seven months and I look forward to every session. The atmosphere at GHP is very upbeat and positive, and the play lists are “lit” (to use Ananya’s word).

I joined GHP in 7th grade, and it significantly helped my running career. From lifting in the gym, to having my coaches drive out to track meets to support me, to meeting friends I can run with, I’m so glad I became a part of the GHP community!

As a competitive runner in Cross Country and Track, I knew I needed to take my training to the next level. I worked with Coach Donald and GHP for about a year and a half, and they helped me to improve in ways that I could not have improved on my own. The coaches were extremely helpful and easy to work with, which made the workouts fun and geared toward my personal needs. I noticed significant differences in my races as well; I felt much stronger and faster, and I noticed that I could hold form much better when I was fatigued at the end of races. The tough workouts also helped me improve my mental toughness, and to stay focused and relaxed during hard exercises. I had a great experience at GHP, and I would recommend it to any athlete who wants to take their training to the next level.

I trained with Global Human Performance for almost three years. During that time, all of the amazing coaching staff helped me reach my fullest potential as a High school athlete. Not only did they help me achieve things that I didn’t think were possible, but they also helped me prevent injuries and stay healthy. I highly recommend reaching out the coaches and setting up a plan if you want to take the next step in your athletic career (or if you want to stay healthy / in shape). Before I used Global Human Performance, I was a below average HS runner who was always injured. Now, with the help of the program, I’ve earned multiple state medals and school records. The program provides longevity for all athletes looking to compete at a high-school, collegiate level, or even after that.

My experience at GHP has been nothing but the best. I have been training with GHP throughout middle school and high school as an XC/Track athlete and it’s played a major role in shaping me as a runner. Coach Donald and all of the other coaches are knowledgeable in health, strength training, and injury prevention which has made my running career flow smoothly. In just a few weeks from now I will be a collegiate runner and GHP is a big reason on how I got there!

Very friendly crew who genuinely care about achieving your goals and making you feel better about yourself! They run different types of classes and it was just so cool to see people from different walks of life all come together and try to get more fit! They do anything from one-on-one classes to group clinics and free PT sessions!

GHP has been a tremendous asset to my track career. I’ve learned how to run with proper form and developed strength through tailored lifting programs, making me both faster and more powerful. Coach Donald is an incredible coach who takes the time to explain the why behind every drill and workout. From day one, you’re welcomed like family, and that support makes all the difference.

I trained with GHP to help prepare to run the Big Sur Marathon and it really paid off! I did Strength and Movement sessions with Coaches Tim, Donald and Leslie, which were challenging yet fun group workouts. Over the course of the training I definitely noticed how it improved my running and I learned how to do a variety of exercises and stretches. I liked how you can pick dates and times to come in that best fit your busy schedule. And it was nice getting to know the other athletes and see them achieve their goals too! Overall an awesome crew doing great work 🙂
