Optimal Performance Training Center
We Do Speed Better
Who we are
West Michigan’s Premier Training Center. We specialize in developing Youth Athletes at the key moment in their development. Fall outside of this group? We also transform adults into the best version of themselves.
Why we are
We promise this will be a completely different experience from run-of-the-mill gyms. We provide individual assessment, coaching and programming. We’re not for everyone, we’re for YOU!
Where you are
Have a need to be/do/feel better? We’ll meet you where you are and provide the keys to unlock performance. Once you’re in the door, there’s no going back to the old way of doing things.
How it starts
Fill out an intake form and let us know what your biggest goals are, we have the keys, you just have to get in the car!
Training may be personalized but the environment doesn’t have to be. We offer group style training to encourage competition and accountability, all while tailoring workouts to the individual that help improve all areas of performance. It’s the Goldilocks approach to training volume and intensity. Not too much, not too little, but just the right amount.
Is Optimal Training for you?
The people who have the most success with us aren’t always the most genetically gifted or physically capable athletes but rather those who demonstrate these three traits:
- Consistent
- Hard-working
- Committed
The individuals who buy into OPTC as a journey will reap far more from our programming. The individuals who allow us to be a part of their story will ultimately become part of the OPTC family.
When it’s all said and done, we are working with human beings first and athletes second. Building relationships is our #1 goal. Once relationships are built, the real work can begin.

people talk
We’ve never spent a dime on advertising. Our people do the hard work for us.
Performance made simple.
Somewhere between maximum effort and minimal effective dose there is a sweet spot where the world’s best train and operate. That optimal zone is what we coach, and who we are.
