Begin Purpose-Driven Training

 Athlete Lab is KTLYST’s performance training system, designed to support athletes through every stage of their athletic journey—from learning how to train, to training at a high level, to preparing for professional demands. Development doesn’t happen all at once, and athletes shouldn’t be trained as if it does.

Across all age groups, the training principles stay the same—strength, speed, movement quality, injury prevention, and long-term development. What changes is how those principles are applied based on the athlete’s age, experience, workload, and competitive demands.

For middle school athletes, training begins in our Middle School Strength Lab, where the focus is on learning to train. This phase is about building safe movement patterns, coordination, foundational strength, and muscular endurance while prioritizing injury prevention during key growth years. The goal is not to rush performance, but to establish habits and movement quality that athletes can safely build on as their bodies mature.

As athletes progress into high school and college, they transition into Athlete Lab, where the emphasis shifts to training to train. At this stage, athletes follow more structured and sport-specific strength and conditioning, targeted speed and agility development, and intelligent workload management that evolves between in-season and off-season demands. The environment mirrors what athletes will experience at higher levels of sport, helping them adapt sooner, train with intent, and stay available when it matters most.

For professional and elite-level athletes, KTLYST offers fully individualized private performance training. These sessions are built around competition and travel schedules, performance goals, and recovery needs, with seamless integration between training, rehab, and recovery. This allows for precise control of workload and preparation while maintaining the same performance standards used throughout Athlete Lab—just delivered at the highest level of individualization.

Every athlete at KTLYST begins with a biometric performance profile conducted in partnership with Steve Fell and Performance Science + Rehab located inside KTLYST. This evaluation uses sports science technologies and testing protocols found in world-class professional environments, including those used by Steve in his role with the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team. The assessment identifies movement asymmetries, joint stability, and how an athlete produces and absorbs force during acceleration, deceleration, and sport-specific movements.

This data allows us to determine each athlete’s true starting point, scaffold areas of need, and reduce injury risk while building a foundation for long-term strength and performance. At KTLYST, rehab is training and training is rehab—every phase supports the next so athletes can progress with confidence rather than guesswork.

Athlete Lab is not a one-size-fits-all program or a short-term off season clinic. It is a long-term system built on professional coaching, sports science, and purposeful progression. If you’re looking for an environment that develops strength, performance, and resilience at every stage—not just for the next season, but for what comes after—this is where that path begins.
