Athletes' Performance is an American company that provides integrated performance services for the top athletes in the world.[1] Founded by Mark Verstegen in 1999 and based in Norwell, Massachusetts,[2] it has private training facilities in Tempe, Arizona; at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California; and at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Florida.

It also has a subsidiary, Core Performance, which makes the same training methodology available online for non-elite athletes of all kinds. Core Performance also has one training facility called a "Core Performance Center" in Santa Monica, California. The company offers a "Core Performance" camp that teaches athletes about good nutrition as well as techniques that help them recover from their injuries.[3]

In the last year alone, Athletes' Performance has trained 8 NFL first-round picks, 9 NBA first-round picks, World Cup heroes (US Women's Soccer and German Men's Soccer), and hosts of All-Stars across every major sport. Four members of the Boston Red Sox have spent part of their off season time at Athletes' Performance.[4]
