Common Questions

Straight Answers.

What people ask us before they walk in the door: pricing, the evaluation, training after physical therapy, ski season prep, and who we actually work with.

Where is Performance EDU Fitness located and what are your hours?

Performance EDU Fitness is at 3000 Airway Drive, Suite 175, Reno, NV 89502, in south Reno near the Meadowood Mall area and a few minutes from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. We are open Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. We are closed Sunday. Call or text (775) 300-3947.

Do I have to do a movement evaluation before I can train?

Yes. Every client at Performance EDU starts with a movement evaluation. We test how you actually move, load, and stabilize, and you leave with a one-page scorecard of your results. Your program is then built from what we found, not from a template. We re-test on a schedule so you can see whether the program is working. Training without testing is guessing.

What does the movement evaluation cost?

The movement evaluation is $125. That covers the full assessment session with a coach and your one-page scorecard, which is yours to keep whether or not you train with us afterward.

What does training cost at Performance EDU?

One-on-one personal training is $75 for 30 minutes, $100 for 45 minutes, and $125 for 60 minutes, with a 10 percent discount on 24-session packs. BoardEDU, our coached gym membership, is $209 per month. AthleteEDU is $35 per session or $140, $280, and $420 for 4, 8, and 12 session packs. SquadEDU semi-private training is $60 per person for two people, $55 each for three, and $50 each for four or more.

Do you have a physical therapist on site?

Yes. Performance EDU shares its facility with Kime Physical Therapy. That means a client can be evaluated, treated, and trained in the same building without changing facilities or re-explaining their history. It is why people come to us specifically for training that connects with rehab rather than running separately from it.

Can I train with you after I finish physical therapy?

That is exactly what our Bridging the Gap program is for. Being discharged from physical therapy means you are no longer in pain. It does not mean you are ready to load a barbell or return to your sport. We take the handoff from your physical therapist, keep the progressions conservative, and build you back to full strength. If you were treated by Kime PT, the handoff happens in the same building.

Can I strength train after ACL surgery or a knee injury?

Yes, and it is one of the things we do most. We work with people at every stage from pre-surgery prehab through return to sport. The evaluation tells us what your knee can currently tolerate, and the program progresses from there. We coordinate with your surgeon and physical therapist rather than working around them. Training before surgery also matters: entering an operation stronger generally means an easier rehab. See strength training after ACL rehab.

Do you train skiers and snowboarders for the Tahoe season?

Yes. Preseason dryland and strength conditioning for skiers and snowboarders is a signature program. Reno and Tahoe riders come to us before the season for eccentric quad strength, hip and trunk stability, and the kind of conditioning that keeps legs under you on the last run of the day at Mt. Rose, Palisades Tahoe, Northstar, Heavenly, Diamond Peak, or Kirkwood. Our founder Marc Digesti is a former head strength coach for the U.S. Disabled Ski Team.

Do you build personalized training programs, or is everyone on the same workout?

Every program is built from your own evaluation results. Two people who walk in the same week will be on different programs if their scorecards are different, because the program is a response to what we measured in your body. We re-test on a schedule and change the program based on what the re-test shows. That is what personalized means here: it is tied to your data, not to a preference form.

Do you work with beginners and adults over 50, or only athletes?

Both. A large share of our clients are adults who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent, and plenty of them have never trained seriously before. The evaluation is what makes it work: we meet you where you actually are rather than where a program assumes you should be. We also train competitive youth, high school, and collegiate athletes through AthleteEDU. See training for adults over 50.

Do you train youth and high school athletes?

Yes. AthleteEDU is our dedicated strength and conditioning program for competitive athletes, running Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4 PM. It is built for in-season power maintenance and off-season development. Team rates are available for squads and clubs. We train athletes from age 9 and up. See youth and high school athlete training.

Where should I train after finishing physical therapy in Reno?

Performance EDU Fitness in south Reno is built for that step. Our Bridging the Gap program takes the handoff from your physical therapist and rebuilds strength, mobility, and confidence with 1-on-1 coaching. Kime Performance Physical Therapy shares our building at 3000 Airway Drive, Suite 175, so if you were treated there, the handoff happens under one roof.

Where can my high school athlete train in Reno?

At Performance EDU through AthleteEDU, a coached strength and conditioning group that meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 4 PM for $35 per session, or through 1-on-1 coaching. We train athletes from age 9 and up. Every athlete starts with a movement evaluation and baseline testing, and team rates are available. See youth and high school athlete training.

Is strength training safe for adults over 50?

For most people, yes, when it starts from an honest assessment and progresses gradually. That is why every client at Performance EDU begins with a movement evaluation, and we coordinate with your provider or physical therapist when needed. If you have a medical condition or recent surgery, check with your doctor first. See training for adults over 50.

What happens during a Performance EDU movement evaluation?

It is a 60-minute, coach-led assessment ($125). We review your training and injury history, screen joint-by-joint mobility (scored out of 36), score movement quality in squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, and rotate patterns (out of 10), test strength endurance, and set a conditioning baseline on the Ski Erg. You leave with a one-page scorecard and a prioritized plan, and we re-test every 8 to 12 weeks. More on the movement evaluation.

What is the difference between physical therapy and return-to-performance training?

Physical therapy is clinical care: diagnosing and treating an injury and restoring function until you are out of pain. Return-to-performance training starts where PT ends, rebuilding the strength, power, and control you need for your sport or active life. Kime Performance Physical Therapy provides the clinical care in our building, and Performance EDU coaches take the handoff. See ACL rehab training and back surgery recovery.

What is sports performance training?

Sports performance training is strength and conditioning built around the demands of a specific sport: power, speed, agility, and the durability to stay healthy through a season. At Performance EDU it starts with an evaluation and baseline testing, then a program built for the athlete's sport, position, and season, with re-testing to measure progress. See AthleteEDU.
