More than a gym.

Where performance training, sports medicine, and technology come together to help athletes thrive.

At Performance Lab, every piece works together.

Most training facilities focus on one piece of the athlete journey. At Performance Lab, athletes have access to a complete support system designed to help them perform at their best.

ONE TEAM, UNDER ONE ROOF.

Working together for every athlete.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GIVES ATHLETES AN EDGE

Train With Data. Not Guesswork.

PROTEUS MOTION

Train Like the Pros. Move Like You Compete.
As one of the first facilities in Southern Minnesota to offer Proteus Motion, Performance Lab gives athletes access to the same cutting-edge technology used by elite competitors.

Proteus uses patented 3D resistance to train strength the way your body actually moves: through rotation, acceleration, and multi-directional movement. Build explosive power, improve balance, and track performance with unmatched precision.

  • Proteus Motion trains strength the way your body actually moves. Push, pull, rotate, and move in any direction with resistance that adapts in real time.

    Every rep gives instant feedback, tracking key metrics like power, speed, acceleration, and total output.

  • Sports don’t happen in straight lines, and your training shouldn’t either.

    Real performance comes from producing power through movement. Cutting, rotating, jumping, and accelerating.

    Proteus helps us see where you’re strong, where you’re limited, and where there’s room to improve.

    We use it to:

    • Build rotational power

    • Improve balance and control

    • Identify imbalances

    • Train smarter

    Train for movement. Train for performance.

VALD ForceDecks

Measure What Matters. Track Your Progress.
How you move matters just as much as how hard you train. VALD ForceDecks gives a clear, objective look at how your body produces, absorbs, and controls force.

Using dual force plates and simple jump and balance testing, ForceDecks measures power, symmetry, and movement quality with exceptional precision.

The result is deeper insight into how your body moves and performs.

  • VALD ForceDecks captures how your body produces, absorbs, and controls force in real time. Through simple jump and balance testing, it measures strength, power, balance, symmetry, and asymmetry with precision.

    Each test breaks movement down frame by frame, from takeoff to landing. We can see how much force you generate, how quickly you produce it, how evenly you land, and how efficiently your body stabilizes afterward. It also highlights differences between limbs that can signal muscle imbalances or movement inefficiencies.

    This gives us a clear, objective picture of how your body is performing beneath the surface, not just how your movement looks.

  • At Performance Lab, effort matters. But progress should be measurable. That is why we use ForceDecks, the same force plate technology trusted by elite athletes, professional teams, and sports scientists around the world.

    Instead of relying on observation alone, we use real data to guide training, recovery, and return-to-play decisions. Whether an athlete is coming back from injury, working to increase speed, or trying to improve overall efficiency, ForceDecks shows how the body is responding in real time.

    It helps us track change over time, identify muscle imbalances, and adjust training based on what the body actually needs. Nothing is assumed. Everything is measured.

    When you can see what is really happening, you stop guessing and start improving. Training becomes more specific, more personal, and more effective.

Dashr Timing Systems

Precision Speed Training. Real Results.
We capture acceleration, agility, reaction time, and top speed with precision.

Using laser-accurate timing gates, Dashr gives athletes instant, objective feedback on every sprint, cut, and movement. Every rep becomes measurable, making it easier to track progress and train with purpose.

Faster starts. Quicker reactions. More explosive speed. Dashr gives athletes the data to improve.

  • Dashr uses electronic timing gates to measure movement down to the hundredth of a second. No stopwatches. No human error. Just clean, accurate data.

    We use Dashr to measure key performance metrics like acceleration, sprint speed, agility, reaction time, and change of direction. From short sprints to shuttle drills, every test gives us a better understanding of how an athlete moves.

    It shows how quickly you start, how efficiently you accelerate, and how well you maintain speed through movement.

  • At every level of sport, speed matters. Often, the difference between good and great comes down to fractions of a second.

    Dashr helps us identify strengths, uncover opportunities for improvement, and track progress over time. Instead of relying on feel alone, athletes can see real improvement backed by data.

    This allows training to become more specific, more focused, and more effective. When performance improves, the numbers prove it.

DXA

Know Your Body. Train Smarter.
Performance starts with understanding your body. That is why we use DXA scanning, the gold standard for body composition analysis.

DXA gives athletes a detailed look at muscle mass, body fat, and bone density with medical-grade precision. It goes beyond the scale, providing real insight into how your body is built and how it changes over time.

The result is better decisions around training, recovery, and performance.

  • DXA uses low-dose X-ray technology to measure bone, lean muscle mass, and body fat with exceptional accuracy. The scan is quick, painless, and highly detailed.

    It provides a full-body breakdown of body composition, including total and regional muscle mass, fat distribution, bone density, and right-to-left symmetry. This gives a clear picture of how your body is developing and where changes are happening.

    The result is objective data you can actually use.

  • Performance is not just about training harder. It is about building the right foundation for your sport and goals.

    DXA helps athletes track muscle gain, monitor fat loss, identify imbalances, and better understand how training and nutrition impact performance. It also provides valuable insight into recovery, fueling, and overall readiness.

    Instead of guessing if your program is working, DXA shows measurable progress and helps guide smarter decisions

Stay Healthy. Return Stronger.

Identify risks early, reduce injury potential, and guide safe return-to-play with expert support every step of the way.

Injury Mitigation

Coming back from injury is more than just time off.

We help athletes return when they’re actually ready, not just when pain is gone.

That includes:

  • Rebuilding strength and confidence

  • Checking movement and control under load

  • Making sure both sides are working evenly

  • Progressing from rehab back into performance training

The goal isn’t just getting back in the game. It’s coming back ready to perform.

The best ability is availability.

We focus on keeping athletes healthy and reducing risk before issues show up.

We look at things like:

  • Movement patterns that don’t look right

  • Strength differences between sides

  • Areas that aren’t moving or loading well

  • How an athlete’s body handles stress over time

The goal is simple. Catch problems early and build better, more durable athletes.
