PerformancEDU Training Facility

The bottom line: I LOVE Performance EDU. If you’re looking for a gym where you’re not just a number but a name; where form, function, mobility, and stability are the most important things; where it’s about you and your personal goals (even when you’re apart of group training); if you’re looking to make a lifestyle change that’s long-​term where you have a team behind you keeping you accountable and checking-​in; this is the place for you. I’ve noticed a HUGE change in the movement of my body, my body composition (more stability and balance throughout my body and build), and I always leave feeling energized, inspired, and educated.
My personal experience: I joined the 6am morning Performance EDU group class in October 2015 and started noticing an increase in my energy level & physical strength. In November, I hurt my lower back and didn’t show up to the gym for a couple of days. Marc personally reached out to check-​in and had me come in to do a personal assessment to really observe the functional movement, mobility, and stability in my body. He pointed out that I wasn’t activating my glute muscles properly which was causing my body to compensate by overusing my quads, hamstrings, and lower back — hence, the lower back pain. And I can be pretty tight in my hips too (from riding horses my whole life)… Marc put together a corrective program for me (in addition to the group classes) and also let the group instructors know so we’d all be on the same page.
A month later, I noticed a huge change — I was finally using my glutes properly, my hip strength was a lot better, and there was a night and day difference all-​around in my range of motion & mobility. Just like you shouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, it’s important to make sure you have a solid foundation in your body movement so that you can reach your personal goals and make long-​term & sustainable gainz. — I love knowing that the team at EDU always has me covered and puts my best interests first (none of the trainers there are in this industry for the wrong reasons; i.e. money, recognition, etc.) they just want to see you be the best you. And let’s be honest — I finally have a butt (sometimes I wondered if it was there)!

I adore my new physical trainer and nutritionist!!! If you are looking to improve your health — JP at PerformanceEDU is your guy!!! He is amazing; supportive, encouraging and very well educated. This is not an ad, it is truly heart-​felt

I’ve been going to performance edu since may, I see Jonathan Price and followed him here. I was a little apprehensive at first, I walked in thinking «this place is way too small» but it’s never too busy, Ryan and Marc are are awesome and very knowledgeable.
The atmosphere here is fun and relaxed! Jonathan is my favorite but it’s probably because I followed him. Lol. I get everything I need out of this place and more!
I recommend performance edu to everyone looking to get more of a one on one or small group. 3 dudes with a ton of knowledge is just what you need!

I am training with Lauren. I like that she stays with me throughout the session watching by body the entire time. Lauren continues to remind me to activate muscles, she counts for me (which I love!) and we are continually changing up the routine, time flies by! She is great with meal plans and recipes. It is great to begin the session each time with a very deep stretch and massage when needed. I would highly recommend the facility and I echo that the entire staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have also trained with Dre and he is excellent as well.

To be honest, my first thought upon entering PEDU, was that it was small. But don’t let that fool you. I’ll admit, I was apprehensive at first about it’s size, thinking bigger is always better. Wrong! PEDU is never crowded because they focus on quality rather than quantity. We’ve all tried working out in those giant group exercise classes offered at the big-​name gyms, and let’s all admit it, they suck! PEDU keeps their group classes just the right size, so that quality training is never sacrificed. PEDU has a wide variety of top of the line equipment. I never feel like I’m doing the same thing on the same piece of equipment. Variety is the spice of life, isn’t it? Lauren Neil is my trainer and I can’t recommend her enough. She has exceptional knowledge in nutrition and cooking in addition to her personal training expertise. Keep your eyes out for her posted Recipe of the Week. I also thoroughly enjoy my interaction with the other trainers as well. It’s easy to see that the trainers all genuinely enjoy working together and are often found sharing knowledge and helping one another grow and improve. PEDU feels like a family. If you want to work out at a place where everybody knows your name (cliché, I know, but true) and feel like you’re getting the best training knowledge and use of the best equipment, then PEDU is the place for you!

For the past 3 years, my wife (also my lead trainer /​fitness guru) and I have been on a journey of constant recovery from a 2010 spinal cord injury. We have been blessed and honored to have been given the opportunity to train with some of the best practitioners and facilities around the nation. I give Performance EDU a five star rating because each week I work out with many practitioners (applying myself to many different healing modalities), and Marc has not only earned my respect — he has earned the respect of all others on my team.
I believe with my whole heart in 120% recovery, and from day one, Marc has believed with his whole heart as well. I put in the hard work everyday to make progress, and with the help of my team, my wife, the High Fives non-​profit Foundation, an incredibly supportive community, and Marc Digesti /​Performace EDU — we move closer toward that goal every single day!!!

Do you have a friend who speaks so highly of a coach you just have to see for yourself what’s so special? Well, Marc is that coach! How many years have I «worked» out, flipping tractor tires, climbed Jacobs Ladder and thought… I’m going be ready for the season ahead! After just a few short sessions, Marc has taught me more about body position and awareness that makes my work out specific for me to be stronger. With really cool, easy movements that kick my butt, I can see my winter in the steeps being attacked and conquered! Seriously! If your ready to be better then you have ever been, check Marc out!

I met Marc a year ago when he introduced himself to Sky Tavern. Since then he has made every kid on the team a stronger skier and made Far West atheltes absolute machines!!! Very knowledgable and always willing to help an athlete achieve their goals

Marc knows the body, knows performance, knows how to inspire and motivate people to their max. Precision and purpose is key and he’s all over it. Love getting worked and watching him work! Always a fantastic time. I look forward to getting back up his way soon!

25Lbs down Baby! Thank you Marc and Performancedu Nevada for all the Information and support. Special shout-​out to Jenny Anderson for the best meal plan I have ever heard of. Performancedu, Im hooked!

Marc is an amazing coach who takes the time to listen to your goals. He than puts together programs that fit your training style. As a former athlete it was a great change of pace and challenged me in ways I haven’t been before. I highly recommend PerformanceEDU!

as a long time, part time athlete who is nearing 40, PerformanceEDU has been my saving grace. marc is a stickler for details and fun. he looked at my body, incorprated my lifestyle and previous training into a concise fun and very helpful workout régime. i love our mornings together as there is always some new exercise or traing technique that i am taught. he sees the big picture. my core, my hamstrings and my back feel better than ever before… this is not the typical training i have received before. this is a way to awaken my younger side. i feel better, i look better and i am fired up on continuing the journey with Marc!

I feel very fortunate to have been able to have been «trained» by Marc. As a fellow fitness professional in the business, I trust Marc fully with my fitness programming. He really raises the bar for his clients and colleagues. Using the word «training» doesn’t do his service justice. Marc focuses on the precision of movement, ensuring that his clients will remain injury-​free and –resistant, ensures that our bodies will function properly till we’re six-​feet under, and that we maximize power output and athletic performance. There is no goal too lofty when it comes to PerformancEDU!!!

Marc is amazing! Besides the fact that he is a super nice guy and fun to be with, he is super knowledgeable about his craft. He really knows his stuff! He takes into consideration my goals, movement patterns, how I am feeling etc. and implements all of it into my program and session. And he relates it to me in a way that I understand. Above all, he is an awesome motivator, which makes it that much easier to consistently train. Thank you Marc for helping me realize my potential!
