Coach Derek and Coach Phalen are both great coaches and I've learned a lot over my time here with them and am grateful to be able to continue to be coached and be able to learn under them and continue my athletic training under them.

Derek and Phalen are greats assets for young athletes. They teach proper technique, kinesiology and install confidence through every working session. Athletes truly leave in a better mental and physical state when leaving.

I could not have asked for a better facility to take my daughter to. She has been seeing Coach Derek for several months and absolutely loves what he and his team have to offer. She is super excited to leave the house each week for her session.

Coach Derek is great with his students, while also making sure the parents are communicated with efficiently.

I high recommend Better Athletes Performance!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our daughter Haidyn recently started attending sessions at Better Athletes Performance, and we couldn’t be more impressed. The coaching style from Derek was positive, motivational, and really tailored to her level as a beginner in weight training. The instructors made sure she understood proper technique while keeping the sessions fun and encouraging, which gave her a lot of confidence.

We appreciate how the program was adjusted to meet her starting point and gradually build her strength without overwhelming her. It’s clear they genuinely care about each athlete’s progress and growth. Haidyn is already excited for her next sessions, and we’re thankful to have found a place that motivates her while teaching her the right way to train. Highly recommend!

These guys are awesome! If you are (ahem) a little older like me trying to work on different goals or you have kids that are trying to improve in their sports they have individualized training to help you meet your outcomes. Derek is great and I have used him more than once to improve physically. Could not recommend more highly.

I have 2 kids that play for 402da soccer club and Better Athletes is doing great things for them. My daughter had a hip issue and Derek is working with her to strengthen her hip. She tells me how her hip feels so much better. My son has knee pain when he does other weight programs. With BA he does have knee pain and feels like he does better after workouts with Better Athletes team!

Derek and Phalen provide the optimum professional training any athlete in a sport, or age in life should expect. This is where next level athletes need to be. Train with the best to beat the rest.

Derek's training at Better Athletes Performance is nothing short of genius. I worked with him throughout my high school sports career and have continued to train with him after graduation. He wants people to reach their full potential mentally and physically, while making the process enjoyable. I couldn't recommend any place or person more!

Derek is awesome. My daughter has asked if she can go to training with him everyday. Every girl on her team also loved Strength and Conditioning, and are looking forward to getting back in. I also worked with Derek following an ACL surgery and I feel better than I have in years. I would absolutely recommend Better Athletes.

Derek is a fantastic trainer, and an even better human. I have been working out with him for over two years, and have never felt better. He understands what a person needs in their mid-50's to be fit, balanced, limber, and strong. He listens to your goals and then tailors a workout to what you need. His gym is fantastic too - spotless, private, and spacious. Highly highly recommend!

The way my kids, college age daughter, and middle school son, respond to working with Derek, is what I base my recommendation for him and his organization. He provides a blend of inspiration, discipline, and challenge that has benefited my kids beyond their athletic pursuits.

They helped me a lot with increasing my athleticism and mobility. And their football camp was helpful for increasing my IQ.

My son has trained with Derek in both semi-private sessions and now team training, and we’ve already seen noticeable results in just a couple of months. Derek brings great energy and is a positive motivator for the athletes he works with. His dedicated training facility is equipped with new technology and top-quality equipment, creating a professional environment and a top-notch experience.

Derek and Phalen have been awesome! I have been coming for football workouts and also just speed and strength for multiple years and it’s always been fun. My 40 time has increased by .4 seconds and I have also gotten better with the defensive concepts we have gone over. I am getting JV playing time right now and I know some of the reason is because of what Phalen taught at the camp. It’s been a great experience coming to B.A.P and after football season i will definitely be coming back.

Has the knowledge and flexibility to give me a helpful workout when I show up and tell him that I tweaked my back the night before. Perfect for a middle aged guy like me. Definitely feel stronger and more flexible since working out with him. Great guy. Love spending time in his gym.

Derek is amazing! My son has been training with him for a couple years now and you can really see the difference! Derek has helped my son get stronger, faster, more prepared for football and most importantly he's built his confidence level. Derek knows what he's doing and takes the time to coach/train each individual to make sure they reach their full potential. Can't wait to see the progress he makes continuing to work out with Derek over the next several years!

Derek is responsive, knowledgeable, and invested...not just in the now, but in the long-term vision for our son as an athlete. His communication is clear, encouraging, and purposeful. Derek's ability to break down movement, expand the literacy of it all, build foundational strength, and coach with intention has helped our son grow in skill, confidence, and athleticism. We’d confidently recommend him to anyone and are excited for him to work with our daughter when the time comes.

This affordable and extremely professional performance company has been nothing short of amazing. My son has attended many agility camps and has seen his results in all areas of running and flexibility sky rocket!! We have even decided to partner with them for our select baseball program. The owner, Derek, is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He not only commits himself and his business to the betterment and health of my son, but he has also made it his personal goal to support youth programs across the community!!
