About the Club

At Odyssey Performance, we specialize in velocity training for high school athletes, utilizing advanced technology like velocity encoders to track bar speed and power output. This helps optimize strength, speed, and explosiveness by providing real-time feedback, ensuring athletes are training at the optimal intensity. For our youth athletes, we focus on comprehensive performance metrics beyond just strength. We use tools like timing gates, jump mats, and key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess agility, speed, and athleticism. These metrics are regularly tracked to monitor progress, identify areas for improvement, and set specific goals, ensuring each athlete builds a solid foundation for long-term success in their sports.

This place is incredible!! We started here with personal training sessions for our daughter who plays softball. She was nervous about the group workouts so working 1:1 coach Ty helped build her confidence and she has transitioned to group classes. Her strength and speed have really improved working with this team! The owner Desean is a great coach and fosters an amazing and supportive community of athletes! So happy our search led us to Odyssey Performance, little did I know a Google search of North County / Vista area speed training would lead to such positive results both mentally and physically for my athlete. Looking forward to working with them for many years to come!

Having recently embarked on a search for a new fitness facility, ideally situated for my commute, I extensively explored several gyms, utilizing guest passes to gauge their offerings. However, my visit to Odyssey has concluded my search; it immediately distinguished itself as the superior choice.

Its prime location, perfectly aligned with my daily route between work and home, offered a level of convenience I found truly unparalleled. Beyond the practical aspect, the facility itself was incredibly maintained and exuded an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the expansive selection of state-of-the-art machines and free weights, all meticulously organized, ensuring plenty space and virtually no waiting time, even during peak hours.

A standout moment was having the pleasure of personally meeting Adam, the owner. His genuine hospitality and willingness to connect made me feel not just welcomed, but truly valued, reinforcing the positive impression of Odyssey's community-focused ethos.

Based on this exceptional experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Odyssey. It's not merely a gym for individual fitness pursuits, but a truly remarkable environment that I believe would greatly benefit and warmly welcome your entire family.

Our son couldn’t be happier with this gym. The coaches here really understand how to train middle and high school athletes — not just for strength and conditioning, but for confidence, discipline, and proper technique. The programs are well-structured, sport-specific, and designed to help teens reach their full potential safely.

What stands out most is how the trainers balance motivation and accountability. They take time to teach correct form, explain the “why” behind each workout, and push the athletes in a positive, encouraging way. You can see the improvement not only in performance, but also in how these kids carry themselves on and off the field.

The facility is clean, organized, and always full of great energy. The schedule offers lots of class options, which sets it apart from similar gyms. This place is the real deal.

Odyssey Performance is hands down the best kids fitness gym in Oceanside. From day one, Coach Desean has gone above and beyond—not just in fitness training, but in building our children’s confidence, discipline, and character. After trying other gyms, the choice was clear—nothing compares to the genuine care, instruction, and integrity of Coach Desean, Coach KJ, and Coach Ty. Our three kids are growing stronger mentally and physically, and they’ve gained a true foundation in fitness. We’re proud to be part of this community and highly recommend Odyssey to any family looking for more than just a workout—it’s a place where kids (and adults) grow from the inside out.

I can’t say enough good things about Odyssey. As a mom of a 15-year-old boy who’s always been into sports, I’ve watched my son absolutely thrive since he started coming here. The classes are fantastic—well-structured and perfectly suited to his needs The instructors are great; they really know how to connect with the kids.

Since he started training here, I’ve seen him grow faster and stronger. His speed on the field has improved so much. The best part is the confidence he’s gained.

This place has been a game-changer for us, and I’d recommend it to any parent looking to help their teen level up, both physically and mentally!

My 12 year old has been working out at Odyssey for the last 8 months and it has been a great experience for him! He greatly enjoys the coaches as they do an excellent job of connecting to the kids at their level while also teaching them how to work out safely. He regularly attends both the speed classes and the weight training classes. Since starting speed classes he has improved so much that people often comment on how fast he is in sports. As he gets older and starts to work out more and more on his own, the time he spends at Odyssey will be so important to ensure he knows the safest and most effective ways to work out.

My son is 13 and has been training with Odyssey for about 3 years now. Most notably his experience has greatly improved his self confidence. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and firm. We have seen strides in his endurance and strength and he looks forward to training days. He appreciates the positive environment and the coaches teaching style. He feels like he's learning life long skills for good form. There are a variety of training exercises offered making it a well rounded program for any athlete. And Desean, the owner, is a stellar human! He's a great role model.

The coaching at Odyssey Performance took my athletes to the next level.

My oldest began training at Odyssey the summer before freshman year. He was going into a very competitive sports high school and even though he previously played football and travel basketball, we knew going into high school the competition to make an impact on the teams was going to be tough. He thought he was doing everything he could to get better, but Odyssey is what set him apart. After just 3 months his physique, endurance, and strength dramatically improved and it showed in his athletic performance.

He began training 3 days a week in group classes led by multiple coaches. It doesn’t matter which coach you train with, they are all on the same page. The first week my son had difficulty keeping up with the challenges, but I watched the coach Desean sit with him and talk him through the mental barriers, allowing him to progress physically. Then he took off.

Freshman year he made all the teams he tried out for, and became a starter by the end of the season. Varsity football Coach Hauser noticed his excellent form and dynamic power in the weight room immediately. He continued training at Odyssey after practices and on weekends. By sophomore year he was called up to varsity, and was a playmaker on the football team. He had his first in game dunk sophomore year of basketball, after Desean taught him how to jump with purpose and confidence.

He’s now rounding the end of his junior year, preparing for his senior year and still choosing to train at Odyssey. He’s been contacted by multiple college recruiters for athletics and plans to continue to play in college. We give our son a lot of credit for putting in the extra work, but the atmosphere Odyssey gives has made the training easier. Connecting with other advanced athletes from teams in the area he wouldn’t have otherwise connected with.

Odyssey Performance helped my athletes become bigger, faster, stronger, but it also gave them responsibility, accountability, and confidence. Everyone goes to practice. It’s what you do in addition to practice that sets you apart.

My daughter has been attending Odyssey for over a year now and loves it. The facility is nice and clean. The trainers provide great workouts to help with their sports and prevent injuries. They’re very knowledgeable and are very supportive with the kids. My daughter will never miss a workout. Her strength and performance has improved tremendously and most of all her confidence.

Desean and team are awesome. While most of the attendees are specific/multi-sports athletes, my 15 yr old son was not. Actually had never lifted a weight before. They were welcoming and taught him form when lifting and he loves it now! While still a more shy kid, I have noticed he is more open to leading small groups in school and speaking out, which I think I can attribute to the instructors at Odyssey pushing him to speak up as well as him being physically stronger. I can say enough good things about them and recommend them wholeheartedly to sport specific kids looking to get faster/stronger or kids looking to just get stronger/faster and more healthy in their own lives. You won't regret it.

Odyssey is the absolute best place to workout. Desean has helped me reach so many of my lifting goals and has made me actually like running-which I never thought would happen. Not only does he coach great in the weight room, but outside of the weight room he continues to support his athletes and clients by going to games and practices, and he gives great life advice. All of his staff is also super helpful and I know I can go to any one of them to help me out with anything I need while working out. Very thankful for Odyssey!

My team are the strongest theyve ever been, and they truly enjoy going to lift at odyssey. I would recommend this facility to anyone (young or old) who is looking to get stronger in a fun environment.

Desean, the owner of Odyssey, told me that he consistently wakes up at around 5am every weekday to manage his business. He then uses his weekends to be there for the kids he trains into athletes and it’s been amazing to see. I trust what he does there and would recommend this place to any aspiring athlete in the tricity area!

Both my kids have been going to Odyssey gym for about a year. Coach DeSean is great with the kids. He works with athletes in many different sports. My daughter attends for strength and conditioning for club soccer and my son has been going for basketball. He has balance and coordination difficulties and spatial awareness issues and DeSean’s beginner classes have been so helpful! His core strength has improved and he is noticeably stronger and faster now! It’s not just a gym it’s a family experience!!

My son (12y) has been going to Odyssey for about 18 months now. This was his first introduction to conditioning and weights and he was nervous. But within five minutes of meeting Desean I could see him relax and lean in. My son is challenged each and every time he attends. He is pushed and stretched and driven towards a new goal each time. He comes out sweaty, tired and aching but is always looking forward to his next workout. Can’t ask for much more than that!

Not only does Odyssey Performance provide a service to our community with health and fitness, they give back to our youth in North County! Thanks to Coach DeSean and his team for volunteering their time with their S&A Clinic to Vista Girls Softball last weekend. As a certified HS Sports Strength & Agility Trainer myself, I am often critical of Trainers not modifying their workouts to fit age groups. This isn't the case with the Odyssey Team, who did a fantastic job with our T-Ball to 10u girls who all had a blast getting their fitness on!
