Champion Physical Therapy and Performance

What Champion Physical Therapy and Performance does

Champion Physical Therapy and Performance is a privately held, Massachusetts-incorporated clinical and athletic training practice headquartered in Waltham, MA, founded in 2013 by Dr. Mike Reinold and Lenny Macrina. The company delivers an integrated stack of out-of-network physical therapy, sports performance training, and semi-private adult fitness under a single roof, supplemented by a dedicated online training platform and three specialty vertical programs (Elite Baseball/Softball, TPI-based Golf Performance, and Rowing Performance). Its customer base spans amateur youth athletes, collegiate and Olympic-level competitors, professional athletes from MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, PGA and Olympic disciplines, and active adults, with revenue generated predominantly through pay-as-you-go PT sessions, season-based and monthly sport performance memberships, monthly semi-private adult fitness subscriptions, and a one-time golf assessment package.

The clinical model rests on differentiated human capital: founders and roughly ten Doctors of Physical Therapy with credentials spanning prior roles with the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox, work at Dr. James Andrews' American Sports Medicine Institute, and a stack of internal C-PS and external TPI/SFMA/FMS certifications. The Waltham flagship is an 11,000 sq ft facility equipped for advanced assessment (VALD Force Plates, DASHR timing gates, BLAZE PODS, Trackman, Gymaware) and treatment (dry needling, blood flow restriction, class 4 cold laser, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, Normatec), with two additional PT-only satellite sites operated inside partner facilities in Needham and Dedham. Pricing is out-of-network for PT (patients pay at time of service and seek reimbursement), with season and monthly packages for sports performance, monthly semi-private memberships ($279.99-$379.99) for adult fitness, monthly online subscriptions, and a $499.99 one-time golf program.

Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, combining professional athlete endorsements and founder-driven content (Mike Reinold's blog, podcast, and educational products reaching hundreds of thousands of practitioners) with Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, email, and physician referrals. The company has no disclosed outside funding, parent entity, or M&A history, and operates as a regionally focused practice in the Greater Boston metro area with a digital extension through its online training platform.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Athletico Physical Therapy: Large multi-specialty outpatient PT chain with sports medicine, athletic training, and worker rehabilitation programs across the US—one of the most directly comparable scaled players, though operating primarily in-network rather than Champion's out-of-network specialist model.
• EXOS: National integrated human performance company providing physical therapy, sports performance, and wellness programs to professional sports teams, military, and corporate clients—same integrated PT + performance concept as Champion but at substantially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Athletes' Performance (now part of EXOS): Pioneer of the integrated sports performance + physical therapy model for NFL, MLB, and Olympic athletes; established the conceptual template Champion replicates at a regional scale, with deep ties to pro sports performance science.
• Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS Rehabilitation): Elite orthopedic hospital network with nationally recognized sports rehabilitation and performance programs serving professional athletes—a benchmark for clinical credibility and athlete relationships that Champion aspires to at a regional level.
• ATI Physical Therapy: Largest US outpatient physical therapy chain with integrated sports rehabilitation and athletic training services at hundreds of clinics—contrasts with Champion by leveraging in-network payor relationships and scale rather than out-of-network specialist positioning.

Direct peers

• Cressey Sports Performance: Massachusetts-based integrated baseball/thrower performance and rehabilitation facility co-founded by Eric Cressey, offering combined physical therapy, strength & conditioning, and athlete development for pro and amateur athletes—closely mirrors Champion's PT-plus-performance model and New England geography.
• Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning: Long-standing Greater Boston integrated strength & conditioning and rehabilitation provider serving athletes and active adults with a similar mix of adult fitness and athletic performance programming, distinguished by longtime industry reputation and parallel athlete/coach clientele.
• D1 Training: National sports performance training franchise offering athletic development for youth through adults with proprietary methodology—overlaps Champion's tiered youth/athlete adult programming but distributes via a franchise model rather than founder-led specialist clinics.

Emerging players

• Restore Hyper Wellness: Franchised recovery and wellness chain offering cryotherapy, compression, and similar modalities Champion uses (Normatec, cold laser)—adjacent rather than direct competition, but signals the broader retail expansion of recovery services Champion's clients already consume.

Regional players

• Joint Ventures Physical Therapy: Greater Boston-area outpatient sports and orthopedic physical therapy clinic emphasizing hands-on, 1-on-1 specialist care—directly competes for the same out-of-network, active-adult patient segment in Champion's home market.
