Explosive Performance

What Explosive Performance does

Explosive Performance is a premium athletic performance training brand operated as a division of Onelife Fitness, a private multi-state fitness chain headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The company serves youth (ages 9-14), elite high-school athletes (15-18), college and professional athletes (18+), adult fitness clients, and sports teams through five core programs: Youth Training, EP Elite, College and Pro, EP Adult, and Team Training. All programs are delivered using a proprietary methodology called EP Workout Anatomy that sequences Movement Prep, Dynamic Warm-up, Strength and Power Training, Speed/Agility/Quickness, Energy Systems Development (ESD), and Regeneration/Recovery within each session. Training is delivered individually, semi-privately, in groups, in team formats, and onsite at client facilities, with delivery concentrated at Onelife Fitness gyms across eight U.S. states (Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia).

The company's go-to-market combines field sales for team and corporate wellness contracts with consumer-side personal training sales, free trial offers, phone-based inquiry handling, and team registration through the MotionVibe scheduling platform. Marketing relies on earned-media credibility from elite athlete endorsements and client success stories. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services (paid training sessions and team training contracts) with a subscription/recurring component embedded in Onelife Fitness memberships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Customer reference points include 30 Olympians trained (including Katie Ledecky), 7 Olympic gold medals won by EP athletes, 100+ professional athletes (across NFL and USWNT including Lorenzo Alexander, Antwaan Randle El, Ashlyn Harris, Becky Sauerbrunn, Kedric Golston, Chris Wilson), 1,000+ Division I scholarship athletes, 80+ high-school state champion teams, and 15,000+ athletes trained annually. Notable team partnerships include Nation's Capital Swim Club (NCAP) and the USWNT (including the 2015 World Cup champion squad).
