 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a professional athlete working through the transition of no longer having access to collegiate athletic resources and coaching, I reach out to OAP to help take my career to the next level. They evaluated my previous collegiate injuries and developed a plan to strengthen those areas and improve my overall athletic capacity in my given sport. My body has never felt stronger and I feel as primed as I've ever felt leading up to my professional season. They are a great group of guys who are extremely knowledgeable, personable, and intelligent at what they do. I highly recommend their services as the results speak for themselves!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ohio Athletic Performance has been an outstanding experience for our family. The coaches are amazing with kids — they know how to challenge them while keeping the sessions fun and motivating. Our child has gotten noticeably stronger, faster, and more confident since training here. The environment is positive, encouraging, and built around real skill development. Couldn’t recommend OAP more for athletes of any age!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. OAP completely transformed my athletic development and prepared me for the next level at the University of Michigan. From day one, the coaches built a program tailored to my strengths and weaknesses, pushing me beyond what I thought I was capable of. The training wasn’t just about lifting weights or running drills it was about building discipline, resilience, and confidence.

What stood out most was the attention to detail. Every session had a clear purpose, whether it was improving speed, agility, or recovery. The staff genuinely cared about my progress, and their guidance helped me not only excel physically but also mentally as I transition into the demands of college athletics.

Thanks to OAP, I will arrive at Michigan stronger, faster, and more prepared than ever. If you’re serious about reaching your full potential, OAP is the place to be.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for any age and an unbelievable weight room and training center. The training area is very accommodating and allows for a multitude of training variations and allows the team to train individually and as a team. The openness of the turf really allows for a large group to get after it. Highly recommend to any team or individual player looking to elevate their play.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 10yo son trains at OAP and he loves it! He’s currently going twice a week — sometimes speed training and sometimes strength. The baseball cages are huge, the turf is really nice, there’s a ton of equipment to use for every need, and the staff is phenomenal. Can’t wait to see how much he improves in baseball and football!
