Really great experience with our middle school daughter. The athletic gains are great, and real. More importantly she comes home full of confidence with a great understanding of how to properly train. Could not be any more impressed.

Ohio Athletic Performance has been a game‑changer for our baseball program. For four years, they’ve provided speed and strength training that not only improved our athletes physically, but also built confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of teamwork. Their coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and fully invested in each athlete’s growth. The environment they create is supportive, challenging, and fun — exactly what young athletes need to thrive. We’ve seen tremendous progress across the board, and OAP has played a major role in our success. We highly recommend their program to any team or program looking to take the next step.

I’ve been training with this organization for 6 years now! Their dedicated location in Westerville is up to date with top of the line equipment, and it’s in a convenient location for me. DJ has been an awesome trainer by personalizing workouts to suit my needs at that time.

Ohio Athletic Performance has not only transformed me as an athlete, but a person as well. I have been training for 3 years, 2 in the academy and 1 in High School group. Both amazing, and couldn’t recommend more for athletes looking to play at the next level or just trying to improve overall athleticism. All trainers there are extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. As someone with little to no training experience before joining OAP, my athletic career has shifted completely and I now feel ready to compete at a D1 level. I can’t say enough positive things about Austin and the environment created in the academy, it is an incredibly welcoming and positive environment that ultimately pushes me to be a better athlete. As a current junior, I am extremely proud and thankful for my time at OAP to this point, and am ecstatic to continue my training.

OAP has challenged me and pushed me to get better every single day. The coaches are all amazing and always willing to help. They don’t just do weight training they also do recovery and speed/agility training which is super nice. I highly recommend OAP.

Ohio Athletic Performance has been much more than just a place to get stronger, it’s a place where I’ve grown as an athlete and person. The relationships I’ve built with the coaches make it 10x better, they truly care about you as a person and learn the best ways to push you to your fullest potential, even when it’s uncomfortable. Before joining OAP Academy my times on the track were a 27.64 in the 200 and a 1:03 in the 400. Since training here I’ve improved to a 25.84 and a 58.42. This improvement wouldn’t have been possible with the right support that OAP has given me. If you’re looking to improve your physical and mental performance I highly recommend OAP.

OAP has helped me become stronger and faster throughout my training. I only wish I had started sooner! The speed training and lifting programs have made a huge difference in my performance. OAP has truly started to prepare me for when I head to Robert Morris University.
