Because TPS is an athletic gym and not a commercial fitness facility, our equipment has been specifically chosen for effectiveness, not popularity.

We have many specialized pieces, that other facilities’ budgets simply won’t allow for, that clients and athletes require for proper strength development. This attention to our customer’s needs and not aesthetics or budget, ensures that everyone who trains at TPS gets the best equipment possible.

And if you’re into lifting some serious weight, Total Performance Sports is a heavy-lifters heaven. We have all the necessary Strongman, Powerlifting, and Olympic lifting equipment you need to train for speed and explosive strength.

Olympic lifters, Powerlifters and Strongmen require a certain training environment that is very different than the average gym and equipment that allows them to perform heavy lifts in a safe environment and we have enough plates, dumbbells, kettlebells, bars, and chalk to keep every lifter happy.

Check out some of the training tools that set us apart from the competition.

  • 4 Lifting Platforms. These are not only appropriate lifting surfaces, but also ‘safety zones’ where only one athlete at a time is allowed to lift. This greatly reduces the risk of accidents.

  • Glute/Ham Benches. Every gym should have one of these, but almost none do. We have three! Many exercises can be performed utilizing these benches, but the Glute/Hamstring Raise (GHR) is one of the single most important exercises in any athlete’s program. The GHR works the glutes/hamstrings/lower back/calves (a.k.a. Posterior Chain) as a single, ‘functional’ muscle unit just as it is engaged in running, skating, jumping, etc. This is a primary tool that we use to reduce the risk of knee injury as well.

  • Unusual, Odd Objects. Unusual objects such as sandbags, heavy medicine balls, kettlebells, kegs, etc, add a new dynamic to training. They require a tremendous number of stabilization muscles to be used when lifting, and unlike machines they build a tremendous amount of transferable strength. And they’re fun to use.

  • EliteFTS Equipment. With racks, benches, bars, and more, this is simply the best designed training equipment, bar none. We have as much as we can fit in the gym.

  • Strongman Equipment. Strongman style training greatly increases strength, explosiveness, endurance and guts. We are experts in this field and we have a huge variety of training tools including: tires for flipping, Atlas stones, farmer’s walk handles, logs, sledgehammers and more. We also have a full Strongman training area downstairs in a separate building with two platforms, squat racks, a stone box and more..

  • Prowler & Sleds. Much has been written on the effectiveness of dragging and pushing sleds – and it’s all true! We have several different types of sleds, including the “Prowler”. Come down and see this for yourself.

  • Full gym of traditional barbells, dumbbells and other unique, hand selected equipment.
