Meet Chad Gillaspy
I grew up as a small-town multi-sport all-state athlete and fell in love with strength and conditioning after seeing how a dedication to smarter training could unlock real performance. That drive carried me through an All-American college career at Evangel University and professional stops in Canada, NBA G-League, Italy, ABA, and The Basketball League.
Along the way, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Recreation, a minor in Personal Training, and advanced credentials including Champion Performance Specialist, BioForce Conditioning Coach, NSPA Certified Speed and Agility, Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and Certified Biomechanics Specialist to name a few. I now use that experience and knowledge to coach athletes and driven adults toward better performance.
Why Athletes Trust Me
My playing experience, combined with training experience and education, give me a very unique perspective in the industry. Combine it with focused coaching and a relentless drive to always improve, I help turn your consistent work into measurable performance gains.

From Small Town To Pro
I started as a small-town high school basketball and baseball player with little knowledge of physical preparation. Once I discovered how structured strength and conditioning could transform strength, speed, power, and confidence, I wanted to learn everything I could.
That curiosity led me to an All-American college career and professional contracts in multiple leagues, where I learned how to stay ready through long seasons, off-seasons, and the mental grind of performing at a higher level.
Coaching Built On Education
Alongside competing, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Recreation with a minor in Personal Training, completed a Cressey Sports Performance internship, and added certifications in performance, conditioning, biomechanics, and pain-free training.
That education combined with personal experience shapes every program I create. My approach emphasizes long-term development, injury reduction, recovery, and helping athletes and adults reach performance levels they once thought were out of reach.
