Life Performance Enhancement represents the future in fitness, sport performance, and rehabilitation. LPE has been servicing the needs of San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange county for 21 years.
All clients receive a Musculoskeletal assessment. This gives LPE an exhaustive understanding of their current state of physicality. A personal program can then be created that provides the client with a program that enhances their individual needs for mobility, flexibility, functional movement, strength, and power that pertains to their personal goals.
LPE clients include MLB, USA Track & Field, NAIA, NCAA, PGA athletes as well as fitness enthusiates from San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.
athletic experience is valuable for the coach to have. Those coaches who have coached at multiple levels will provide a wider array of communication skills and teaching techniques which will yield in faster understanding of the student. Education is very important as well as additional credentials. An area of expertise demonstates a desire for absolute undersatnding and will usually yeild a superior understanding of the sport discipline.

Excellent! Gave me some useful tips to follow in my initial set up. Recorded my swing to analyze. Worked on my set up for woods, irons, chipping abd putting. Also a better way to aim at the hole.

Coach Derek structures every workout to the specific needs of our teen. Coach is very mindful of what our son needs in order to be the best athlete he can be. We appreciate that he shares the amazing way that God created our bodies to move and function. Coach Derek has taken time to come to games, watch videos, and give feedback on what he sees, as well as using that to adjust future workouts. Our son truly enjoys his time with Coach and we feel it has made a big difference for him.
I have had an amazing experience. My coach has fought me many different things through this program to make me an overall better athlete.
Coach Derek has been a great Coach for my son. My son responds well to Coach and loves working with him. My son has become stronger all around and gets complimented on the mound for his improved mechanics. Derek has definitely shown my son how hard work pays off. Highly recommended if you are looking for an all around physical and mental Coach with great knowledge of the body and the game.
Derek has been working with our son for several weeks now. He has worked with his natural skill set making the necessary changes to refine and improve his pitching and hitting. He is patient, methodical and really knows baseball.
I learned a lot about baseball and how my muscles work together to help me perform at my best. This program helped me with arm care and arm strength. Also, it made it so I was more explosive and had a faster first step. I have grown a lot through the program and now I have a better arm and more velocity on my throw.
I liked working at life performance enhancement because I did movements and exercises my body has never done which helped my strength and flexibility. It pushed me to my limits and I became stronger and more physical.
I have had the privilege of training with Derek for my upcoming baseball season. I have played professionally for 7 years and have been using my time with him to further progress my skills. He is training me to be able to maximize my body all working together. I highly recommend him whether you are an athlete, rehabbing an injured y, or looking to get into the best shape possible.
