The trainers at EXOS work from the philosophy that the needs of the athlete and the desk jockey aren ’ t all that different . BY STEVE MAHANAHAN
WHAT IS PERFORMANCE ? It ’ s a question that seems fairly straightforward , but answers can vary wildly depending on whom you ask . Ask a powerlifter . Then a marathon runner . Or , perhaps , an elite computer programmer . You ’ d get three very different answers , and all three would be right .

It ’ s thinking like this that influences the team at EXOS . EXOS , a worldwide set of more than 400 training facilities ( 12 of which are open to the public , the rest are military and corporate facilities ), caters to everyone from pro football players looking to shave time off their 40 to businesspeople hoping to gain an edge and applies the same training and nutrition framework to each . “ Performance is different for everyone , but if you look at it from a benefits standpoint , the notion tends to click a little bit easier ,” says Joel Totoro , nutrition solution manager at EXOS .
