Testimonials

Trusted by Performance Coaches

I applied the periodization framework the same week — my athletes felt the difference immediately.

The content is dense, but Mike breaks it down in a way that makes sense. I rewrote my entire training plan after Module 6. This isn't theory — it's practical, field-tested coaching.

Carney A.

CSCS, Collegiate Coach

The most credible coaching education I've ever taken online.

I was skeptical about online certifications — I've wasted money on too many. But CHPC is different. Research-backed, clearly taught, and immediately applicable. My programming leveled up significantly.

Daniel O.

Finally, a certification I can put on my resume with confidence.

The name 'Dr. Mike Young' and 'Athletic Lab' carry weight in this industry. When I mention CHPC in job interviews, hiring managers know exactly what it means.
