Sports performance training is training of the mind and body to prepare the athlete for the rigors of specifics sports. It is different from personal training in that the athlete is conditioned and prepared properly mentally and physically to compete in their respective sports rather than broad general fitness.
Sports performance training has become very popular among athletes in the last two decades because of its positive impact on some of the top premier athletes in the world of professional sports. This style of training helps maximize performance which prepares and gives advantage over the competition. Athletes who participate in an integrated performance training see their athleticism increase, their strength, power, endurance, flexibility, speed, agility and quickness improve.
The demand of personal trainers has increased over the years do in part to the escalation of various health problems such as obesity, diabetes, asthma and the advancing age of Americans. Chronic disease and heart related issues are rising dramatically which could be preventable. The causes of this rise are poor lifestyle choices, lack of exercise and poor eating habits. Now more than ever we see the collaboration of the medical field and personal trainers in wellness settings. This has positively impacted the health and wellness of those individual who invested in their health.
Benefits of strength training include: increased muscle mass, stronger bones, joint flexibility, weight control, balance, improved quality of life, increased energy and mood, and increased self confidence.

His constant approach to health being wealth is not only something he preaches about, but something he practices. Coach E will definitely get you to your fitness goals.
Emmanuel Coulibaly is a superb personal trainer whose incredible work ethic is matched only by his incredible humanity. He gives clients his all, tailoring his training regimens to the individual, whether you are a college baller with pro aspirations or a regular Joe like me who is just trying to stay in good enough shape to keep his pickup game on point. I enjoy the camaraderie E and I have, and respect the knowledge and rigor he brings to his craft.
I want to thank Coach E for his professionalism and his drive for excellence. He has consistently pushed me towards my goals and his workouts are tailor made to meet my needs. I am impressed by his depth of knowledge and he really gets me motivated. When I first started with Coach E I was very de-conditioned but after just a couple of months he has got me doing things I haven’t done in years. I am getting stronger day by day and I’m excited about my progress. Thanks to Coach E’s leadership I am inspired to keep training hard and I’m committed to living a healthy lifestyle!
I have been training with Emmanuel for the last 5 years. In that time, he has impressed me as one of the best in his field. Emmanuel helped me successfully recover from a ruptured achilles tendon in March 2019. Today, I am moving even better than before the injury!
His knowledge, professionalism and character are all second-to-none. I would recommend Emmanuel to anyone serious about achieving better health and fitness!

As we understand performance for an athlete comes with a full package of strength, power, endurance, flexibility, and SAQ (speed, agility, quickness). All these components have to be worked on for the athlete to be able (have the ability) to perform at their peak; getting better in all cylinders is the name of the game. Improved athleticism definitely helps the athlete’s performance but mainly provides more efficient functional movements for their respective sport.
U.G.I.S. offers training in several locations throughout the DC/DMV region, even at your gym.
