The FAST Lab

Everything we do at The FAST Lab is focused on one thing...making you a FASTER, STRONGER, and BETTER athlete.

We are a sports performance training, testing, and injury prevention center. We pride ourselves on utilizing state-of-the-art testing to find and correct muscle imbalances and movement patterns that dramatically impact athletic performance. We work with endurance athletes including road cyclists and mountain bikers as well as triathletes from recreational to elite competitive athletes. Combined with classes, testing and full service coaching, we work to integrate services with innovative techniques to help our athletes achieve their ultimate success.

MOVE BETTER. FEEL STRONGER. PERFORM BEYOND LIMITS.

Your body is designed to move. Pain, stiffness, and performance plateaus don’t have to define your limits.

At FASTLAB, we combine sports medicine, exercise physiology, and personalized strategies to help you address pain, restore movement, optimize performance, and build a body that lasts.

⚡ Treat the cause. Build capacity. Unlock your potential.

Whether your goal is to get back to doing what you love, train harder, recover smarter, or perform at your highest level — let’s find your next breakthrough.

You can optimize your VO₂max, track your HRV, dial in your nutrition and follow a meticulously designed training plan…

But what if your body is repeatedly struggling to breathe while you sleep?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an often-overlooked condition in sports and performance medicine.

Repeated airway obstruction can fragment sleep, cause intermittent oxygen desaturation and increase sympathetic nervous system activity. Over time, untreated OSA is associated with important cardiovascular consequences.

And no, being lean, muscular or aerobically fit does not automatically protect you.

The evidence connecting sleep apnea specifically to athletic performance is still developing, but the clinical implications are significant enough that persistent fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, loud snoring or witnessed breathing pauses deserve attention.

Your performance is not just a function of how hard you train. It’s also a function of how well your physiology recovers.

If you suspect sleep apnea, seek a clinical evaluation. A wearable cannot diagnose it, and supplements cannot replace appropriate treatment.

At FASTLAB, we believe in a precision approach: measure, interpret, prescribe, monitor and adapt.

🥦 Your grandmother was onto something.

Broccoli isn’t a performance-enhancing drug—and it shouldn’t be marketed as one.

But it contains a fascinating group of compounds, particularly glucosinolates and their derivatives such as sulforaphane, that interact with cellular defense pathways including Nrf2.

For athletes, the interesting concept isn’t simply “more antioxidants.”

It’s resilience and adaptation.

Exercise creates oxidative stress. That’s part of the signal that drives adaptation. Rather than trying to eliminate every molecule of ROS, we’re increasingly interested in supporting the body’s own endogenous defense and repair systems.

And broccoli is a delicious way to bring several of these compounds into the diet alongside fiber, micronutrients and other phytochemicals.

One of my favorite performance principles:

Don’t ask “What supplement should I take?” before asking “What biological environment am I creating every day?”

🥦 Food first.
🏋️ Train intelligently.
😴 Recover deeply.
🧬 Then use technology and supplements strategically.

Got a race, ride, or endurance goal on the calendar? 🚴

A goal gives you somewhere to go. Personalized coaching helps you build the structure to get there.

Healthspan isn’t just about living longer. It’s about how well you can move, perform, recover, and live as you age.

The goal is to stay strong, capable, resilient, and independent for longer. That’s why at The FAST Lab, we believe in a simple approach:

MEASURE → UNDERSTAND → TRAIN → RETEST

VO₂ max. Strength. Lactate. Movement. Recovery. Metabolic health.

What you measure gives you a starting point. What you train can help shape your trajectory. And what you retest helps you understand whether your strategy is working.

Don’t wait until you notice your fitness declining.
Measure it. Train it. Protect it.

Your future self is your most important athlete. 🏃‍♀️💪

Make healthspan part of your performance plan.

🩸 Your hemoglobin can be “normal” while your iron status isn’t.

That’s one of the most important shifts in how we think about iron deficiency.

Iron is not simply about preventing anemia. It plays a critical role in oxygen transport, mitochondrial energy production, muscle function and exercise performance.

And for athletes, the consequences of inadequate iron availability can show up as:

→ unexplained fatigue
→ declining endurance
→ poor recovery
→ reduced training capacity
→ changes in exercise tolerance

The key is not simply asking “Is my hemoglobin normal?”

We need to understand the whole picture.

At FAST Lab, we combine:

🩸 Functional laboratory assessment — looking at iron stores, iron availability, inflammation and relevant nutritional markers.

🫁 PNOĒ metabolic testing — measuring VO₂max, ventilatory thresholds, oxygen utilization and metabolic responses to exercise.

🥗 Functional health coaching — addressing nutrition, absorption, training load, recovery and potential contributors to persistent low iron.

Because the goal isn’t just to increase a lab value.

The goal is to understand WHY iron is low and determine whether correcting it translates into better physiology and performance.

Measure → Understand → Intervene → Re-measure.

Your body is giving you data.
We help you learn how to read it.

Pain while running isn’t something you should simply “push through.” It may be your body telling you that something in your movement, strength, mobility, running mechanics, or training load needs attention.

A Functional Running Assessment helps identify the why behind your pain so we can build a smarter strategy to help you run better, move better, and stay injury-free.

Don’t wait until pain becomes an injury.
