What is “Performance”?
At PH Performance, you hear us talk a lot about "improving performance"—but what does that really mean?
When we talk about performance, we're not just thinking about elite athletes or high-level competition. Here, performance is personal. It’s about how well you can function, achieve your goals, and meet the demands of your daily life. Improving performance means getting closer to your best, whatever that looks like for you—not measuring yourself against anyone else’s abilities or expectations.
So, what might improving performance look like? It could be…
Running or walking your first 5K or marathon without injury.
Not feeling exhausted after a long day at work so you can enjoy your evenings.
Lifting more weight in the gym, playing longer on the field, or simply feeling stronger in your body.
For many, performance also means having the energy to keep up with kids or grandkids, the strength to tackle daily tasks without hesitation, and the resilience to handle whatever life throws your way. It’s about making sure you have the stamina, energy, and mental focus to live the life you want.
Performance is Personal
Everyone’s journey looks different, and what "performance" means will vary from person to person. Maybe you’re aiming to get stronger and push your physical limits, or perhaps you’re focused on maintaining energy levels as you age. For some, it might even mean simply waking up without pain or building the stamina to take longer walks with loved ones. No matter your starting point or goal, focusing on performance will help you live a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilled life.
The Benefits of Training for Performance
Improving your performance is about more than hitting numbers or milestones; it’s about empowering yourself to live better. Training for performance can help you:
Boost physical resilience – A performance-centered approach builds strength and durability, so you can do more with less risk of injury.
Enhance mental clarity and focus – Performance training often incorporates techniques that build mental as well as physical endurance, helping you stay focused and present.
Increase energy levels – As your fitness improves, you’ll likely notice more energy to tackle both the day’s physical and mental demands.
Promote overall health and longevity – Performance-focused training improves cardiovascular health, strengthens muscles and bones, and helps maintain a healthy weight, all of which support long-term health.
Train for function – Performance training is about building the strength and endurance to do the things that are most important to you, whether it’s hiking, lifting a grandchild, or handling everyday activities with ease.
