PERFORMANCE DOESN'T STOP AT THE GYM.

Training matters. But what athletes do outside the gym matters too. Total Athlete was created to help athletes make better decisions about how they fuel, recover, prepare, and perform.

WHERE IT STARTED

BUILT FROM DIVERGENT PERFORMANCE.

Total Athlete grew out of what we see every day at Divergent Performance.

Divergent Performance is an athletic performance training academy in Warrenton, Virginia, built around the individual development of each athlete.

Through working with athletes, we've learned that training is only part of the equation. How you fuel, hydrate, recover, sleep, and prepare outside the gym matters too.

We created Total Athlete to make those decisions simpler—sharing products and resources we trust, understand, and use ourselves.
