Ready to rev up your athletic performance, COLA? Enter: Apex Athletic Performance, a training facility focused on enhancing performance with customized workouts and an emphasis on post-workout recovery — plus, physical therapy, nutrition programs, a golf performance program, and more.

What we tried:

We caught up with SC State football player Patrick Godbolt and went through his tailored workout. Patrick is recovering from the previous season while prepping for Pro Day.

Here's what a typical workout plan looks like for an athlete:

Monday: Acceleration and lower body strength
Tuesday: Upper body, football skills, and physical therapy
Wednesday: Active recovery workout followed by the cold plunge pool to passively push blood through the system
Thursday: Speed, transitioning, and explosive lower body lifting
Friday: Upper body (to allow the legs time to recover)
Saturday: Starts and core technique

For Patrick, Monday and Thursday are his big days as he works on his 40-yard dash.

What not to miss:

Even if you aren't an athlete, you can still step up your skills with personal and private group training.

Each program, led by Prisma Health Orthopedics, takes a scientific approach to asses the areas that need improvement and make a plan for how to get there.

The facility is filled with everything an athlete needs, from high-quality equipment fitted with performance-tracking technology to physical therapy + rehabilitation, a golf performance program, and more.

What we’re still talking about:

The folks at Apex take a scientific approach, and the Motion Analysis and Performance Laboratory (MAP Lab) is a testament to that.

The lab is filled with state-of-the-art software and high-speed cameras providing in-depth evaluations to critical aspects of movement, like:

3D motion capture
Electromyography (EMG)
Force plates
Joint velocities

The MAP Lab is used to create tailored health and athletic performance solutions with programs, like:
