and rehabilitation

Vaughn Maye has over four decades of experience. He works with everyone from professional athletes to seniors and people recovering from serious accidents.

How Vaughn works

Vaughn looks beyond the symptoms to find the root cause of pain, injury or stalled progress. Each program is built around your goals, health history and current ability, combining strength training, mobility work, nutrition coaching and hands-on therapy as needed.

His approach is evidence-based and practical. He explains why each exercise and habit matters, so you understand how to reach your goals and maintain them. Clients train in a supportive, family-oriented environment.

Downstairs training facility

The downstairs facility is the main training space. It has a full range of free weights, benches, racks, cable stations and plate-loaded machines for strength, conditioning, rehabilitation and general fitness.

Strength training for muscle development and performance

Build lean muscle and strength with evidence-based training and nutrition strategies.

Vaughn teaches you to train effectively and safely, with a program designed to maximize muscle growth while keeping injury risk low. Sessions focus on proper technique, progressive overload and balanced recovery.

Strength training for longevity and healthy aging

Build strength for independence, stronger bones and a healthy metabolism as you get older.

Muscle mass declines with age, a process called sarcopenia. Progressive strength training helps counter that loss so you can maintain your mobility, independence and long-term health. Exercises are adapted to your current ability.

Outdoor turf and training pavilion

A turf lane runs the length of the property beside an open-air training pavilion. The space is used for sprints, agility drills and conditioning, with a TANK M4 push-pull sled, suspension trainers, tires, ropes and agility ladders. The sled’s magnetic resistance rises with your speed, so it suits everyone from seniors to athletes.

Sports performance and conditioning

Sport-specific strength, speed, agility and power training to improve performance and durability.

Programs also cover injury prevention, conditioning for a return to play after injury, and energy-system training for recovery and game readiness.

Functional mobility and lifestyle coaching

Improve your daily quality of life through better mobility, strength and informed lifestyle choices.

Functional movement training is combined with practical knowledge about nutrition, recovery and daily routine to help you build habits that last.

Separate training building

A second, climate-controlled training building on the property has its own machines, free weights, kettlebells, heavy bags and medicine balls, with open floor space for strength, conditioning and bag work.

Metabolic health and weight management

Personalized programs that combine exercise, nutrition and lifestyle coaching to support fat loss, strength, mobility and metabolic health.

The goal is to lose fat while preserving muscle. Tailored workouts, practical nutrition strategies and age-appropriate adjustments build habits that support your energy, digestion and weight control over the long term.

Diabetes prevention and insulin resistance management

Exercise and nutrition strategies designed to improve insulin sensitivity and help stabilize blood sugar, for people working to prevent or manage type 2 diabetes.

Programs combine aerobic, anaerobic and resistance training with practical meal structure to support blood sugar control. Addressing insulin resistance early can help you manage your energy levels and build a stronger foundation for long-term health.

Rehabilitation room and main-floor equipment

The main floor has a dedicated rehabilitation room with a treatment table for assessments and hands-on therapy, plus a few machines for rehabilitation exercises.

Rehabilitation and mobility

Corrective exercise, mobility training and rehabilitation for people dealing with pain, stiffness or limited movement after an injury or surgery.

Each program is personalized and focuses on restoring function and range of motion, improving flexibility and posture, and preventing setbacks or re-injury.

Myofascial release therapy

Hands-on techniques that target trigger points and muscle tension to improve tissue quality and movement.

Vaughn uses targeted soft-tissue work to improve range of motion, ease stiffness and support your return to activity.

Hands-on therapies

Dry needling applied to a person’s back

Dry needling

Fine needles are inserted into trigger points, the tight knots that form in a muscle. Dry needling is used to release muscle tightness, improve range of motion and support recovery, often alongside exercise.

Compression band therapy (tissue flossing)

A tight elastic band is wrapped around a joint or muscle while you move it through a set of exercises, then removed. It is used to ease stiffness and improve range of motion in irritated joints, tight muscles and restricted tissue.
