Achieve Your Physical Potential
Personalized Training on a Different Level
Group & One-on-One Personalized Training
Whether you’re looking for improved movement and fitness, recovering from injury, or an athlete wanting to improve performance, we can help you achieve your greatest physical potential.
Our clinically trained personal trainers are educated in advanced assessment and exercise techniques to best determine your individual needs and ensure the best results possible. Every client in our gym receives one-on-one attention at every workout session. This ensures you receive the training that best suits your goals to optimize your results.
Improving your movement and strengthening your body is instrumental in your overall health and well-being. Physical movement is excellent for the body and improves mental and emotional health by stabilizing your mood and reducing your stress.
Exercise should not be something that inspires anxiousness or fear, and at Total Performance, we ensure you feel confident in the plans our trainers create so you can feel confident in yourself.
We always start with a complete assessment of your body, and we incorporate optimal progression strategies as you move forward in your training to keep you safe and help avoid injury.
A strong, balanced body helps with numerous factors, including:
- Posture
- Comfort
- Correct movement
- Flexibility
- Range of motion
- Relaxation
- Sleep
- Focus
- Energy
- Efficiency
Healthy body, healthy life. Let’s do it. Contact our Grants Pass location so we can get you started down the road to recovery, designing an individualized solution program targeted to you.

We see it all the time.
People get motivated to make big changes in their lives. Really motivated. They sign-up with a local gym and hire a personal trainer. They modify their schedule to accommodate regular workouts. Three weeks into their program and things are going seemingly well. However, come week four, injury occurs. The individual becomes frustrated and discouraged, ending up in our office for treatment and management of the injury.
Sound familiar? Has this happened to you?
At Total Performance, we set out to fix this problem. We started by asking ourselves a couple key questions. Why were people getting hurt? Was it exercise in general? Was it doing too much? Was it their nutrition? Wrong supplement choices?
What we came to find out was that initial assessments were FAR from adequate. Sometimes there were NO assessments done at all prior to programming. Clients were essentially being thrown into exercise regimens without any understanding of what their bodies were and were not physically capable of.
This is a huge problem.
Performing an exercise program full of movements that the client is not physically capable of performing is a sure way to cause injury and, at best, won’t allow the individual to reach their full potential.
THIS is what makes us different. We use cutting-edge methods to fully evaluate and assess our training clients before we create their programs. We assess physical capacity, body composition, nutritional habits, and psychological factors to produce the safest, most effective programs available. When you couple this with highly trained, passionate trainers, great results are inevitable.
In addition to this, we can often take individuals who have experienced injury and seamlessly transition them from the clinic to the gym. This is a huge benefit of a clinic-gym hybrid. We can take previous injury history and apply it directly to the gym and future fitness programs.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
My original reason for coming to Total Performance was because of a severe injury to my iliopsoas during my freshman year of track in high school. I went to several other physicians and none of them even came close to figuring out what was wrong. I came to Total Performance and within one visit they found the source of my pain and a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders, I finally found someone who could help me and reassure me that my track career wasn’t over. I’ve stayed with Total Performance after graduating high school and moving onto my college track & field career at Northwest Christian University in Eugene, OR. Their entire staff wasn’t only focused on treating me as a patient, but also treated me like family, and a part of a community that cared in every aspect to bettering my health.
In 2018, Halona broke indoor school records in the 60m (7.99/Washington) and 200m (26.69/Boise State), qualified for CCC championships in 100m and 200m distances and set a new 100m personal record (12.69) at the Southern Oregon Invitational, registering the sixth-fastest time in school history.
HALONA JACKSON, NAIA Collegiate Sprinter
Total Performance helped me rehabilitate after Sports injuries, so I can get back out there and do the things I love. They have been flexible with my school, and athletic schedules and find time to see me when it works for me.
JAREN EMPTAGE, High School Football and Track Athlete
As a Soccer Coach I am constantly dealing with injuries related to the hips, knees and backs. Scott and his staff have been working with my players to increase muscle mobility and flexibility in those key areas. After a few weeks of training, my players and coaches are noticing a difference. We also have not had players missing games because of muscle tears or pulls. I have also had individual athletes use them for treatment and the results have been positive. I would like to recommend Total Performance for your team or athlete.
LOWELL ANDERSON, High School Soccer Coach
Nick, is truly one of the best in his field in Southern Oregon. Whenever I’ve had any movement dysfunctions he’s been able to help me figure out a course of action to get me back to doing what I love as quickly as possible and even better than before. He’s the only person I trust with treating my clients or myself. Knowledge & professionalism are second to none.
JAMES MOONEY, BS, CSCS, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach – Gunsmith Gym
My experience with Total Performance was enjoyable and informative. The care and attention from Dr. Baker was outstanding, so much so I have recommended my fellow students and athletes to his place of business. I arrived with a possible a meniscus tear, but Dr. Baker suggested a possible muniscoid entrapment. Which had been a problem for about four months, but within six visits and some suggested workouts I am now back to 100% participation. I have gone to see Dr. Baker for multiple injuries and all of my results I am happy with. I am glad to have resources like Dr. Baker in the area.
