Chat Williams opened Youth Performance in 2011 when he realized there was a need for a strength and conditioning facility dedicated to youth. Chat had been training young athletes for 8 years prior to that, and after nearly 20 years of training he began to look toward what the long-term future of Youth Performance might be. In winter of 2022 what began as a casual conversation about the future of Youth Performance with Justin and Mattie Laramie evolved into business talks about future ownership. Their son had been working out at Youth Performance with Chat since the fall of 2021 and they truly believed in what Chat had created and built. Justin’s education and experience in physical fitness, combined with Mattie’s education and experience in the corporate business world, made this the perfect opportunity to become the new owners of Youth Performance. Justin and Mattie took over ownership on January 1, 2024 and continue to build onto what Chat has created here.

 

Youth Performance has had the opportunity to work with over 1000 kids covering all sports, fitness levels, and training ages. Our most successful kids have participated in the program for several years and are now competing at the collegiate level, with many of them playing 4 years of college athletics and graduating from college. We are a complete strength and conditioning facility that focuses on improving fitness, strength, power, speed, agility, and most importantly self-esteem and confidence.
