“At 58, it’s a lot harder to come back feeling like your old self from shoulder and knee surgery. But Salient not only helped me gain mobility and strength, but also helped me drop 50lbs in the process. Hobbies like hunting and fishing have become easier, especially with the strength I’ve gained, allowing me to draw my bow back to full draw!”

“I was a little timid to start a training program, but after suffering a few ankle injuries, a teammate recommended Salient. The coaches at Salient assessed my current level, outlined an execution plan, helped me improve my overall performance, and achieved my goals of increasing my vertical jump and hitting power, while keeping me injury-free!”

“Salient Performance has surpassed my expectations. They’re the whole package, and their expertise in creating tailored training programs that integrate nutrition is unmatched.

”

“I’ve trained with what some consider the best performance coaches in the world. While all coaches offer something different, Salient delivers a complete program to help you compete at the highest level. I’ve never trained like this, ever!”

“Jon Davis has been with me every step of the way throughout my 13-year Pro Lacrosse career and three appearances on Team USA. It has been tailored to my specific needs, whether in-person or remote training, drawing on his wealth of knowledge and effective techniques. Hands down, he is the best in the business!
”

“Salient is the best training I have ever been a part of as a Division 1 Athlete. I have trained with many people, and the knowledge at Salient is far superior. The results I have seen while training at Salient for over 6 years now have been the most significant help in getting me to where I am in my career. They have been with me every step of the way, and I wouldn’t train anywhere else.”

“Before training with Salient, I was actively being recruited by D3 schools for football. My speed was the most significant issue; I had the football IQ, but at times lacked closing speed. Then I started training with Salient...I went from a 5.4 forty-yard dash to a 4.6 forty-yard dash in 6 months and signed with Western Illinois, a D-1AA school. Salient helped me achieve what I wanted but didn’t know how to get there! ”

“Salient has completely exceeded my expectations in preparing me for college athletics. Injury prevention, better nutrition, and overall strength... I have gotten so much more out of this program than I could have ever imagined!”

“The team at Salient are true professionals who understand what you need, when you need it, and how to accomplish it. I’ve used their methods from 7th grade to the professional ranks.”

“Salient has done wonders for our daughters, who are now playing lacrosse at the college level. They have made them stronger and faster, and have built their confidence both on and off the field. THEY are the choice if you’re looking for coaches to impact your kids on and off the field!”

“I have been dealing with Jon “The Don” Davis and the Salient crew since 2011. Not once have they fallen short of my expectations. They ensure you get personalized, and most importantly, highly effective workouts. You won’t waste a moment in the gym when you follow the coaches’ instructions. I will use their services until the day I can no longer physically do so. To put it simply, Salient > Everyone else.”

“Salient delivered on everything we asked. Not only did our kids get the cliché stronger, faster, and agile, but they stayed injury-free, helping my daughter win a state championship, 2X All American, Lacrosse Player of the Year, and now playing at the D1 level. With my son, he gained the additional weight he needed while becoming an All-American and now also playing at the D1 level. We couldn’t recommend Salient enough!”

“I started training with Jon when I was 15 years old because I began playing volleyball competitively year-round, and I wanted to reach my fullest athletic potential. I attribute much of my success in volleyball to the elite, individualized, sports-specific training and the personal investment from Jon. Not only did I jump my highest vertical and approach jump while training with Jon, but I also never endured any serious injuries. The training I received truly and honestly made me healthier, stronger, and faster. Jon’s influence on my life goes beyond my playing career. He inspired and encouraged me to pursue a career in exercise science and to seek a profession in health, wellness, and fitness. I’m forever grateful for Jon. Hands down, Salient is the best!”

“Salient Performance has a strong understanding of how the body needs to function and improve to reach the next level. Knowledgeable in getting you faster, stronger, quicker. Always looking for ways to improve the client. Very professional in what they do. Love working with them.”

“Salient Performance is the real deal. I’d recommend them to any athlete looking to reach the next level.”

“Saleint Performance has trained my son for lacrosse for 3 years now. I can confidently say my son’s D-1 commitment at the age of 14 is in large part due to their fantastic work with his strength and explosiveness. Whenever anyone asks what the one thing is that made a difference in his sports success, I point to Salient. I’ve even begun going to them to help me as I get older, and three weeks in, I’m feeling incredible. Top-tier athletes or overweight dads——-Saleint is our choice.”

“Salient Performance knows their stuff. I came to them barely able to walk without pain, and with therapy, stretching, and working out, I am back to golfing, working around the house, and doing “normal” things in my day-to-day.”

“I came to Salient over winter break, looking to stay in shape and see a slight improvement before my first collegiate track season. With only four weeks to train, I wasn’t expecting much. But by the end of that month, I felt noticeably stronger and more explosive—and it translated directly into a new personal best, jumping 4 inches higher than before.
What impressed me most was how efficient and different the training felt compared to my college program. In such a short time, the results were undeniable. Simply put: Salient doesn’t just meet your expectations—they take you farther, faster!”

“Training with Salient helped me achieve a lifetime-best 4:16.03 in the mile. As a distance runner, I wasn’t exposed to specific techniques used for strength and power, along with the time exercises I performed to break the plateau I was stuck at. What they do works, no matter if you’re a recreational runner or a competitive runner; they can help you achieve your goals in record time.”

“After my initial assessment, the coaches at Salient quickly identified weaknesses in my performance—specifically areas of low power output at key time deficiencies. They built a precise 6-week program tailored to my upcoming meet. At the time, I was ranked 15th in the state in the 600m.
After training with Salient, I not only set a new personal record but also finished my race stronger than ever—something I had struggled with before. That performance moved me from 15th to 2nd in the state.
The science and coaching behind their programming is absolutely next level. Training at Salient didn’t just help me perform better on the track—it helped me get noticed and ultimately sign with the University of Miami.”

“The coaches at Salient Performance helped me achieve a personal best in the long jump after jokingly blaming them for my faulting the meet prior because I ran too fast in my approach. No matter what you’re looking to accomplish, they know how to get you there!”
