APEX ATX 2026.
What started as a vision from Tim Riley right here in Austin turned into a proving ground for athletes across the city.
Competitors showed up with one goal — to test themselves. Speed, strength, endurance, and grit all on display in a day built for those who train with purpose.
It was incredible to see so many familiar faces from the C4 Performance Center family out there competing, pushing limits, and representing the culture we’ve built inside these walls.
Events like APEX give athletes something real to train for — and this year, Austin showed out.
Huge respect to everyone who stepped on the field and gave it everything.
The bar has officially been set.

Austin showed out.
Flag football is rising—and these athletes are leading the charge.
Under the coaching of Fast Labs and Coach Eric Poggs, these three athletes are sharpening their speed, refining their skills, and pushing each other every day inside the C4 Performance Center.
With flag football now recognized as a Division I sport and an Olympic sport, the level of competition has never been higher. The athletes stepping onto the field today are not just playing the game—they’re helping shape the future of it.
Every rep in the weight room.
Every sprint on the turf.
Every detail in their preparation.
It’s all part of the process of staying at the top of the women’s flag football scene.
The work is being put in now—so when the moment comes, they’re ready.

Coaches leading from the front.
Athletes showing up to work.
Different goals, different levels — all in the same space.
From strength and conditioning to recovery and performance work,
everything here is built with purpose. It’s a place where people come to get better — and you can feel that the moment you walk in.
WHIPPED with Coach Anna. If you’ve taken her class, you know —the energy is real from the start. She pushes you, keeps you moving, and doesn’t let you coast.
It’s strength, cardio, circuits…
but more than anything, it’s the way she coaches.
High energy.
Real accountability.
A room that works.
February at the C4 Performance Center. 🔥
From product launches to elite training sessions, the Performance Center was at the center of it all this month.
The heat was turned up with the launch of C4 Mango Fuego right here at the Performance Center. The event brought together the C4 family and even welcomed NASCAR standout Jesse Love, one of the sport’s youngest rising stars, who came through to show love for his C4 team.
Race season energy was also in the air as the Austin Marathon brought the community together once again. From race day preparation to activation moments with the C4 family, it was all about supporting each other and celebrating the grind.
Back inside the facility, Boss Everline returned home and brought his signature energy, joining forces with our own Coach Brittni Johnson for a Pilates session that pushed the room and kept the energy high.
And of course, when Tim Riley calls, the legends answer. The Performance Center hosted a powerhouse workout featuring Blaine McConnell, Judd Leindhart, and Ben Simons, bringing elite athletes together for another unforgettable training session.
From launches to legends, February was packed with moments that show what the C4 Performance Center is all about — community, performance, and bringing the best together.

Strength. Power. Precision.
Coach Marcello Natale took his client through a posterior-chain focused session designed to build explosive strength from the ground up. Every movement had a purpose — priming the nervous system, generating power, and finishing with serious strength.
Here’s how the session unfolded:
1. OM Walks (Cable Resistance)
3 sets × 10 yards — increasing resistance each set
2. Hurdle Hops → Med Ball Throws
3 rounds of hurdle hops
3 rounds of med ball throws
Priming explosive power before the main lift
3. Deadlifts
Worked up to a PR: 7 reps at 495 lbs
4. Barbell RDL
3 sets × 8 reps
5. Single Arm Row Machine
3 sets × 6 reps
6. Vertical Pulldown
3 sets × 6 reps
7. Finisher Superset
EZ Bar Curls — Triple Drop Set (8 reps each)
Ab Wheel Rollouts — 10 reps
SkiErg Sprint — 100 meters
This is the level of intentional programming and coaching you get when you train with coaches like Marcello Natale at C4 Performance Center.
Train with purpose. Train with the best.

By the Book with Sandy Brockman
When it comes to big lifts, understanding which muscles are doing the work can change everything.
In this installment of By the Book, Sandy breaks down how to recognize the difference between glute-dominant and quad-dominant movement patterns, and how small adjustments in your positioning can completely shift the emphasis of a lift.
In this reel she demonstrates:
• Glute-dominant vs. quad-dominant squat
• Glute-dominant vs. quad-dominant lunge
• Glute-dominant vs. quad-dominant lateral lunge
Knowing the difference helps you train with intention—whether you’re building strength, improving movement mechanics, or targeting specific muscle groups.
Train smarter. Move better. Do it by the book.
Strength isn’t just built under heavy weight.
It’s built in the details.
@brittnijohnson_ leading a session with @superdj56 and other athletes — focusing on what most overlook.
Hip flexors.
Glutes.
Hamstrings.
The small stabilizers that drive real performance.
After 14 years in the NFL, the work doesn’t stop — it evolves.
Because longevity, explosiveness, and control all start beneath the surface.
From C4 influencer events bringing energy into the building,
to NFL Combine prep alongside pros like Danny Amendola—
to everyday athletes putting in real work.
Led by C4 Performance coaches who bring intention, experience, and a standard to every session.
Max lifts.
Personal training.
Performance Lab sessions.
High-level coaching, every single day.
Different backgrounds.
Different goals.
One standard.
This isn’t just a facility—
it’s where preparation meets opportunity,
and where performance is built at every level.
There’s a point where thinking stops helping.
And action takes over.
No perfect moment.
No perfect plan.
Just movement.
Adjustment.
Execution.
That’s how progress is built.
Celebrating the women who lead, build, and inspire the communities around us. ✨
From wellness experiences to workouts and meaningful conversations, the International Women’s Day event brought together incredible women from Nutrabolt, Bloom, and our partner Austin FC, along with the greater community for a morning dedicated to health, connection, and empowerment.
Grateful to capture moments that recognize the strength and impact of women everywhere.
