FOUNDER / OWNER / COACH
# BUILT BY AN ATHLETE. BUILT FOR ATHLETES.
Jeremy Martin founded Ultimate Athlete after a lifetime spent competing, coaching and studying performance. More than a decade later, his philosophy still defines how UA trains.
ATHLETE /// COACH /// PERFORMANCE /// PURPOSE
FROM COMPETING TO COACHING
## BEFORE HE COACHED ATHLETES, HE WAS ONE.
Sports have been part of Jeremy's life for as long as he can remember. Growing up in Middletown, Rhode Island, he competed in football, basketball and baseball, becoming an All-State quarterback, winning two state championships and scoring more than 1,000 career points in basketball.
Football took him to Gardner-Webb University and later into professional arena and indoor football. Eventually, the part of sports he cared about most shifted from his own performance to helping other athletes improve theirs.
Before founding Ultimate Athlete, Jeremy coached at the collegiate level and served as Sports Performance Director for a national performance training franchise.

THE IDEA BEHIND ULTIMATE ATHLETE
## TRAINING SHOULD TRANSFER.
Jeremy never wanted to build a gym where the goal was simply to leave tired. The purpose of training is to make you better at what comes next: moving faster, producing more force, building strength, staying healthy and performing when it matters.
That's the idea Ultimate Athlete was built around, and it still drives the programming, coaching and expectations on the floor today. The workout isn't the end goal. Better performance is.
MOVE BETTER
GET STRONGER
BUILD POWER
PERFORM
EDUCATION + CREDENTIALS
## STUDY THE WORK. THEN DO THE WORK.
Jeremy paired a lifetime of competition and coaching with formal education in performance enhancement, injury prevention and athlete development.

IN THEIR WORDS
“I WOULDN'T BE WHERE I AM TODAY WITHOUT ULTIMATE ATHLETE. JEREMY MARTIN AND HIS TEAM OF COACHES ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE TRAINING.”
SAM HARTMAN / NFL QUARTERBACK
MORE THAN A GYM
## THE POINT WAS NEVER TO BUILD SOMETHING EASY.
Ultimate Athlete exists for people who still want to be coached, challenged and held to a standard. Whether they're preparing for their first season, their next contract, a HYROX race or simply refusing to stop competing, the expectation is the same: come ready to work.
