Wellness refers to your well-being, which means being in good physical and mental health. Improving your physical health and fitness can benefit your mental health and vice versa.

An integrated performance health and fitness experience is essential for lasting results and maintaining an active lifestyle. Health Performance Institute provides wellness services that allow you to move better, feel better, and prevent injury.

We offer a free consultation and performance screening where you can discuss your health goals with one of our experts and decide if IBJI’s Health Performance Institute is a good fit for you.

The Lab at Health Performance Institute Mt. Prospect offers a world-class baseball and softball instruction and training experience with all the equipment you need to practice your hitting, pitching, and fielding.

Our four well-lit, multi-functional cages and turfed areas allow players to practice in a customized environment for the most effective training.

Group training is designed for 3rd-12th grade baseball and softball players. Elite training is also available to help players level up every aspect of their game, with customized programming to help athletes improve their speed, agility, power, and strength.

Generally, athletes should strength train two to four times a week during the season, depending on a few different factors. (e.g., How physical is the sport? How much playing time are they getting? How many hours of sleep are they getting each night?)

Three workouts a week are sufficient if an athlete gets good sleep and eats well. There’s a common misconception that athletes might “over-train,” but this is hard to do. As long as they prioritize recovery, lifting during the season is a good chance for athletes to maintain and even increase strength and speed, especially high school and collegiate athletes looking to gain an edge.

Each situation is unique and depends on the athlete. What matters is they stay active, even if that means training just once or twice a week

Training volume is the most critical factor in exercise training variables. If you don’t see the fitness results you want, assessing your total training volume can help.

Total training volume is a simple equation:

The number of exercise sets multiplied by the number of exercise reps, multiplied by the weight performed (sets x reps x weight).
