The new Exos Performance Specialist (XPS) Certification is coming August 2026.
With the new XPS Certification, performance coaches, trainers, physical / physiotherapists and related practitioners will have access to the most advanced frameworks, sports science methodology, and immediately actionable tools that deliver measurable results.
What was once reserved for elite athletes - advanced diagnostics, performance modeling, and data-driven decision-making - is now translated into a practical system you can apply with confidence to any client.
At its core is the performance architecture that moves beyond isolated training methods, shifting you to systems-level thinking to understand how people move and perform across sport, work, and life. You’ll learn what to measure, how to interpret it, and how to turn insight into precise, effective coaching.
Because performance isn’t built in parts; it’s designed as a system.
And with XPS, you can own that system.
Learning Objectives
Identify and explain the Model of Human Performance, Performance Code, and Gameplans, and understand how Exos Practitioners use them as a unified system to get people ready for the moments that matter across sport, work, and life
Understand the Exos Sports Science Methodology and how to apply it to make data-informed coaching decisions
Understand the role of rotation in the Global Movement Themes of human movement, and how to apply the Position Pattern Power framework to design Gameplans that support people's ability to express increased capacity in any activity.
Identify and explain the 6 Gameplan components and 8 training system components within the Exos methodology.
Apply Exos design principles and the Position-Pattern-Power framework to create individualized training plans for athletes and general population clients.
Apply the Gameplan components of Training, Fueling, Sleep, Reflection, Regulation, and Daily Movement to holistically support people’s goals, inclusive of mindset, recovery and lifestyle factors.
Assess an athlete across movement efficiency, speed, force production and endurance to create a full “Movement Profile” that highlights their unique strengths and limitations relative to their goal, to inform individual programming decisions.
Understand when and how to effectively utilize monitoring to refine programming.
Distinguish between curiosity, awareness, and self-management and how to use the Gameplan components of reflection and regulation to develop a performance mindset.
Learn our most advanced training recommendations (aka components)
Pillar Prep: Focuses on soft tissue work, mobility, and stability to prepare the body (shoulders, torso, hips) for movement.
Movement Prep: Involves dynamic stretching, activation, and neural preparation to enhance movement efficiency.
Ballistics: Merges plyometrics and medicine ball into a single component relevant to both performance and durability.
Movement Skills (Acceleration, Multi-Directional, Absolute Speed): Develops linear and multi-directional speed and agility.
Strength & Power: Presents strength as a tool to drive task-specific outcomes, representing the most advanced conversation Exos has presented on the topic.
ESD (Energy Systems Development): Offers a more complete system for assessing, programming, and periodizing conditioning.
Regeneration: Focuses on supporting recovery by matching regeneration strategies to the biological systems that have been fatigued by recent stress load
Introduce the Exos Nutrition Methodology, and understand the role of the coach in making fueling recommendations, including when to refer out to a Registered Dietitian.

The Exos Performance Specialist (XPS) certification teaches a system that equips you with the most advanced frameworks, sports science methodology, and immediately actionable tools to deliver measurable results for your athletes and clients.
What to Expect from XPS:
Master the Science of Data-Informed Coaching
Get introduced to the Exos Sport Science Methodology, the interdisciplinary study and application of science and technology to enhance human performance through data-informed decision making. As you explore it, you'll learn to transform assessments into "Movement Profiles" that inform individual programming, then collect and use that data to sharpen your programming for measurable results. And you'll learn to ask better questions along the way, so every decision you make is smarter and more personalized.
Expand Your Coaching Impact Beyond the Gym
Learn the Model of Human Performance, Performance Code, and Gameplans to expand your coaching influence into the "Other 23 Hours." Together, these frameworks form a master blueprint for supporting holistic client goals across sport, work, and life.
It starts with the Model of Human Performance, the defining backbone for understanding your clients’ true readiness. Building on that, the Exos Performance Code gives you a research-backed framework for improving performance by prioritizing recovery and holistic well-being - our "Work + Rest = Success" model incorporates structured daily and weekly practices for sustainable high performance. Finally, Gameplans bring it all together through six components: Training, Fueling, Sleep, Reflection, Regulation, and Daily Movement.
Learn Our Most Advanced Movement Frameworks
Learn how to implement a higher standard of movement quality and efficiency through proven frameworks. This is our most complete conversation to date on understanding and building movement programs for any person, with any goal - one that gives your full performance team a shared language, assessment, and system for movement, from coaches to sports scientists to physical and physiotherapists.
At the center of it, you'll master the Position-Pattern-Power framework to get your athletes and clients ready for the moments that matter. You'll build a deeper understanding of how and why humans move the way they do - in sport and in daily life - and how to improve that movement through training. From there, you'll learn to design a complete gameplan for each athlete or client, spanning daily movement, training, mobility, and recovery support. And you'll explore how rotation is foundational to all human movement - and see how rotation brings the fundamental elements of Position-Pattern-Power together, so you can build programs that integrate movement efficiency and quality regardless of a client's starting point.
Get Immediate ROI with Ready-to-Use Course Assets
Start putting the material to work right away. You'll get ready-to-use professional training plans for both athletes and general population clients, an on-demand toolkit that translates complex theory into actionable coaching, and short, digestible modules that let you apply proven frameworks immediately.
Inside the course, you'll also find:
- Within each training module: a theoretical summary doc, a sample training program, and guidance on how to conduct the assessments for that component (where applicable)
- Two case studies: a 12-week training program for a professional athlete, and a 12-week training program for a general population client
- A library of movement videos for ongoing reference of the exercises taught in XPS
- A full-course participant workbook (PDF) to follow along with throughout the course - it supports your study, informs the quiz, and serves as a future reference
