THE STORY BEHIND
GROUNDED PERFORMANCE
With a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Science and a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, Taran brings extensive expertise and hands-on experience to the gym. Having worked with five NCAA D1 sports performance programs, including Iowa Football and the University of Denver, Taran has been immersed in elite environments that prioritize athlete development.
Grounded Performance was born from our desire to create a space where people could train with purpose and grow stronger, both physically and mentally. As athletes and fitness enthusiasts ourselves, we saw a need for a gym in Austin, TX that combines functional training, community support, and holistic wellness.

Your Go-To Guide for Fitness Terms and Training QUESTIONS
In the fitness industry, terms can sometimes have different meanings depending on who you ask. To ensure our community is on the same page, we’ve compiled this section to define the terms we use and answer questions about our training programs.
Our group training sessions are built to bring the energy of a team environment while delivering high-quality coaching and results. Together, we start with a structured warm-up to prepare our bodies for the work ahead.
Once we're primed, we'll break down each movement—demonstrating proper form, explaining why it matters, and how we’ll cycle through the workout. Then, we crank up the music and get after it, pushing ourselves while our coaches ensure every movement is performed safely and effectively.
We track progress, adapt training intensity to fit individual needs, and create an environment where everyone—regardless of experience—can thrive.
Our training is for those who want more than a workout—it's for individuals looking to train with purpose. Whether you’re a former athlete, a competitor, or someone serious about building a high-performing, pain-free body, our program is designed to meet you where you are and elevate you to where you want to be.
We prioritize joint health, movement efficiency, and long-term performance, ensuring that your body is not only stronger but also more resilient. If you want to discover your full potential—how strong, powerful, and capable you can truly be—this is the training for you.
Functional training is training with purpose—developing the physical qualities that directly improve how you perform in real life. Whether you’re a firefighter needing strength endurance to handle heavy loads, an athlete working on power and agility, or simply someone who wants to move better, feel better, and perform better, our approach is tailored to the demands of your life and goals.
Each session follows a three-block format. Every block consists of 2-4 movements, performed in a structured, circuit-style rotation.
These workouts are designed to develop a balanced combination of:
Strength & Power – Build the foundation for explosive athleticism.
Speed & Agility – Move faster, react quicker, and improve coordination.
Mobility & Movement Quality – Improve range of motion and bulletproof your body.
Muscular Endurance & Conditioning – Develop the muscle and stamina to perform at your peak.
Each workout is strategically designed to help you perform at your best—whether you’re an athlete, a competitor, or someone who just wants to move and feel better every day.
A holistic approach means we train for more than just muscle (though, trust us, you’ll build muscle).
We focus on:
Strength, mobility, and endurance—so your body can handle anything.
Speed, power, and efficiency—so you move with purpose.
Education on nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle—so you optimize your performance inside and outside the gym.
This is training that builds confidence, capability, and resilience—so you don’t just look strong, you are strong.
To be grounded is to be connected—to your body, to the way it moves, and to the world around you. We train not just for aesthetics, but to function at our best—so we can fully experience everything life has to offer. Strength is a privilege, and we’re here to help you unlock it. Our training is built on proven principles and methods that have developed countless world-class athletes. We strip away the gimmicks and focus on what actually works.
The word 'grounded' is defined in the dictionary as 'sensible, realistic, and unpretentious'—and these are values that reflect our approach to fitness training.
