Elite Performance Coaching & Personal Training
Find Your Strength.
Build Your Confidence.
At Cornell Performance Academy, it’s about more than just showing up — it’s about showing yourself what you’re capable of. Strength isn’t just something you build in the gym; it’s something you carry with you in every part of life. Confidence in the gym matters. It’s the difference between second-guessing yourself and moving with certainty. It’s what keeps you consistent, helps you get real results, and changes not just how you train, but how you show up in the rest of your life.
Membership Options:
-
Standard & Teammate Memberships
Full access to a fully equipped gym + a supportive community that pushes you to grow stronger — both physically and mentally. Build consistency, strength, and the confidence that comes from showing up for yourself. -
The Elite Membership
The Elite Membership is built on in-house programs designed by owners Michael and Raquel Cornell — structured like personal training, but without the cost of a trainer. Programs are delivered through our app with instructional videos, tracking templates, and new programs every 5–6 weeks. Each program is designed to build your strength, progress you safely, and give you the confidence of knowing you’re always moving forward. It is paired with unlimited boxing for the ultimate training experience. Sauna + Cold Tub Experience included. -
Break the Mold All-Class Pass Membership
Unlimited strength training classes, unlimited boxing, full gym access, and coaching that gives you structure and direction. For those ready to move with certainty, train without limits, and build unshakable confidence in every lift. -
Confidence with Raquel Coaching Membership
One-on-one private coaching (4 sessions per month) + full gym membership. Educational training focused on form, technique, and movement that feels strong, capable, and aligned with your goals. This membership isn’t just about getting stronger, it’s about rebuilding the confidence you bring into the gym and into your life.
We don’t offer quick fixes. We offer real results through hard work, consistency, and a commitment to yourself. Every session, every set, every rep builds more than strength — it builds confidence that follows you far beyond the gym.
This is for everyone ready to dig deep, push past limits, and see what’s possible.
Are you ready to find your strength and own your confidence?
