Our Story

Nine years in the making, Performance Lab is the dream gym for a group of St. Louis friends and fitness professionals who share the same commitment to health, wellness, nutrition, lifelong athletic competition and their community. David and Renae Lazaroff met Bryan Sauder through a local healthy meal company,
and their passion for sneakers, personalized fitness and helping others achieve their goals sparked a deep connection and set the Performance Lab in motion. The result is the gym that David, Renae and Bryan always envisioned: A high-energy, clean, positive, motivating, creative place where everyone feels empowered to work hard, achieve their goals and be the best version of themselves.

What sets Performance Lab apart is the entire team’s level of expertise and experience in all facets of wellness: Strength, Conditioning, Functional Nutrition and so much more. Every member of the Performance Lab team is a teacher, leader and coach committed to empowering others.

Like a lab where scientists innovate, test techniques and solve problems, the Performance Lab deploys an all-encompassing approach in an always-evolving, high-tech and high-energy space.

Bryan was inspired to team up with David and Renae because they always push their training to the limit and motivate others to do the same. “The three of us have seen the good and the bad out there in the health and fitness world, and we have come together because of the way we approach total wellness,” Bryan says. “We’re building an environment that works for each individual. Everything is personal, and people need someone who knows how to evaluate them. The three of us have that ability and the desire to offer the whole package.”

We are proud to welcome you into the Performance Lab, where we assess each individual client, develop a plan, get to work and get results.
