THREE
PRINCIPLES.
ONE STANDARD.
Most training programs are built on best guesses. Onyx is built on objective data. Every decision runs through it.
Test First.
No assumption. Every athlete begins with a comprehensive assessment battery: force plate, velocity, sprint, metabolic. The data defines the starting point.
Program Precisely.
Results shape the plan. Every training variable, including load, volume, intensity, and frequency, is derived from your test data and sport-specific demands.
Measure Everything.
Progress is measured, not felt. Retest cycles every 4–6 weeks ensure your numbers are moving, and your program adapts when they don't.
BUILT IN
MIAMI.
BUILT FOR
ATHLETES.
Onyx Performance Lab was founded to give athletes in Miami access to the same level of sports science infrastructure available to professional franchises. The lab operates from Allapattah, minutes from Wynwood, Midtown, and Downtown Miami.
We built a facility around data collection and performance testing, not equipment count or square footage. Every tool, protocol, and program exists to move your numbers.
The Expertise
Behind the Lab.
Strength & Conditioning
CSCS, NSCA Certified. Advanced periodization and sports-specific programming across team and individual sports.
Sports Science
Force-velocity profiling, rate of force development analysis, bilateral asymmetry assessment and intervention.
Speed & Power
Certified sprint coach. Ground reaction force analysis, acceleration mechanics, and max velocity development.
Youth Development
Programming built on the Long-Term Athletic Development (LTAD) model. Age-appropriate training architecture for athletes 10–18.
Metabolic Conditioning
VO2 and lactate threshold testing. Energy system profiling and conditioning prescription.
Technology & Analytics
Expert-level proficiency in force plate systems, VBT devices, and performance reporting software.
Active
Research
Site.
Onyx Performance Lab operates as an active research facility in partnership with two of South Florida's leading universities. The equipment, protocols, and data environment here are the same ones used in peer-reviewed sports science research, not approximations of them.
University of Miami
Dissertation research in sports science and biomechanics is conducted at this facility. The Hawkin Dynamics force plate system, OpenCap 3D motion capture, and metabolic testing equipment are used in active doctoral-level research. These are the same assessments used with every Onyx athlete.
Florida International University
FIU's sports science graduate and undergraduate programs utilize Onyx as an off-campus research site. Faculty and students have access to the full equipment battery for study design, data collection, and applied research in human performance.
You Own
The Data.
The data we collect in the lab feeds your athlete portal, Onyx Performance OS. You can see every test result and training session we record. It is included with every membership.
Alejandro Garcia
Founder, strength coach, and sports scientist. Onyx Performance Lab is built from Alejandro's background in both applied coaching and academic research at the University of Miami and Florida International University.
See the Lab
In Person.
Walk through the space. See the force plates, the VBT rigs, the sprint lanes, and the testing bay. Meet the coach, ask questions, and understand how a session actually runs before you commit. Pick an open time to come by.
Every Rep.
Every Test.
Every Result.
Start with your baseline. One comprehensive assessment session to establish where you are and build the plan for where you're going.
