A Conversation with Mike Snowden, Owner
Tell us your business origin story!
We opened our doors in January 2023, driven by a passion for helping athletes and the belief that Frederick was the perfect place to build something special.
After a decade of coaching at every level of college athleticsโand building performance programs for elite tactical unitsโwe recognized the need for a facility that prioritizes individualized training to enhance the complete development of athletes.
Human Performance Solutions was born out of this visionโto create an environment where athletes of all sports can unlock their full potential through targeted training, recovery, and performance strategies leveraging technology and performance data to guide the training process.
Every piece of equipment, training session, and coaching hire reflects our core philosophyโcreating champions through smart, intentional work. While our journey continues to evolve, the mission remains the same.
What do you like about being a business located in Frederick County?
Frederick is home. After leaving at 18 to serve in the Navy and spending 18 years away, Iโm proud to return and share the global experience of developing dynamic, high-performing athletes with our community.
Since opening, weโve growth focused, and itโs exciting to see that mirrored in the cityโs own focus on growth and development.
What makes your business unique?
We’re proud of the fact our reputation extends beyond the local community, earning the trust of a Top 5 basketball program that invites us annually for their preseason team retreats. Last season, we played a small part in an eventual Final Four run and are deeply excited to support their pursuit of a national championship this year. We’ve also been fortunate to host NFL starters who’ve relocated to the area to work with us for the off-season. In addition, we are a trusted resource for numerous club teams and organizations throughout the region.
Not only do we have the area’s only Registered Strength & Conditioning Coach, 1 of only 18 in the state, but we are also the only facility around that requires every coach to be a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, ensuring the highest safety and training standards for our members. Through partnerships with local universities and the Physical Rehab program at the Frederick County Career & Tech Center, we continue to support the growth of both current and aspiring coaches through our internship program which we’ve used to help numerous coaches transition into college strength and conditioning careers.
What do you want your business to be known for?
At Human Performance Solutions, we are deeply committed to creating a supportive and educational environment where athletes, coaches, and teams can thrive and grow together. We want our logo and the stories shared about us to convey two key messages:
- We are dedicated to doing business with integrity, and
- We treat people the right way.
Share some of your community involvement efforts!
We’ve proudly sponsored multiple youth sports teams/organizations, helping young athletes access the resources they need to thrive. In addition to team sponsorships, we provide scholarship opportunities to help offset the cost of training for families in need.
What do you do best?
Athletes and their families consistently highlight our attention to detail, the personalized approach we bring to each session, and the results they see whether itโs improved performance, enhanced self-confidence, or simply building the foundation for lifelong fitness habits. Our club has always been more than just a training facility โ itโs a community where people who come through our doors are challenged, supported, and empowered to succeed.
