Specialties
At Yates Performance Training, I help clients get leaner, feel stronger, and move without pain so they can enjoy the activities they love again. I specialize in working with clients who have struggled with chronic pain, nagging injuries, or limited results from traditional gyms, physical therapy, or workout programs.
I have developed a unique training system that addresses the whole person—movement, strength, and the nervous system—to restore proper function, reduce pain, and improve long-term health, performance, and longevity.
Whether you want to run or hike, play sports or with your kids, lift or simply move through life without discomfort, my goal is to help you do it with confidence and resilience for a lifetime.
History
Established in 2008.
For 18 years, Yates Performance Training has been built around one mission: helping people transform their health, movement, and performance for life.
Founded by Kevin Yates in 2008, YPT goes beyond traditional personal training by addressing not just the body but also the brain and nervous system.
Through a private, fully equipped home training studio in Marina, California, Kevin works with clients using a results-driven system that integrates strength training, movement restoration, and applied neurology.
Kevin helps clients overcome chronic pain, rebuild movement, improve fitness, and optimize long-term health and performance.
Kevin holds a Master’s Degree in Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, is a practitioner of Applied Neurology, Certified Pain-Free Performance Specialist and Licensed CHEK Practitioner Level 1.
At the core of Yates Performance Training is a simple belief: we are not meant to decline with age; we can adapt and improve when given the right tools.
