Saltus has partnered with Universal Speed Rating (USR), a trusted speed analytics platform used by 200+ coaches and 100k+ athletes, to bring more objective, standardized speed testing to Vancouver. We don’t just run athletes fast, we measure, profile, and track speed so progress is clear and repeatable. Saltus is the only athletic performance centre in Vancouver using the Universal Speed Rating testing system. Our athletes start with a structured speed assessment that builds an individual profile across key qualities like max velocity, acceleration, change of direction, and power. From there, our coaches guide the athlete through structured training and consistently reassess your key metrics so you can see exactly what improved and where your biggest gains were made.

Weekly Speed LAB Training
Registration for our weekly Speed Lab training sessions take place within our Small Group Personal Training (SGPT) program. Any drop-in sessions or monthly plans purchased can also be used to attend any of our small group training sessions.
Sessions are 60 minutes in duration and are capped at 6 athletes per coach to ensure a high quality coaching and individualized attention.
Athletes ages 11-18 will train using proven performance methods to improve max velocity sprint mechanics, explosive acceleration, and multidirectional agility through structured sprinting, jumping, throwing & strength training progressions. Sessions also include a small amount of targeted strength work to support durability, injury resilience, and long-term athletic development.

Team Speed Training
If your team isn’t training speed on purpose, you’re leaving wins on the table. Speed is the game-changer, it’s the first step that wins the loose ball, the burst that creates separation, and the decel-reaccel that turns a good athlete into a difference-maker.
We created team speed training for sports such basketball, soccer, hockey, football, rugby, baseball, and more. We can run your group on a set weekly schedule and tailor the drills to your sport’s demands.
Ideal for club teams, school teams, academy groups, and off-season training.

What else do I need to know?
You do not need to sign a contract other than our standard liability waiver and company policies, however, we do ask that you make at least a 2-month commitment each time you newly start or restart the speed/training small group monthly plan. This helps to ensure your body has enough time to adapt to the training.
We offer drop-in sessions. If you are looking to attend just one session to go over technique in-depth, we offer personal training (1-on-1) sessions that may be more suitable for your needs.
Simply fill out our cancellation form or send us an e-mail and we’ll be happy to stop all future automatic payments until you’re ready to return. We require at least 10 days notice prior to your next billing date. Billing takes place every 28 days.
We allow up to 2 make-up sessions per cycle, which can be used for:
- Attending another speed training session (if available)
- Joining an in-gym Small Group Personal Training session instead
Make-ups must be scheduled in advance and used within the same training cycle.
Our structured program focuses on maximizing sprint speed, acceleration, and power using a mix of:

For athletes needing extra technical focus, we recommend:
We employ a staff of strength and conditioning specialists that supervise our training floor in a team-based approach. This means that beyond the initial assessment, Saltus Performance clients will engage with the entire team during any given training session. We structure our schedule to ensure that we never populate the gym to exceed our maximum of a 1:6 coach-to-client ratio.
Each session may include:
- Dynamic warm-up & sprint drills
- Acceleration & top end speed development
- Agility & change of direction training
- Resisted sprint work
- Plyometrics & explosive lower body training
- Limited strength training
- Speed and performance testing using VALD Performance Testing equipment
The program follows a progressive 4-week cycle, meaning each session builds on the last to ensure long-term improvements.
We run speed training at 4180 West 4th Ave, just outside of our physical location within the West Point Grey Academy athletics facilities. Sessions will take place on the track and the field. Athletes should bring shoes appropriate for both a track and cleats for any training performed on the field. Specific session details will be provided upon registration.

If the weather is unsafe (thunderstorms, heavy rain, or extreme conditions), the session may be rescheduled or moved indoors if space is available. Light rain will not cancel training—sessions will continue as planned unless conditions become unsafe. We will notify participants as early as possible in case of changes. If a session is cancelled due to rain, a make-up session will be scheduled at a later date. Participants should wear weather appropriate clothing and footwear, including cleats for on-field work.
