LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — OI Sports Performance, formerly known as Off Ice Athletics, is rebranding and expanding its strength and conditioning program to serve athletes across multiple sports, operating out of City National Arena.
The business is co-owned by Kendell Galore-Joerger, who serves as head athletic trainer and strength coach. A UNLV graduate, she was the head athletic trainer for the Skatin’ Rebels when the program was still Division II. She later worked with the Vegas Golden Knights as a strength and conditioning intern during the franchise’s first two seasons before becoming a reconditioning specialist in season three.
“Essentially, my job was to stay home and run rehabs when the team was on the road. I’d get on the ice with the guys. I’d help, coach workouts, that kind of stuff. But that really was invaluable. I mean, the coaches over there are phenomenal. The athletic trainers are. And that’s really what’s gotten me to where I am today. That and mentorship from my husband,” Galore-Joerger said.
From hockey to all sports
Galore-Joerger co-owns the business with her husband Jared, who she said she first met at age five while speed skating. The two reconnected through college hockey and later built their business together.
This past February, the couple celebrated 16 years together. The rebrand from Off Ice Athletics to OI Sports Performance marks a shift in scope — expanding their client base from hockey players to athletes in any sport, with a target age range of 12 to the early 20s.
“We’ve been working with a lot of girls lacrosse. We’ve got some boys lacrosse players. We’ve been working with a lot of baseball. We’re delving into the golf side of things. Volleyball players. The sports realm in our gym has really been growing over the last five years that we’ve been in business. And, you know, when we first started, we were the hockey people. We didn’t really care to branch out that much. We didn’t know that we needed to,” Galore-Joerger said.
About 100 clients and growing
Between their work with the national champion Skatin’ Rebels and personal training sessions with young athletes, OISP has about 100 clients.
Galore-Joerger said the gym’s semi-private training model is her favorite side of the business, noting that athletes build their own programs and community inside the facility.
“We have lacrosse players and figure skaters who are best friends who never would have met each other outside of this,” she said.
Sport-specific programming
The gym is also rolling out sport-specific programming tracks, including off-course for golf, off-base for baseball, off-ice for hockey and figure skating, and off-stage for performing arts athletes including dancers, circus performers, and actors.
“We’re going to eventually funnel them into something that’s much more sport or career specific for them,” Galore-Joerger said.
This month, OISP is also launching OIAT — adding an athletic training component that will include reconditioning services, also known as injury rehabilitation. Galore-Joerger said she is currently working with athletes recovering from shoulder surgeries and ACL surgeries, including one athlete she is returning to the field for lacrosse season.
