Our philosophy
Regular exercise, specifically resistance training, has immense potential to significantly improve our health, function, performance & appearance.
In fact, no other form of physical activity comes close to the potential benefits as properly done resistance training.
Unfortunately, very few athletes, coaches or gym-goers realize the full potential benefits of resistance training and even fewer reap those benefits.
Technical proficiency, attention to detail, health, and longevity should be at the forefront of every rep of every exercise during every workout performed. It is not enough to mindlessly go through the motions of lifting weights. You should strive to master it.
Resistance training isn’t an 8 week or offseason plan, it is a lifetime pursuit.
Epic Athletic Center has built its reputation by prioritizing ATHLETE HEALTH FIRST. In a world caught up in instant results, Epic places a heavy emphasis on the FUNDAMENTALS, the importance of CONSISTENCY, and the value of PATIENCE.

Joe Helisek
Epic athletic center president
As a full-time coach since 2005, Joe has played an instrumental role in the health and development of hundreds of athletes, including more than 200 that have continued their athletic careers in college. He has also mentored dozens of coaches, inspiring several to open gyms of their own.
Joe’s passion for fitness began with his love for sports. At an early age, he learned that consistent hard work in the gym gave him an edge over his peers and competition. Excelling in baseball, Joe earned numerous all-conference/state honors which led to an athletic scholarship. When his baseball career ended, Joe began investing more time and effort in the gym.
Over the past two decades, Joe has amassed thousands of hours learning, testing, and teaching various training disciplines. Through this period of trial & error (or trial & success), he has earned the unique perspective of knowing what works and what doesn’t.
Joe’s philosophy for athletic development and fitness is straightforward. There are no shortcuts, secrets, or magical potions. Success in athletics is not unlike most other professional fields in life. Reaching your athletic potential requires years of hard work, dedication, and intelligent planning.
