About Garner Performance

At Garner Performance, we exist for one reason: To help athletes perform better when it matters most.

Based in Savannah, Georgia, we work with high school and college athletes, teams, and serious lifters who are committed to developing real strength, speed, power, and resilience — not just looking good in the weight room.
We believe every training session should have purpose. If it doesn’t make you better on the field, court, mat, or platform, we don’t waste time on it.

Meet the Coach — Ross Garner

Garner Performance is led by Ross Garner, a strength and conditioning coach with over a decade of experience developing athletes at the high school and collegiate levels.

Ross has worked with athletes in:

  • Football

  • Wrestling

  • Volleyball

  • Baseball

  • General athletic development

He is CSCS-certified and a proud member of the National High School Strength Coaches Association.

More importantly, Ross understands what it’s like to coach in real environments — limited time, limited resources, big expectations, and athletes who need both structure and motivation.

This experience shapes every program at Garner Performance.

Our Coaching Philosophy

We don’t believe in random workouts.

We believe in systems.

Every athlete and team we work with follows a structured approach focused on:

✔ Speed development
✔ Max strength
✔ Explosive power
✔ Movement quality
✔ Injury resilience
✔ Long-term progression

Our training system challenges athletes at every level — from beginners to advanced competitors — while keeping safety and sustainability at the forefront. The goal isn’t just short-term results. The goal is building athletes who are strong, confident, durable, and prepared for the next level.

Built for Real Athletes and Real Programs

Garner Performance was created to serve:

  • High school athletes and parents

  • College athletes

  • Team coaches and programs

  • Tactical athletes

  • Serious lifters

Whether we’re working in a facility, a garage gym, or remotely, our standard stays the same: Professional-level coaching with practical delivery. We design training around:

  • Your schedule

  • Your equipment

  • Your sport

  • Your goals

  • Your environment

No cookie-cutter templates. No wasted reps.

More Than Training — A Performance Partnership

When you work with Garner Performance, you’re not just buying workouts. You’re gaining:

✅ A coach invested in your development
✅ Clear communication and accountability
✅ Data-driven progress tracking
✅ Honest feedback
✅ Long-term planning

We help athletes and coaches build systems that last — not quick fixes that fade.

A Coach, a Father, and a Lifelong Learner

Outside the weight room, Ross is a devoted father who believes strength, discipline, and character start at home. That mindset carries into every session:

  • Teach responsibility

  • Build confidence

  • Demand effort

  • Respect the process

We’re developing more than athletes — we’re developing people.

Why We Do What We Do

Too many athletes:

❌ Train without direction
❌ Chase random programs
❌ Get injured unnecessarily
❌ Plateau early
❌ Lose confidence

Garner Performance exists to change that. We help athletes understand:

  • Why they train

  • How to train

  • When to push

  • When to recover

  • How to grow

Knowledge + structure + consistency = results.

Serving Savannah and Beyond

While we’re proudly based in Savannah, Georgia, we work with athletes and teams across the country through:

  • In-person training

  • Remote coaching

  • Team programming

  • Performance dashboards

No matter where you train, you get the same standard.
