MEET THE TEAM

ALISSA AND DAVID BLAIS, OWNERS

We’re David and Alissa Blais, and we opened Blais Performance in 2012 with the mission to bring athletic performance training and an active lifestyle approach to the fitness space. We felt as though there was so much focus on body image and training for aesthetics in the fitness industry.  With a passion and background in sports, we set out to create a space that welcomed and supported those that wanted to get strong and fast so they could reach their highest potential in sport or bring out the athlete within. We’re incredibly grateful for our team and our members that help us to work toward this mission every day!


David Blais, 


Alissa Blais


In addition to running Blais Performance, we’ve expanded our reach with online training programs for athletes and active women who don't live in our area.
