The Ignite Performance Collective — Chesterfield, MO

Build Your Fitness Business.
Not Someone Else’s.

A curated collective of independent personal trainers building their own businesses inside one of St. Louis’ premier private athletic training facilities.

Application-based  ·  Intentionally small  ·  Independent by design

You outgrew the commercial gym a while ago.

Most experienced coaches hit the same wall. You hand over 40–70% of everything you earn. You chase sales quotas that have nothing to do with coaching. You fight for floor space, work around someone else’s schedule, and watch your clients get a worse experience than they’re paying for. And through all of it, you’re building a brand — just not yours.

The Ignite Performance Collective exists for coaches who are done building someone else’s business.

The Ignite Performance and Health building on Clayton Road in Chesterfield

A private facility. Your independent business.

The Collective is a small, curated group of independent coaches who run their own businesses inside Ignite Performance & Health — a private athletic training and wellness facility in Chesterfield, Missouri.

You keep your clients, your pricing, and your brand. Ignite provides the environment: a professional training floor your clients will notice the moment they walk in, and a standard of operation that matches the way you already work.

This is not a gym membership, and it is not a job. It’s part private training floor, part co-working space, part accelerator — a professional home for coaches who operate like business owners, because they are.

Worth saying plainly.

Not employment
Not revenue sharing
Not sales quotas
Not selling memberships for us
Not an open-access gym

You build your business. We provide the place that deserves it.


The Collective is built for a specific kind of coach.

This is for

  • Independent personal trainers with an established client base
  • Strength and performance coaches
  • Sports performance and corrective exercise specialists
  • Experienced online coaches ready for an in-person home
  • Former collegiate strength coaches
  • Commercial gym trainers ready to go independent — with clients in hand

This is not for

  • Coaches just getting started
  • Anyone without current paying clients
  • Anyone without liability insurance
  • Anyone looking for employment
  • Anyone looking for open gym access

If you read the left column and thought “that’s me,” you should apply.


A space that raises the standard for your clients.

Private training floor. Professional-grade equipment. Recovery space, locker rooms, and parking your clients won’t have to fight for. The kind of environment that makes your rates make sense.


More than four walls.

The medical integration, the doctor-grade supplements, and the facility are only the beginning. The Collective runs like an accelerator for your coaching business — professional education, real mentorship, and a client experience no commercial floor can match.

Doctor-Grade Supplements

Offer physician-quality supplements to your clients through Ignite’s partner program.

Clinical Body-Composition Scans

Ultrasound body-fat scans for your clients — performed in our clinical office, not on the gym floor.

Professional Community

Networking, educational workshops, and a building full of people who take this work seriously.

Business Mentorship with Derek Hoffman

One hour a month, one-on-one — your business, your goals, your constraints. Advisory background at derekhoffmanadvisory.com.

Marketing Exposure

Create Content Without Renting an Entire Gym.

Partner coaches may reserve the facility during off-peak hours for photography, video production, social media content, and educational filming. A professional backdrop for your brand, without the logistics of a commercial space.

If this is the place you’ve been looking for, apply.

This is an accelerator for the right coach — client experience, brand, and business, leveled up together. The Collective will only ever hold a small number of coaches, and we’re not in a hurry to fill it.
