ABOUT US
Unparalleled care and expertise.
Why apex human performance?
1. EDUCATION & EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST
Personal training certifications provide the illusion of competence, education, and experience — which are all important when choosing the right person to entrust with your health and fitness. Unfortunately, most consumers don’t even know to ask about their personal trainer’s educational background.
2. TOTAL BODY CARE
Bringing all of the pieces together to manage your health and fitness isn’t easy. From exercising correctly; to treating and preventing aches, pains, and injuries; to ensuring what you eat not only helps you live longer, but better as well, is a daunting task.
Firstly, because each of these areas is a specific discipline: Personal Training, Physical Therapy & Nutrition.
Secondly, because these services have a high bio-individuality quotient, which requires proper testing and benchmarking, so that the solutions are customized for each individual.
And thirdly, because these services are usually provided in an unorchestrated fashion from individual sole practitioners who do not communicate with each other or coordinate plans for their clients.
3. A frictionless concierge experience
Most health and fitness services not only keep clients beholden to a sole practitioner and his or her schedule, but do not offer any level of care outside of scheduling appointments.

Dr. Cordero Roche, PhD
Director of Performance
Cordero Roche, Ph.D., CPSS, CSCS is a sports scientist and biomechanist who focuses on evidence-based training for fitness and performance. He earned his bachelor's and master's at Troy University and his doctorate at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and he pairs that research background with years of hands-on work with athletes and high-performance groups.
He has worked with UFC, Major League Baseball, collegiate athletics, tactical populations, and private strength and conditioning clients. That work includes performance testing and athlete monitoring, analyzing strength and power, assessing movement quality and asymmetries, and building individualized training that improves performance while lowering injury risk.
Dr. Roche's approach goes beyond standard personal training. He draws on biomechanics, exercise science, and performance analytics to understand how each person moves, performs, and responds to training. Whether the goal is weight loss, fitness, strength, better movement, or long-term performance, he sets personalized targets backed by peer-reviewed research, objective data, and measurable progress.
Tyler Caso, MS
Performance Coach
Tyler holds a Master's in Sport & Exercise Science from Ithaca College, a B.A. in Psychology from Franklin & Marshall College, and is a certified strength and conditioning specialist. At Apex, he takes the data from VO2 max testing, body composition, resting metabolic rate, and force plate analysis and turns it into a training plan clients can follow. Goals change over time, and he meets clients where they are, adjusting the plan as they go.
He knows how hard it is for busy, high-achieving people to stay consistent. He has applied experience in mental performance consulting with collegiate athletes, and he brings motivation, focus, stress management, and performing under pressure into his coaching. Having played tight end in collegiate football and worked with NCAA athletes, he understands the mental side of performing at a high level.
Away from the gym, you'll find Tyler talking pro sports or ranking his favorite movies. He's always up for a debate on either.
Lauren Warfield, MS
Performance Coach
Lauren is a performance coach at Apex who helps executives get their training and nutrition working together.
She earned a Masters in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Columbia University and is working toward her Registered Dietitian credential. Before Columbia, she earned dual bachelor degrees in Nutrition and Kinesiology at the University of Texas at Austin, which gave her a grounding in both what the body needs and how it moves.
Her experience includes the Seattle Mariners, Columbia University Athletics, Hospital for Special Surgery, and the Columbia University Medical IBD Center, spanning both sports and clinical settings. She builds on that clinical foundation with hands-on coaching. Her focus is on turning the science of performance into habits clients can keep.
Outside of work, Lauren enjoys traveling to new countries, competing in HYROX, attending sporting events, and spending time with friends and family.
