EXOS EDUCATION
The New
Exos Performance Specialist (XPS) Certification
The original XPS shaped the industry. But the science never stopped, and neither did we.
In the new Exos Performance Specialist (XPS) certification, you'll learn the most advanced frameworks, sports science methodology, and immediately actionable tools to deliver measurable results for your athletes and clients.
100% online, self-paced, and globally recognized.
What to Expect from the New XPS
Built on what works, now driven by what’s new.
What was once reserved for elite athletes - advanced diagnostics, performance modeling, and data-driven decision-making - is translated into a practical system you can apply with confidence for any client.
Over the last year, we have spent countless hours pouring everything we know and have continued to learn into this new course. And as technology has changed the landscape for coaches everywhere, more data without the right framework can create more confusion. So the new XPS goes deep into sports science to give you the "why" and the "what."
At its core is the performance architecture that moves beyond isolated training methods, shifting you to systems-level thinking to understand how people move and perform across sport, work, and life. You’ll learn what to measure, how to interpret it, and how to turn insight into precise, effective coaching.
Because performance isn’t built in parts; it’s designed as a system.
And with XPS, you can own that system.
What You'll Learn
Master the Science of Data-Informed Coaching
Get introduced to the Exos Sport Science Methodology, the interdisciplinary study and application of science and technology to enhance human performance through data-informed decision making. Learn to transform assessments into "Movement Profiles" that inform individual programming, collect and use data to demonstrate measurable results, and learn to ask better questions so every decision you make is smarter and more personalized.
Expand Your Coaching Impact Beyond the Gym
Learn the Exos Model of Human Performance, Performance Code, and Gameplans to expand your coaching influence into the "Other 23 Hours." Together, these frameworks form a master blueprint for supporting holistic client goals across sport, work, and life.
Learn Our Most Advanced Movement Frameworks
Explore our most complete conversation to date on understanding and building movement programs for any person, with any goal - one that gives your full performance team a shared language, assessment, and system for movement, from coaches to sports scientists to physical and physiotherapists.
At the center of it, you'll master the Position-Pattern-Power framework to get your athletes and clients ready for their moment. Build a deeper understanding of how and why humans move the way they do - in sport and in daily life - and how to improve that movement through training. Learn to design a complete gameplan for each athlete or client, spanning daily movement, training, mobility, and recovery support.
Get Immediate ROI with Ready-to-Use Course Assets
Start putting the material to work right away. You'll receive ready-to-use professional training plans for both athletes and general population clients, an on-demand toolkit that translates complex theory into actionable coaching, and short, digestible modules that let you apply proven frameworks immediately.
Inside the course, you'll also have access to:
-
Within each training module: a theoretical summary, a sample training program, and guidance on how to conduct the assessments for that component (where applicable)
-
Two case studies: a 12-week training program for a professional athlete, and a 12-week training program for a general population client
-
A library of movement videos for ongoing reference of the exercises taught in XPS

A full-course participant workbook (PDF) to follow along with throughout the course - it supports your study, informs the quiz, and serves as a future reference
