Meet the Business Owner

Derek T.

Business Owner

Standing at 6 feet, 4 inches, Derek Touchette has the build of a natural athlete. But Touchette says being a great athlete is about more than good genetics. At Velocity Sports Performance in Naples, which he co-​owns with his father, Touchette works with children and adults to teach the fundamentals of speed, agility and strength. «We make better athletes,» he says.

Make no mistake: this is not ordinary gyms (and Touchette is no ordinary personal trainer). The 15,000-square-foot facility doesn’t rely on machines to condition its athletes. Instead, coaches — who all hold degrees in exercise science — work with athletes on the facility’s four lane, 50-​yard track or 20– by 40-​yard stretch of AstroTurf. «We like to keep it fun,» Touchette says. «Keep people off the machines.»

Touchette has worked with hundreds of athletes, including Olympic /​World Champions and more than 50 players currently in the NFL. (Thanks to Artis Henderson with the Naples Illustrated).
