At XONE Performance, we see movement as a system – one that breaks down when foundational patterns are ignored. Rather than chasing surface-level metrics or building strength on dysfunction, we focus on correcting the root causes of poor movement to build resilient, high-performing bodies.
Our philosophy starts from the center: training control, coordination, and sequencing from proximal-to-distal. We build strength, stability, and control through your core and hips, then train how that power flows through the rest of your body. This ensures that every rep, every stride, and every lift is built on stable, efficient mechanics. The outcome is more than better performance today – it’s fewer setbacks tomorrow.
Our mission is to change the way people think about performance, by starting with how they move. At XONE, we believe performance is personal, and precision is non-negotiable. That’s why every assessment, every plan, and every progression is built around the individual: their goals, their movement patterns, and their physiology.
We don’t follow generic programs or chase surface-level metrics. We dig deeper, using movement strategy, diagnostics, and expert coaching to build better movers for the long term. Whether your goal is to perform at your peak, stay injury-free, or move with confidence for life, we’re here to give you the tools to get there.
Sandro is a strength and conditioning coach, educator, and movement scientist with over 14 years of experience working across high-performance sport, rehabilitation, and human optimization. He holds a Master of Science in Strength and Conditioning from St. Mary’s University (UK) and is currently pursuing a PhD in biomechanics, investigating foundational movement patterns in dance.
Sandro is the co-founder of XONE Performance and the architect behind its movement strategy system—an innovative framework designed to elevate physical preparation, enhance injury resilience, and optimize movement efficiency across a wide spectrum of individuals, from elite athletes and tactical professionals to older adults striving for longevity and functional performance. His approach is informed by over 37,000 hours of hands-on coaching, extensive data analysis, and applied research.
Sandro currently serves as Head of Sport Science for Mustangs Lacrosse and Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, where he oversees athletic development for over 300 athletes and performers. He has also worked with Field Hockey Canada and previously led the sport science program at The Athlete Factory.
A frequent international presenter, Sandro has spoken at conferences in Helsinki, Houston, and Dublin, and sits on the Board of Directors for Healthy Dancer Canada. His work is widely respected for its scientific rigor, translational focus, and commitment to elevating the field of performance science.
At XONE Performance, Sandro leads the development of assessment protocols, custom programming, and educational initiatives that aim to set a new standard in how we understand, train, and apply human movement.
