OUR STORY
Quinn Henoch led the charge by creating the original Clinical Athlete in 2015, with a mission to connect athletes with professionals who understand their goals and who they can trust, and to educate clinicians, coaches, and students in the realms of athlete health & performance to serve those athletes.
This mission deeply resonated with the industry and grew quickly into one of the most impactful communities and networks of providers who honored the following “code”:
As a ClinicalAthlete Provider, my core values are:
- To Be a trustworthy resource for my clients and community at large, and to conduct myself in a way deserving of that trust
- To Prioritize the well-being and self-efficacy of each client
- To Understand my client and their world to the fullest extent possible, so that I may
guide them toward their individual goals
- To Be a good steward of my client’s time, energy and resources by providing accurate
clinical narratives, working against the spread of misinformation, and avoiding
unnecessary interventions
- To Take ownership for the development of my literacy in rehabilitation and
performance research, so I can better inform my words and actions in my clinical and
coaching practice
- To Willingly and humbly engage in discussion, with myself and others, to examine my
own beliefs, understand differing viewpoints, acquire new information, and improve
myself through this process
- To Commit to the discipline of my own physical training so that I know what it is to
be an athlete, and so I may be disposed to give the most of myself to my clients
- To conduct myself with professionalism and dignity always, and to carry the Clinical
Athlete name and reputation with the respect it deserves
Clinical Athlete struck a chord, and impacted the lives of thousands of clinicians, coaches, and students through its platform.
At the end 2017, Zak Gabor and Steph Allen (both existing members of the Clinical Athlete Community), created The Level Up Initiative - a free mentorship program with the mission of “Transforming the People Who Will Transform Healthcare” through focus on cultivating a growth mindset, critical thinking, and communication skills. While these values were embedded in the Clinical Athlete community, they felt it deserved its own focus to truly create world class clinicians and coaches who could also combat the spread of misinformation and harmful healthcare. It had over 2,000 people go through this program, with life changing impacts.
In 2019, an idea to do a joint educational summit changed everything. We already had a lot of overlap in our community, and felt that together, a comprehensive event focusing on excellence with: exercise, critical thinking, and communication would make for a hell of an experience. And we were right. Despite a complete pivot from in person to remote (Covid era), we pulled off an incredible online summit and the rest is history. We knew that we were both better off joining forces to create the ultimate platform to prepare clinicians, coaches, and students to provide world class care focusing on excellence with Critical Thinking, ExRx, and Communication.
In 2020, CALU was born - Clever, we know. Truth is, creating a new brand name felt forced. The TLDR is that it was a struggle to merge our resources, products, and it was confusing to our audience about what CALU even is.
In 2023, we finally hit traction with bringing clarity to what we were doing, and launched our signature Exercise Prescription program embedded in our private community platform. A program that packaged all of the values of our community through this world class curriculum led by industry expert Quinn Henoch. The feedback was amazing, but we felt like CALU was still too confusing and limiting our impact.
Over the last year, we agreed that we needed one final “Re-Brand” and decided that bringing back an updated Clinical Athlete was the right decision.
So here we are, coming full circle almost a decade later with clarity, an incredible product, an incredible community, and a hunger to keep making a true impact in the healthcare and performance industries. We can’t wait to connect with you!
