the only gym in las vegas run by a
doctor of physical therapy.
most gyms will push you hard. atlas hoops will push you correctly. dr. julian penaranda’s dpt credential means every training decision here is made with a full understanding of biomechanics, injury prevention, and long-term athletic development. you’re not just getting better — you’re getting built to last.
movement-first coaching
training that starts with how your body moves — not just how hard you can go. every session is designed around your physical reality, not a generic drill sheet.
injury prevention built in
dpt oversight means load management and recovery are part of the plan — not an afterthought when something goes wrong mid-season.
