New multi-use facility in Madison, MS becomes regional flagship. 

COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 10, 2013 – Velocity Sports Performance has partnered with Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center and Mississippi Baptist Health Systems in the new Madison Healthplex Performance Center. The facility is approximately 96,000 square feet and located on the 90-acre Baptist Madison Campus. It’s scheduled to open late in the fourth quarter of 2013.

At the Madison Healthplex Performance Center, Velocity will provide its sports performance services and solutions to a variety of athletes and adults in group, team, and private settings. High school, college, professional, and endurance athletes will benefit from Velocity’s elite training programs and experienced coaches.

“We’re tremendously excited to be involved in this impressive, world-class facility,” said Peter Barbaresi, president and CEO of Velocity. “Integrating our sports performance solutions with Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center and Baptist’s existing medical, physical therapy, orthopaedic, and nutritional programs also advances our High Performance model for athletes who require and demand a complete training experience.”

The features of the performance center include a fitness floor with cardio equipment, indoor and outdoor tracks and turf fields, a weight training area, and locker rooms.

“A partnership like this between Baptist, Mississippi Sports Medicine and now Velocity creates a facility offering services unlike any other offered in this market,” said David Carpenter, Executive Director at the Madison Healthplex Performance Center.

In addition to Velocity’s presence in the new Madison facility, the partnership also includes the implementation of Velocity sports performance training services inside Baptist Health Systems’ existing healthplex centers in the cities of Clinton and Jackson.

“Expanding this partnership to our other facilities enables Baptist to provide this unique sports performance training to these areas without having to travel too far,” Carpenter said. “We anticipate that this will be a huge value-add to our members.”
