Poliquin Performance was founded in Phoenix, Arizona in 2001 by Coach Charles Poliquin. Hailed as one of the world's premier strength coaches, Coach Poliquin has successfully trained professional athletes and Olympians worldwide. His training methods and nutritional philosophies quickly became highly sought after in the industry and it became our goal to improve the level of sports performance throughout the world by developing a higher quality strength coach.

To reach this goal, Poliquin Performance took a new direction in May 2006 and began to concentrate on teaching Charles’ philosophies worldwide through both the Poliquin International Certification Program (P.I.C.P.) and BioSignature Practitioner programs.

Today, we are proud to have certified P.I.C.P. coaches in over 50 countries with a record number of Level 5 Master Strength Coaches!  Our exclusive BioSignature Method was developed by Charles Poliquin himself,  and continues to expand at a rapid pace with featured articles on it’s success featured in magazines worldwide!  While others have tried to mimic our modulation, there is only one true BioSignature Method and the only place to learn about it is here at Poliquin Performance!
 
Charles believes in the power of effective nutrition plans and supplementation to help athletes reach the next performance levels. June 2006 marked the launch of Charles' own supplementation line. Today we offer over 100 products under the Poliquin label in a variety of categories including Charles’s very own proprietary blends.  Our exclusive partnership with FedEx enables us to successfully ship anywhere in the world.
