"We are excited to partner with Ryan to build a state-of-the-art
facility that demonstrates the power of integrating sports

In addition to employing technology for physical training and
recovery, Herbalife Nutrition sports nutritionists and exercise
scientists will be on-site to develop and implement long-term
programs to further analyze effects and benefits of hydration and
micro and macro nutrients. As a comprehensive sports nutrition
performance research facility, the center will be focused on
analyzing the totality of an athlete's lifestyle and how the
utilization of an entire nutrition and training protocol can
benefit their training, on-field performance and recovery.
"With more than a decade in the making, this facility will pair
sports science and our best in class training environment.
Nutrition, training, recovery and therapy will be seamlessly
integrated in this performance center," said Capretta, founder and
director of Proactive Sports Performance. "We look forward to
expanding our relationship with Herbalife Nutrition."

Proactive Sports, founded in 2006 by Capretta, as one of the most
sought out training facilities in the world by professional
athletes of all sports, as well as youth and adult athletes of all
levels. Capretta holds a Masters in Sports Science and worked seven
years in the NFL and at Stanford
University as a strength and conditioning coach.
