When you step into Performance Optimal Health, you’re not just walking into another fitness studio, you’re entering a place where science, technology, and personalized care come together to help you become the very best version of yourself. We sat down with Todd Wilkowski, the owner, to talk about what brought Performance Optimal Health to Naples, the unique services they provide, and why the Naples community is such a perfect fit.
Q: Where are you originally from and what brought you to Naples?
I’m originally from the Northeast, and over the years my family and I have spent a lot of time in Southwest Florida. Naples stood out to us for its vibrant, health-focused community and active lifestyle. When the opportunity came to expand Performance Optimal Health here, it felt like the perfect fit — both personally and professionally. Our mission has always been to help people become the best form of themselves, and Naples is a community that truly values that.
Q: Have you always been interested in the fitness and wellness world?
Absolutely. I’ve always believed that health is the foundation for living life to the fullest. Over my career, I’ve been passionate about integrating science, technology, and expert guidance to support people not just physically, but in all areas of their well-being. Helping others unlock their best form is what drives me every day.
Q: What made you want to open your first Performance Optimal Health location?
Our first location started 23 years ago as a physical therapy practice. Even then, we envisioned something bigger: a place where people could receive comprehensive support for their whole health. That vision has evolved into what you see today — Performance Optimal Health clubs — where we bring together personalized programming, expert coaching, and state-of-the-art technology under one roof. Every decision has been guided by the belief that when you care for the whole person, you empower them to be their best.
Q: What services do you offer for your clients? What are your specialties?
We take an integrated approach to health, offering exercise, recovery, nutrition, and stress management — all designed around each client’s goals. Our services include personal training, small group classes, Pilates, golf fitness, physical therapy, massage, assisted stretching, nutrition counseling, recovery therapies, and mental performance consulting. Supported by Technogym technology, we track progress and tailor every plan. Whether in a membership format at select locations — including Naples at Charleston Square — or through one-on-one sessions, our goal is always the same: to help you move, feel, and live as your best self.
Q: What sets you apart from other fitness studios?
It’s our integrated, team approach. At Performance Optimal Health, clients don’t just get one trainer or therapist — they gain access to an entire team of specialists working together toward their success. Every program is personalized, technology-driven, and built to help people achieve their goals and sustain them. We’re not just about workouts; we’re about transformation, helping you become your best form of you.
Q: What do you love most about living in the Naples area?
Naples offers such a unique balance: a strong sense of community, year-round active living, and a deep commitment to health. I enjoy golf both for fun and for business, but more importantly, I love the time I get with my family here and being part of a community that prioritizes well-being. Naples is a place where people truly want to live optimally, and that inspires me.
Q: What do you recommend for someone looking to get started with you?
Come meet our team. We’ll take the time to understand your goals, assess where you are now, and create a plan designed with you at the center. Whether you’re just starting your journey, working through challenges, or looking to fill gaps in your current regimen, we’ll meet you where you are and guide you along the way — helping you reach and sustain the best version of yourself.
