Individual programming tailored to your success
Centrally located in San Diego, California, our brand new, state-of-the-art facility was designed specifically for the modern baseball and softball athlete. Complete with a 4,500 sq. ft. training floor and indoor pitching mound, Symbiotic is your one-stop shop to improving performance. Training programs are combined with physical therapy and top quality recovery equipment so that you have a well-rounded program that keeps you healthy all season long.
While our expertise is rooted in baseball and softball pitching, our facility and step-by-step approach builds a foundation appropriate for all sports, including basketball, volleyball, and golf. We welcome all athletes who are serious about their performance and ready to get to work.
Here are some of the services and amenities we offer:
We offer a variety of assessments to fit the needs of our athletes and general population physical therapy clients. All athletes begin with an initial assessment that pairs a movement screen provided by one of physical therapists, with a trainer-led measurement of athletic ability via a battery of sport specific tests using state of the art equipment, and concludes with a sit down consultation.
By far our most popular service, we use the results of the initial assessment to create custom athletic training programs for each individual that are executed in a small group setting.
Some circumstances are best served with personal one-on-one training. Whether the goal is sprint mechanics, game speed agility, vertical jump training, or strength training, we do it all and then some. Private training is scheduled during hours that our facility isn’t as busy, which creates an ideal environment for learning and personal interaction.
Our physical therapists on site offer treatment options to improve movement including joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, trigger point release, pin and stretch, myofascial decompression, and many more. Not only do they address the primary injury, they also address the biomechanical influences of other areas of the body to ensure full recovery and long term orthopedic health.
From return-to-play throwing programs following injury or an extended rest period, to elite pitching performance and velocity training, we have you covered. Powered by ArmCare, we’re able to accurately and consistently track each athlete’s ranges of motion, strength, fatigue, and recovery. We offer in person private and semi-private training, along with at home / remote programs.
Our facility is stocked with a variety of recovery equipment and modalities to complement our training programs, including a Normatec/Hyperice recovery room and cold plunge and contrast therapy by Edge Theory Labs.
Using video analysis coupled with Trackman and Rapsodo for accurate and immediate feedback, we offer one on one pitching instruction and bull pens for athletes aged 12 and older.
The holistic approach that Symbiotic takes to give their athletes the best experience and treatment is why I trusted them to help me prepare for the biggest competition of my career at the Tokyo Olympics. Their training gave me confidence to move properly, stay healthy, and take ownership of my process. The environment Symbiotic creates in the gym makes coming to work every day enjoyable and competitive. I'm grateful to have gotten to train with him for a decade of my career!

I've been working with Jono of Symbiotic for close to 7 seasons now. Whether it's offseason strength training or recovery from an injury the man simply gets it done. His knowledge and experience are the best in the business.
James Hoyt
Former pitcher for World Series Champion Houston Astros, Miami Marlins, and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Training with Symbiotic is an awesome experience and has really helped me develop as a baseball player. The environment and training is second to none and I have really enjoyed all of my time training with the Symbiotic crew!

I joined Symbiotic two years ago for my offseason training and it was one of my best decisions. A combination of excellent training and recovery method, Symbiotic is a place where you can maximize your abilities and stay healthy at the same time – not to mention the amazing staff that treat you like family.
Carson Williams
Tampa Bay Rays #3 Top Prospect
Symbiotic has had a huge impact on my baseball career. It is not a coincidence that after coming to them for help, I ended up making my major league debut shortly after. Besides this milestone, i was also able to finish three consecutive seasons without any time spent on the IL. This is a perfect example of how Symbiotic not only helped me improve on the field, but most importantly, they kept me healthy. We, as players, are the ones that have to put in the work to achieve our life long goals. However, I genuinely believe Symbiotic provides us with all the tools necessary to accomplish just that. i would not be where I am today without them and cannot thank them enough.

KT Whiz (Korea Baseball Organization), formerly Baltimore Orioles & Pittsburgh Pirates
Symbiotic has played a massive role in my career and development as an athlete. I have never been around a strength coach who desires to learn as much as Jono does and share his knowledge with his clients. Every single offseason that I have returned, my program has evolved because he has spent so much time and effort figuring out ways to help me get better.
Jake Reed

My body has literally never felt better than after an offseason with these guys. They taught me to move in ways that I never even realized were possible.
Garrett Whitley

Jono and the crew at Symbiotic are one of a kind. This last offseason I spent there has shown me how training at Symbiotic truly helps my performance on the field.
Mike Paredes
Minnesota Twins High A Affiliate, former SDSU pitcher
Jono has not only helped me get stronger and faster, but has also helped me move the right way. His programming is specific to my body and focuses on making my deficiencies my strengths.
Connor Joe
Pittsburg Pirates
Symbiotic Training is one of the very best in the business. Their ability to understand the needs of the athlete and form a program is why I refer all my professional and amateur clients to them. They continue to learn and grow their craft, and their ability to translate the information to their athletes is what separates them from all others!
DOM JOHNSON
Professional baseball pitching instructor, University of St. Katherine's assistant coach
Symbiotic is the place to go if you are looking to get better on and off the field. Jono and his crew have everything you need and more to reach your goals, whether that is improving strength, speed, mobility, etc. Most importantly the environment at Symbiotic is unmatched; the people there will push you to your hardest but will also have fun doing it.
Anthony Hall

Jono and the PT staff at Symbiotic have been instrumental in my athletic career. Their approach to physical assessment, evaluating my training needs and developing a specific program tailored to my goals, have helped me to compete to the best of athletic ability! From performance to recovery, Symbiotic has helped me stay at the top of my physical game.
