Inge Performance Lab: Opening Day Set for December 13th

In a significant development for aspiring athletes in Michigan, the Inge Performance Lab (IPL) is set to open its doors on December 13, 2025. Founded by former Detroit Tigers player Brandon Inge, this family-run athletic training facility aims to elevate the standards of athletic development for athletes of all ages. The grand opening, scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., promises to be an engaging event, featuring facility tours, meet-and-greets with staff, demonstrations, and membership opportunities.

Located in Brighton, Michigan, IPL is dedicated to providing high-quality training in a supportive environment. With a focus on softball and baseball, the facility merges advanced training techniques with mentorship from experienced coaches who have excelled at the highest levels of the game. Inge, who had a successful 13-year career in Major League Baseball, primarily with the Detroit Tigers, will be one of the key trainers at the facility.

A Vision for Athlete Development

Reflecting on his career, Inge emphasizes the importance of mentorship in the development of young athletes. He shares, "At every stage of my career, having mentors and coaches who believed in me made all the difference. I wanted to build a place where athletes can get world-class training, real guidance, and an environment that genuinely invests in their future." This sentiment resonates with the core mission of IPL: to support athletes in reaching their fullest potential.

The facility will provide various training packages designed to cater to youth, high-school, collegiate, and professional athletes. Among these, the Platinum Membership stands out as the most exclusive program, offering personalized coaching and advanced performance training with IPL's expert staff.

Special Launch Offer: The Founding 15

In celebration of the grand opening, IPL is introducing an exciting initiative called The Founding 15. This program invites the first 15 athletes who sign up for the Platinum Membership before the grand opening to enjoy special benefits. Those selected will receive:

• - A 30-minute training session with Brandon Inge,
• - Recognition on the Founding 15 Wall of Fame,
• - A limited-edition Founding 15 shirt and custom IPL #15 bag tag.

Co-owner Shani Inge underscores the importance of community, stating, “This facility was built not just for training, but for community. We want every athlete and every parent who walks through our doors to feel supported, challenged, and confident in the development path ahead.” This vision of community engagement extends beyond immediate training needs and aims to create lasting relationships with local youth and families.

Educational Opportunities

In addition to personalized training, IPL is dedicated to providing educational opportunities for both athletes and their families. Throughout the year, the facility will host workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions featuring MLB Scouts, current and former professional players, and experts in strength and conditioning. Topics will cover various aspects of athletic development, including recruiting, injury prevention, mental performance, and more.

Inge highlights, “Our goal is to meet athletes where they are and give them the tools, guidance, and support they need to reach their next level; whether that's a middle school roster or a professional draft.” This commitment underscores IPL's comprehensive approach to athlete development.

Commitment to the Community

True to their values, the Inge family plans to allocate a portion of the facility's annual sales to support local youth sports programs, training scholarships, and community organizations. Inge explains, “Michigan is home to us, and giving back is part of why we built this facility. If we can help more kids chase their dreams, that’s a win.”
