What is the Athletic Performance IV?

The Athletic Performance IV is a one liter recovery drip. It has fluids, electrolytes, an amino blend, B complex, B12, magnesium, vitamin C, and glutathione. It puts back what a hard workout takes out. It takes 45 to 60 minutes. It costs $285 mobile or $255 at the studio.

What’s in the bag

What’s in the Athletic Performance IV

Doses are set by our nurse practitioner. Your nurse can leave out any item you do not want.

Sterile fluids and electrolytes

Puts back the water and salts you sweat out. This is the fix for cramps and heavy legs.

Amino blend

Amino acids are the building blocks of muscle. They help your muscles repair after hard work.

B complex

Helps your body turn food into energy. Supports your nerves.

Vitamin B12

Helps with the tired, flat feeling after a big effort.

Magnesium

Helps muscles relax. Eases cramps and twitches. Supports sleep the night after a race.

Vitamin C

Helps your body repair and deal with the stress of training.

Glutathione

Your body’s main antioxidant. Helps clean up after a long, hard day.

Signs you need an Athletic Performance IV

Pick any two and this is your drip.

  • Your legs are sore two days after a run
  • Cramps wake you up at night
  • Your legs feel heavy on easy days
  • Headache after a hot workout
  • You are thirsty no matter how much you drink
  • Dizzy or shaky after a long ride or hike
  • You are slow to bounce back between hard days
  • You have a race, a game, or a tournament this weekend
  • You just finished a big training block
  • You walked 18 holes in the sun and feel wrecked

Before or after? When to book

Both work. It depends on your goal.

TimingWhenWhy
Pre event (pre workout IV)1 to 2 days before the race or gameStart with a full tank of water and salts. Top up your vitamins. Sleep well the night before.
Post event (post workout IV)Same day or the next morningPut back what you lost. Ease the cramps and soreness. Bounce back for the next day.
Big training blockOnce a week during the hardest weeksKeep your legs fresh when the volume is high.

Some runners book both. One drip two days before. One drip the morning after. Text us and we will set it up.

How fast does it work?

Most people feel a change in 20 to 30 minutes. The fluids and salts go in first. Heavy legs get lighter. The headache fades. By the end of the bag, most people feel steady and clear. The amino blend keeps working over the next day.

Here is why it beats a sports drink. When you drink, your gut has to move the water into your blood. That takes hours. After a hot race, your gut is slow. An IV skips that step. Almost all of it goes to work right away.

Safety first

Is the Athletic Performance IV safe?

Yes, when a nurse gives it and a provider signs off. That is how we do it every time.

  • A registered nurse gives every IV.
  • Our nurse practitioner reviews every protocol.
  • Sterile, single use supplies.
  • We check your vitals before we start.
  • We ask about your health and your medicines first.

Who should skip it or ask first: people with heart, kidney, or liver disease. Anyone who is pregnant. Ask your OB, and see our Morning Sickness IV. Anyone with a known allergy to any item in the bag. Adults only. If you compete under anti doping rules, check with your team first. Some sports limit IVs outside a hospital.

This is a wellness service. We do not treat heat stroke. If someone is confused, has stopped sweating, or passes out in the heat, call 911. After surgery, see our post surgery recovery page. That one always needs your surgeon’s okay.

VIP membership

$259 a month for one free IV every month (up to $329 in value), three free booster add-ons, 20% off additional IVs, and no long-term contract. For studio visits.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still wondering? Text us or call (480) 674-⁠8268.

Should I get it before or after my race?

Either one. Before, it fills your tank and helps you sleep. After, it puts back what you lost and eases the soreness. Many runners do both.

How soon after a marathon can I get one?

As soon as you are home and showered. Same day is usually open. If you feel faint or confused, that is a medical issue. Get checked first.

Will it help with cramps?

Most cramps come from lost water, salt, and magnesium. This bag puts all three back. Most people feel their legs settle before the bag is done.

Will it help sore muscles?

It helps. The fluids, magnesium, and amino blend all support muscle repair. It does not erase a hard effort. You still need sleep and food.

Can you come to my gym or the golf course?

Yes, if there is a quiet place to sit. Many people book us at the clubhouse or the team house. Homes and hotels are the easiest.

Do you do IVs for kids in youth sports?

No. We give IVs to adults only. Parents book this one for themselves after a long tournament weekend.

I compete. Is an IV allowed?

Check with your team or your sport’s rules first. Some sports limit IVs outside a hospital. We are happy to talk it through with you.

How long does it take?

45 to 60 minutes from the time the nurse starts the drip.

What is the amino blend?

A mix of amino acids. They are the building blocks your muscles use to repair. It goes in with the fluids.

Can I work out after?

Yes. Most people feel ready sooner, not later. Go easy the rest of the day after a race.

Does insurance pay for it?

No. Most HSA and FSA cards work. We take all major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

Do I need a doctor’s note?

No. You need a short video call with a nurse practitioner before your first IV. It takes about five minutes. It is good for one year.
