How the best get better.
XPT is a performance lifestyle system founded by legendary big-wave surfer and waterman Laird Hamilton, and groundbreaking female athlete and author Gabby Reece. XPT brings together holistic methodologies validated by elite athletes, military special ops forces, and leading performance scientists to push any human toward a more invigorated, resilient and versatile version of themselves.
Philosophy
We believe that life should be lived in its highest form. Not everyone is an elite athlete, but everyone can benefit from showing up as the best version of themselves – physically, emotionally, relationally, mentally, and spiritually (PERMS, as we say).
That is achieved by doing hard things. When we find ourselves in situations that force us to adapt, we grow in each element of PERMS. And with XPT’s techniques for adaptation, there are no limits on that growth.
The 5 pillars of extreme performance
XPT’s techniques are built upon the five pillars of a high performance lifestyle, each of which play an essential part in the success of the others.

Where it all started
Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece developed XPT out of a passion for pushing the limits of human performance in life and sport. Our system’s origin can be traced back to Laird’s exploration of various breathing techniques and of carrying stones underwater. Those practices, researched and guided by various domain leaders, and tested over the years on the planet’s highest performing people, have since expanded into a holistic and innovative approach to human optimization.
