What we do
We are coaches, not clinicians. Every client gets a plan built around their body, their history and what they want back. That is why people come to us when they have outgrown physical therapy, when they want to stay out of it, or when a regular gym does not feel safe.
Three ways to train
- One-on-one Personal Training: you and a coach, on your own written program. The usual starting point for injuries, pain, surgery and anyone new to lifting.
- Semi-private Personal Training: two to four people with one coach, each on their own written program, at a lower cost than one-on-one.
- Group Training: small coached classes on a limited schedule, weekday mornings at 7am and Saturdays at 9am. See the class schedule.
What people come to us for
These are results of training here, not separate programs. Your coach builds them into your plan.
Pain management through movement and exercise
Stiffness and aches often limit how you move, and moving less tends to make them louder. We find movements you can do without making things worse, then build range and strength from there. Lower backs, hips, knees and shoulders are what people bring to us most. We coach exercise. We do not diagnose or treat pain, so new, severe or worsening pain belongs with your doctor first.
Post-rehab training after physical therapy
Physical therapy often ends when daily life is possible again, and the injured side can still be weaker than the other one. We pick up from your physical therapist's notes where you have them, once you are cleared for exercise, and progress load on a written plan until you are back to what you stopped doing.
Pre-rehab training before surgery
If a knee or hip replacement, ACL surgery or another operation is coming, your surgeon or doctor may want you as strong as possible first. With their approval, we coach around your restrictions before surgery, then pick the work back up after you are cleared.
Injury prevention
We start from a movement screen and your injury history, then write down every load so it goes up on purpose. Every rep is coached. Strength, mobility and sensible progress are how we keep you training and doing what you love.
Balance training and confidence on your feet
Balance can be trained. We work on single-leg strength, stairs, uneven ground and getting up from the floor, so being steady on your feet stays part of everyday life as you get older.
Strength training for longevity
Longevity to us means still doing what you love decades from now: carrying your own bags, climbing the hill, playing with the grandkids and traveling. That takes muscle, mobility and a routine you can keep, usually two or three sessions a week.
Cognitive training through movement
Your brain works when your body has to learn. We use coordination, changing patterns and movements that make you think as well as lift, so sessions train attention and body awareness along with strength. This is coaching, not a medical treatment for memory or a cognitive condition.
Functional training
Functional training means practicing what your life asks of you: pushing, pulling, squatting, hinging, twisting, carrying and moving in more than one direction. We train for the hill, the stairs, the surfboard and the kids, not for the mirror.
