A Hybrid Method for Forever Fitness

Each year millions of people want to get back in shape.

Whether they have a 24/7 gym membership... a small home gym... or a pair of dumbbells in the basement - it's a real struggle. They don't know where to begin. Or their body feels like it's "falling apart" whenever they do cardio, lift weights or try to be physically active.

If you want to feel better and move better while getting in shape - keep reading...

The Fitness Industry is Failing Most People

Consider these gym stats:

18% of people use their gym membership consistently.
80% of gym memberships aren't used.
50% of new members quit using the gym within the first 6-months.

Why do so many quit?

The most common reasons are:

Lack of motivation
Lack of results
Injuries

The Big Problem: Physical Pain and Dysfunction

Getting in shape can be hard enough.

But when you have a bad back... sore knees... or a shoulder that hurts every time you lift - it becomes much harder. Harder to enjoy exercise... harder to stay motivated... and harder to stay consistent.

Plus, pushing through these nagging pains can not only be discouraging but debilitating when they interfere with your lifestyle and set you back for months or even years.

Consider These Sobering Stats:

25%

of adults experience frequent knee pain each year.

25%

of adults experienced lower back pain in the last 3 months.

18-26%

of people experience shoulder pain each year.

30-50%

of people experience neck pain each year.

The Silent Killer of Getting In Shape

Even though most people are suffering from joint or muscle pain, it doesn't stop them when motivation strikes.

One day they get fed up with being out of shape and say...

"Enough is enough!"

They join the gym... lace up for a treadmill run... or hit the weight machines. But their body isn't as limber as it was in their 20's and 30's. Their hips are tight, their shoulders are stiff, or their core muscles are wobbly. So their body resists the workouts and they strain, struggle and sadly many hurt themselves in the process.

In fact, research shows those who move worse are 1.8-5.9x more likely to be injured than those who move better.

When your body is stiff, inflexible or has years of wear and tear - it takes a different fitness strategy: one that restores your physical fitness and your movement health.

What Is Movement Health?

Movement health is your mobility, flexibility and balance.

Touching your toes... sitting in a squat position... reaching behind your back... and balancing on one leg are a few indicators. Your body's ability to do these little movements, makes a BIG impact on staying active.

In fact, your movement health unlocks your physical freedom - it determines what physical activities, sports and hobbies your body can and cannot do. And most people ignore it when trying to get in shape.

Think about it:

If your ankle is stiff, it’s harder to walk on the treadmill, climb stairs or hike trails on vacation.
If your hips are tight, it's harder to bend over safely, work on your hands and knees in the garden, or build stronger, more toned leg muscles.
If your shoulders can’t move freely, it will be much harder to lift objects overhead, hit a golf ball or build bigger arms.

Restore your movement health and your physical fitness will follow.

Step 1:

Restore Your Movement

Mobility/Flexibility

To move freely and move better requires restoring mobility and flexibility across the body.

Core Stability

To build a stronger, healthier midsection that protects your spine.

Balance

When your body doesn't stabilize correctly physical activity becomes much more difficult.

Step 2:

Restore Your Fitness

Resistance Training

To tone up your arms, legs and midsection - while also boosting your metabolism.

Cardio Training

To burn more calories and boost your physical stamina.

Metabolic Training

To burn fat and elevate your metabolism during (and after) your workouts.

Get Fit When Your Body Feels Like It's Breaking Down

Whether it's a past injury that you can't quite get over... sporadic lower back pain... or constant difficulty with flexibility or balance - getting in shape with these challenges requires precision.

It requires restoring your mobility, flexibility and balance so you have the foundation to get into the best shape of your life.

Imagine your SUV has an alignment problem - and you just kept driving it day... after... day.... eventually something would break down. Your body works the same way.

A Hybrid Approach to Lasting Results

This is not traditional personal training.

This is not physical therapy.

Our functional training is designed to help you move better and feel better so you have the foundation to get into the best shape of your life.

When you move better, it's easier to lose your belly.
When you move better, it's easier to build lean muscle.
When you move better, it's easier to participate in meaningful hobbies and activities.

As your movement health improves, you restore your physical strength, stamina and vitality.

Step 3: Movement Assessment

Our fitness programs are not cookie-cutter.

They are built specfically for your body, your background, and your specific fitness goals. We take you through a research-backed movement assessment so we know exactly what exercises will support you best... which exercises will not be effective... and any "weak links" that need to be addressed in your workout program. We use this information to build your individualized workout program.

Step 4: Begin Your Workout Program

Your fitness coach will take you through your first workout program. They'll make sure you're performing the exercises correctly... give you tips for doing them on your own... and answer any questions along the way. Anyone can make you tired in a workout. Our goal: help you feel better and rebuild your strength and stamina at a pace that makes sense for you.

Step 5: Ongoing, Continual Support

Some of our fitness programs have a coach meeting with you weekly or multiple times per week. Others a few times per month. Either way, each session your fitness coach will guide, encourage and motivate you every step of the way. You’ll leave your sessions feeling physically better and more confident in your body. Inside or outside your workout session, we're in your corner.

Step 6: Celebrate Your Wins

We don't guess that you are making progress. We track it. We reassess your movement health. We review drops in the scale... improvements in stamina and physical strength... and any other meaningful victories. Then we meet to review it and keep building on your success. This is not about get-fit-quick, this is about lasting transformation. And pausing to reflect, strategize and celebrate is a huge part of a successful fitness journey.

If our process resonates with you and you want guidance on your fitness journey, schedule a free strategy session to learn more.
