Functional Anatomy Part 1
It’s important to know common terminology that we use at this gym to effectively teach you how to move well. The benefits of learning the function of your anatomy and the way it’s capable of moving will help you adjust your body during exercises to produce proper muscle contractions, in the correct muscle. The big […]
Not All Trainers Are Created Equal
When you keep walking in to the gym and your body is in worse shape than when you started working with your trainer… your trainer doesn’t have the skills to fix biomechanics. Function is key to health, chase after function and the “looks” will come. Stop working with trainers that are just there to give […]
“Corrective” Exercise- Training For Life.
Corrective exercise shouldn’t be in its own box. All exercises should include corrections to enhance your body mechanics. Proper mechanics lead to better movement and moving better leads to less wear & tear on your joints and ligaments. If you’re exercising with a trainer that’s just there counting reps or showing you exercises that you […]
Auto Mechanic vs Body Mechanic
When your check engine light comes on in your car or you hear an unfamiliar sound when you’re driving it, you know something is wrong and you take it in to the shop for a mechanic to evaluate what’s wrong. You wouldn’t chance driving a malfunctioning car at 70 m.p.h. because there is a lot […]
Neuromuscular Exercise
Your brain naturally defaults to the neural pathway that represents what you’ve done before. These pathways are created based on habits and behaviors, ei; how you move, what muscles you use to move, what your muscles are doing when you’re not moving, etc. The brain prefers the path of least resistance- the easiest route to […]
Fitness: The Ability To Adapt To Your Environment
At this gym we take the mind and muscle connection to a deeper level of understanding and coordination to ensure you get results and not an injury! You see it’s not enough to think of one muscle while you’re exercising, because when you’re being human and moving your body around like a human body is […]
Why We Build Your Body For Life Outside The Gym
When your training doesn’t involve rational components, your function away from the gym diminishes, because in reality the human body moves via macro and micro rotations. Perhaps not overnight, but eventually routine tasks you used to be able to do without any repercussions become a chore on your body. Playing a game of golf on […]
Stretching, Evolved.
Evolve the way you “stretch” your muscles We condition muscles, along with the fascia that surrounds them, to lengthen and shorten through an entire rep. Thus we are stretching and exercising all in one move The benefit to this simultaneous coordination is that the muscles are preserving their elasticity (ability to elongate and then recoil […]
Proper Muscle Function
Without proper muscle activity, physical activity suffers. If your muscles don’t work when you work, your body picks up the slack in deficit ways. Walking the dogs, playing tennis, exercising, standing, and moving all require functional muscles if you want to do them without consequences. We will teach your body (and brain) how to activate […]
Rotational Strength
Your body needs to have the ability to rotate through all planes of motion while your muscles are controlling the range of movement. When the body has to stay stiff to activate muscles, and it comes time to bend, turn, change directions, etc., it’s going to put torque in the joints because the muscles can’t […]
