What Customers are Saying…
“Regardless of the type of movement/exercise/training practice that a person chooses to engage with, there should be some progression they can follow to take them from the ranks of entry level to intermediate to advanced practitioner. Not all who begin an exercise practice are capable of reaching the level of being an advanced trainee, but such a logical, sequential progression—one based on fundamental principles—should be the backbone of any discipline’s training model.
This program is not intended to reach into movement realms, such as yoga, Pilates, or dance. Rather, this program will focus on forms of exercise primarily aimed at creating large scale, measurable physiological adaptations.”
