Special needs training – Special needs refers to anyone whose program needs special adjustments for any reason: Injury, illness recovery, pre and post- natal, during pregnancy, confidence, or just needing additional attention.

Strength training – Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle to exert a powerful movement over a short period of time. Muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to repeatedly produce force over time. Strength and endurance are necessary in order to accomplish daily tasks or do your job without risk of injury. Strength training does not necessary mean that your body will look “bulked up”, although, we can do that as well. Although genetic body type plays a large role in how your body will develop with training, the trainers’ choice of exercises, load, volume, and nutrition can determine the resulting muscular .

Cardiovascular & endurance training – Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart, lungs and circulatory system to take in oxygen and transport it to the working muscles where it can efficiently exchanged and utilized. If this is what you are looking for, we include a VO2 test to obtain an accurate anaerobic threshold heart rate for you to use in training.

Functional training – Functional training is a method of exercise which involves training the body for the activities performed in daily life. Daily life activities include all possible things that people do in their day. Whether you are a furniture mover, athlete, doctor, or mom, what you do every day places a demand on specific muscles and joints. Functional training may lead to better muscular balance and joint stability, possibly impacting the number of injuries sustained and individual's performance in a sport or on the job. The benefits may arise from the use of training that emphasizes the body's natural ability to move in three anatomical planes of motion. In comparison, though machines can often be safer to use, they restrict movements to a single plane of motion, which is an unnatural form of movement for the body and may potentially leads to faulty movement patterns or injury.

Flexibility/range of motion training – Flexibility is the range of motion through a joint. All joints have an “adequate” range of motion that allow for freedom of movement and yet are tight enough to ensure joint stability. We identify joints that have inadequate range and develop a flexibility program for those joints.

Balance, proprioception & coordination training – Proprioception refers to the ability of the proprioceptors, which are located within joints, muscles and tendons, to sense pressure and tension. They then relay this information concerning muscle dynamics to the conscious and subconscious parts of the central nervous system. This is then interpreted by the brain into kinesthetic sense, a conscious awareness of the body in three-dimensional space. Proprioception in it’s purest form is the ability of the body to right itself when unstable. Balance and coordination are the result of good proprioception, kinesthetic sense, and muscular strength.

Core stability training – Your core is divided into three sections that all work together to allow for freedom of motion without injury: pelvic stability; rib cage stability and scapular (shoulder blade) stability. All sections of the core are in your trunk, providing a stable base for the movement of your arms, legs and spine. Core training is not just about abdominal strength; training core means strengthening 29 muscles in a specific manner which teaches them to stabilize against tension.

Pilates – Pilates is a fitness system developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century.Pilates called his method Contrology, because he believed his method uses the mind to control the muscles. The program focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and strengthen the deep torso muscles, which are important to help alleviate and prevent back pain. We have the Peak Performance reformer/half-tower that we use within our training.

Acceleration Training – Acceleration creates instability in the human body, as with each vibration the body is forced to perform reflexive muscle actions, 25 to 50 times per second. Furthermore, these contractions must work in multiple dimensions as our Power Plate machines actually oscillate in all three planes, exactly as the human body is designed to do. The net result is an incredible improvement in force production, or strength and power.

The principle by which acceleration training works lies in the law of motion, stated by Sir Isaac Newton: that the force of an object is equal to its mass multiplied by acceleration, or f = m x a. What this means is that one can improve functional force (stability, strength or power) by either applying more mass or more acceleration to the body. Many forms of training and conditioning use mass - as seen in methods with weight machines, free weights, etc. Whole body vibration, or acceleration, use the second half of this equation, by applying acceleration to the body, while keeping mass, i.e. your body weight, the same. This is a real breakthrough in training and conditioning as we can now optimally “load” the human frame while minimizing high impact, high load, and high stress factors.  Gravity is the force that adds load to the human body every second of every day for every movement we perform. Through Acceleration Training, we make the body feel as though it “weighs” more every time acceleration forces increase. We have two acceleration machines that our trainers use within your program.

Weight loss and management – With all the diet info out there, it all comes down to a simple a formula of calories in vs calories out. With ample water intake, balanced nutrition consisting of healthy proteins, carbohydrates and fats and consistant exercise, weight control can actually be in your control. All of our training packages include a resting metabolic test which calculates your daily caloric requirements. With this information, we can specifically design a nutritional plan that supplements your workout plan.

Sport performance training – Sport specific performance training is a method of training that simulates the precise movement requirements of a sport. Training is specific to muscles used, strength and endurance, joint angles, speed and core requirements.

Sport therapy & post injury rehabilitation – Athletes and non-athletes alike can get the weekend warrior syndrome, where you just over do it, resulting in an injury. Minor muscular strains, joint sprains, tendonitis, and bone stress fractures fall into this category. Sport therapy keeps your training while on the mend. Post injury rehabilitation is when your injury was more serious, taking you out of the game for a while. We can provide continued rehabilitation, coming from a physical therapist, and taking you back into competition.
