Flynn the Fitness Coach offers resistance training programs for real life (functional training) as well as sport-specific training. So if you're looking to improve your overall health and feel better or just want to improve your golf swing contact Flynn the Fitness Coach.
With Flynn the Fitness Coach's 3 stage approach you can achieve your fitness goals!
Stage 1) Postural Assessment and Corrective Exercise Program
Your initial assessment includes checking for dysfunction/misalignment in posture, shoulders, hips etc. These imbalances can result in many common ailments such as chronic pain (knees, back, shoulder, and even headaches) and should be fixed prior to engaging in a resistance training program. Musculoskeletal issues found are addressed through a customized corrective exercise program. This involves self-myofascial release (foam rolling), stretching, and activation/integration exercises to improve motor skill.
There's no point in jumping right into the standard strength training program that most fitness institutions have you do if you're not healthy.
If you're not aligned properly it could easily increase discomfort and the risk of injury!
Stage 2) Resistance Training
Once any imbalances have been addressed through the corrective exercise program we can now make the body stronger and leaner through our functional resistance training program.
What is meant by functional resistance training? Functional training means that we incorporate many standard resistance exercises but in a more functional way (in a way that more reflects actions needed in the real world). You will not spend much time lying on a bench; whenever possible the client will be mimicking the exercise while standing (no bench press!). Conducting a chest press while standing is a dynamic exercise involving many more muscles than the bench press and would improve abdominal strength and balance. It gets your muscles working together rather than unnecessarily isolating them.
Muscles do not work in isolation in the real world - so don't train them that way!
Stage 3) Power Training
Once we have a base of strength we can then train the muscles to be more powerful. Power is NOT an intimidating word - all it means is that we train the muscles to react quickly.
Why is this important?
In all aspects of life having the muscles respond quickly is beneficial. In particular, the aging population is subject to falls resulting in serious injury. Through strength training balance is greatly improved, diminishing the likelihood of falling. Additionally, if a stumble were to happen lower body muscles that have been trained in power exercises can react quickly and save the fall.
Are you powerful enough to prevent a fall?
All phases include coaching for cardiovascular training and nutrition advice.
Services are for one-on-one, couples and small groups, in 60 minutes sessions.
Train in the comfort and privacy of your own home or in our private studio with brand new state of the art functional training equipment.
It doesn't take much equipment to get started in your own home! All that is required to begin training in your own home is a stability ball, a yoga mat, some strength bands, and foam roller. Less than $100 easily!
