Personal Trainer of the Future, But Now
Hiring a personal trainer often comes with some degree of uncertainty about what to expect.
It isn’t just trying to figure out if the trainer you’re hiring has the skills to help you achieve your goals, it’s also about whether they’re good enough to teach you the things you didn’t even know should be goals.
Hiring a personal trainer
shouldn’t just be about having someone to put you through a workout and then once you’re good and tired, send you on your way. You should expect your trainer to understand you personally, where you’re currently at, what your capabilities are, and any limitations you currently have. They should be able to program personalized workouts, designed for your current capabilities, while simultaneously increasing your progress.
Modern day personal trainers of the future
should be able to address your pain and mobility issues, and work to resolve any problems you might have through skillful problem-solving and an awareness of the unique demands, activities, and challenges of your lifestyle.
They should be able to explain with clarity why the exercises you’re doing are beneficial, as well as be able to give clear instruction on how to properly perform all of your exercises.
They should understand the multitude of different approaches that can be applied to resolve chronic pain issues or issues arising from injuries or surgeries. They should be able to correct muscle imbalances, and be aware of the correlation between weak muscles and tight muscles, and not only be able to recognize what the problem is, but know the proper course of action to take to resolve it.
Putting you through a workout and building strength is just one skill in a wide range of skills that a modern day trainer of the future should possess. If you’d like to read more about what to expect from your personal trainer, check out our blog post, Finding the Best Personal Trainer.

Build Strength, Resolve Chronic Pain, and Manage Weight
Core Concepts and Theory
In coming up with a name for our business it was important that it represented exactly what we do. We do not follow the latest trend or fad just because it’s popular. We follow the latest science behind human movement and the human movement system, and combine it with straight-forward, tried and true methods that focus on stability, control, and strength progression.
We create a Foundation for your understanding of fitness, exercise, and weightlifting, and Personalize it to your goals, lifestyle, and abilities.
Industry Secrets
What is often not talked about in the fitness world, and to an extent, the medical world in general, is that there are many elements and aspects of the human body and how it does what it does, and why it does what it does, that are still unknown.
That is why it is so important to stay current with any scientific information coming out about our bodies and how they function. Sometimes the latest fad actually is on to something. But more often than not it’s just something “new” in order to keep people interested. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. But when injuries abound, it’s time to question the methodology.
Methodology
No matter what profession you work in, there is a method for everything in order to achieve consistent, productive, and efficient results. Working out is no different. It might seem that way because everyone at the gym is doing something different, but that’s honestly just because most of us have never been taught the proper methodology behind exercise and human movement, and how to achieve effective, knowledge driven results.
It’s really no surprise when all we ever did in gym class was play kickball. Which was pretty awesome, but we didn’t learn much.
So if you are interested in gaining knowledge, then putting into practice the methodology of efficient and effective exercise, and thereby gaining a better understanding of your body and the human movement system, fill out a contact form and sign up for a consultation.
About
One of the things that I appreciate the most about fitness and exercise is that it is a great equalizer. No matter who you are, what you do, or how much money you make, if you want to be strong and fit, you have to work for it. Physical fitness cannot be bought, borrowed, discovered, or stolen. The wealthiest person in the word has to work just as hard as the poorest person to be fit.
At Foundation Personalized Fitness you will receive just that; a personalized training program.
Each one of us is on our own path toward health and fitness. Some are looking to better understand and eliminate chronic pain. Others want to build strength and endurance, or increase their mobility and range of motion. Some people want to learn the valuable mechanics of lifting and how those concepts apply to human movement.
And some people might not even be interested in lifting weights at all but would rather harness a better understanding of their running mechanics and how to optimize this to improve their strength and endurance for running, along with one of the most important factors; eliminating nagging pain and injuries, which is so common for runners.
By taking a personalized approach to training and meeting each person at wherever they are in their life, obstacles that seemed insurmountable will be overcome, strength that you didn’t know you had will be discovered, and a better understanding of how to take care of your body in order to keep it strong and pain free will be achieved.
