2025 safety and policy updates
Due to the diminished threat of Covid infection, safety protocols are now: standard equipment sanitization and basic hygiene expectations. Which is essentially how any non-disgusting gym should operate in general.
This might go without saying, BUT, if you are feeling unwell please reschedule your session with as much notice as possible. Rescheduled or missed sessions due to illness will be given more latitude for a make-up session, as well as our appreciation for your consideration toward the trainers and other members of the gym by not getting them sick.
This should also go without saying but please be on time for your session, or let us know if you’re running late. Unless the reason is outside of your control, anyone who is more than 15 minutes late for their session will forfeit that session and not be offered a make-up. We understand that many of us have a lot of responsibilities and things going on, but we politely ask that you respect our time, as well as take seriously the commitment you have made to yourself and your training.
Due to our long held belief in the progress of scientific understanding and continued learning of the human body and all the complex ways in which it functions, we have teamed up with Austin Muscle Restoration, or more informally known as, AMR. They are on the cutting edge of what could be described as advanced physical therapy. Many of their clients had suffered for years from debilitating pain that no one was able to help them with. Through their deep knowledge of human anatomy, the skeletal-muscular system, and a precise methodology of identifying weakened or inactive muscles, they have truly changed lives. Their practice is the result of our continued efforts to further our understanding of the human body and its systems, and the acknowledgment that there is always more to learn and improve upon, especially when it comes to our understanding of the human body.
And lastly, we value inclusion, compassion, and a sense of community. We strive to build everyone up and to support one another through a welcoming, open-minded environment. We are LGBTQ+ friendly.
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 free 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.
