Strength & Conditioning Coaching

Movement based strengthening exercise is important for our health and vitality.
Strength and conditioning play an integral role in reducing and reversing conditions such as sarcopenia - muscle wasting related to aging (i.e. loss of muscle mass and muscle strength), osteopenia - loss of bone density related to aging that results in weakened bone strength, and osteoporosis - a further loss of bone density that leads to brittle and fragile bones.
These conditions accelerate under circumstances of prolonged inactivity (i.e. injury, sickness, surgical recovery, and hospital stays). It has been shown that atrophy, aka muscle loss, begins within 2 days of bedrest immobility!
Immobilization of longer than 14 days accelerates this loss of muscle mass by also decreasing the strength of the remaining muscle. The good news is that 90 minutes of strength training each week (3x30 min/week) builds muscle mass and strength. These muscular improvements help to not only maintain and increase function, but also balance and range of motion.
We offer a specialized strength and conditioning program called '60+ Older Adult Training'. This program is designed to:
-
Take the guesswork out of strength training
-
Provide safe, effective exercises
-
Increase muscle mass and strength
-
Maintain and increase bone density
-
Improve balance and coordination which reduces the likelihood of falls
-
Help you feel more vibrant and energetic

Schedule Initial Evaluation
Our journey begins with a movement assessment - a proven formula of key movements - and an orthopedic evaluation provides us with the information needed to build a plan specific to your needs. We then create a login for you on our Coaching Platform 'Active Points Fitness'. This is how you and your coach will communicate throughout your training plan to discuss benchmarks and troubleshoot challenges along the way.
