PERSONAL TRAINING THAT MOVES YOU AWAY FROM PAIN
EARN YOUR FREEDOM AND BECOME A MOVER
How do I train?
Welcome to MOVE 2 Train, where our mission is to help you move pain-free and sustain an active lifestyle for years to come. We focus on sustainability and injury prevention by integrating corrective exercises into dynamic, challenging, and enjoyable movements tailored to your needs. We get you out of the isolated machines and back to the movement of life.
Our personal training program starts with two easy assessments: a visual postural assessment and a walking/running gait cycle analysis. By identifying and correcting structural compensations, we can eliminate the root cause of many pains and injury.
These assessments are crucial because they are often overlooked, yet they provide invaluable insight into how your body responds to the forces encountered in the movements we perform most frequently in daily life. The best place to start is with foundational movements such as standing, walking, running, and throwing. What we call the CORE FOUR. These essential movements must be efficient before progressing to more complex movements. Our specially designed exercises focus on building strength while correcting both common and unique compensations specific to you.
Poor posture and inefficient gait mechanics can lead to unnecessary wear and tear, resulting in chronic conditions, symptoms, syndromes, and dis-ease. Over time, these issues can slow performance, increase the risk of injury, and cause discomfort ultimately preventing you from enjoying the activities you love later in life. That’s why we take a long-term perspective, assessing which exercises can be sustained for the longest time with minimal cumulative long term damage which is common in traditional training.
Our personal training benefits include pain relief, improved joint balance, better mobility and improved circulatory, pulmonary and endocrine system function. By identifying structural compensations, we work to correct postural and mechanical issues, preventing future injuries and enhancing your overall function.
Our program addresses all aspects of your health, including breath, diet, stress and more.

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT IS THE KEY TO YOUR RESILIENCE.
First off, What is functional training?
I would define functional training as a mode of training specific adaptions that you use in context to your everyday life and in most sports like standing, walking, running, throwing and for movements done in self-preservation. These motions do not have to be done with excessive loads to be an exercise. Training the body as a whole unit under moderate load is not only fun but also trains the neuromuscular system. Uniting the mind and body.
Secondly, What would be non-functional training?
I would say non-functional training would be a mode of training a particular motion in isolation, like bending, pushing, pulling, lifting, and carrying, for the sake of taking general adaption to an extreme. I question why do I need to press 500lbs or squat 1200lbs or curl a bar with 350lbs. Sure my muscle and bones can adapt but, at what cost? Are the joints and ligaments designed to withstand that repetitive long duration load without damage? No, they are susceptible to cumulative micro traumas that turn into that seemingly "from out of nowhere" injury. Understand, that an isolated muscle pushed to an extreme will adapt in isolation causing an imbalance in the kinetic chain sequence. Training the opposing muscle in isolation does not balance the kinetic chains, it just causes more imbalance with ill sequenced muscle activation's during real life movements. However, I understand there may be a need to compartmentalize the kinetic chain to strengthen a muscle, joint or a portion of a chain before it is integrated for full training.
There is strength to be had without damaging your joints under overwhelming vertical compression and friction.
