We focus on:
• Progressive strength training that builds real-world functional capacity
• Joint-friendly exercises that account for previous injuries and limitations
• Proper movement patterns before adding weight or intensity
• Adequate recovery time between sessions
• Sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes
• Creating a judgment-free environment where every client feels welcomed
