Know where you are. Know what you need. Know what to do.
The Movement & Strength Assessment is a thorough one-on-one evaluation of how you move and where you are physically. Using standardized tests, I assess your balance, strength, mobility, and movement quality — then I put it together in a report that tells you exactly where you stand and what you should be working on.
The assessment is designed to be used in two ways. For self-directed clients, it functions as a coaching and exercise prescription session — you leave with a clear, individualized program you can take and follow on your own. For personal training clients, every new client begins with an assessment, because I need to know exactly where you are before I can build the right program for you.
I am also available for periodic check-ins and progress reassessments, either by phone or in person, to review how things are going and adjust your program as needed.
