• Enhance athletic performance or overall fitness.
• Increase strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health.

• Find relief from pain and improve your overall health and well-being.

Movement and Performance Services

Personal training

Our team of movement specialists, personal trainers, exercise physiologists, and registered kinesiologists utilize movement screens and testing to evaluate your fitness level. This assessment guides evidence-based recommendations aimed at optimizing your health and performance. Addressing biomechanical limitations and establishing correct movement patterns with your coach will help lay the groundwork for improvements in critical areas such as balance, coordination, exercise capacity, strength, muscular endurance, and power.

Yoga and movement therapy

Yoga and movement therapy integrates yoga principles with therapeutic techniques to improve physical health (flexibility, strength, balance, pain relief), mental well-being (stress reduction, anxiety, depression), fostering self-awareness and empowerment through personalized support.

Breath training is integral to any comprehensive training program for multiple reasons involving stress reduction, recovery, strengthening core, improving mind-body connection, lung capacity, and energy management to ensure a balanced and effective fitness approach.

Pilates

Our one-on-one mat and Reformer Pilates sessions are led by certified instructors and tailored to your individual needs. Using precise, low-impact exercises, Pilates helps build core strength and improve posture, flexibility, balance, and movement quality while enhancing body awareness, coordination, and control. Whether you're recovering from an injury, optimizing athletic performance, or moving more comfortably in everyday life, Pilates supports better movement at every stage.

Performance testing

We offer performance testing tools including VO2max testing and DXA body composition scans to support your fitness and movement goals. Understanding your cardiovascular capacity and body composition will help complement your exercise program. Both are available at our downtown clinic.

• VO2max Testing: We tailor training and track progress in your cardiovascular capacity through the VO2max test. The VO2max test is considered the gold standard when assessing your aerobic endurance.
• DXA Body Composition Scans: Body composition insights through the DXA scan help us create a program targeting your specific needs and body re-composition goals. The Movement and Performance team works closely with registered dietitians to ensure each plan is tailored to the individual.
