The Value of Assessment

Why do we assess? We get this question a lot.

We love and value the assessment. We will not work with any individual without performing our thorough, ground up, joint by joint assessment. If we don’t assess, we are left to guessing and guessing would mean that we’d only be failing to optimally serve our members.

Assessments are the truth. They allow coaches to align what a client says they want to do for fitness with the truth of what they are presently capable of.

Each individual goes through our nine step screening that allows our coaches to clearly identify what an individual’s movements will look like before seeing them move and predict what problems will arise before they become problems.

How do we apply these findings? Through planning and exercise selection. You and your coach will take the findings of your assessment and determine what other avenues of movement we can look toward in order to increase areas of opportunity for a higher performing, safer, healthier, well-rounded athlete.  

For beginners, it may look like incorporating a basic patterns-focused approach to your training like we provide in our Build Track, individualized Program Design, or one-on-one Personal Training.

For intermediate and advanced athletes, you will identify why your gains have plateaued, why dead lifting and pull up sessions end in back and shoulder pain. We have a humbling Build Track for performance athletes to dip their feet into as well as coaches to help you modify your workouts and not skip a beat no matter how intense your workout is.

Wherever you are in fitness, we have solutions.

We use assessments as an opportunity to best serve our members, uncover what needs work and to provide quantitative metrics to monitor an individual’s progress.

How do you track your movement?

Let’s work together to get a deeper understanding on how and why you move the way that you do. Let us serve you and move you in the direction that best suits you and where you are.

Our next programming cycle runs from July 12th to September 12th. It's an 8-week cycle, so it's a bit shorter than the last one. We'll be bringing back some Olympic lifts and continuing with the A-B week progressions. The post Functional Fitness Training Block: Resurgence Cycle appeared first on R3VIVE FITNESS.
