PERSONAL TRAINING
Training Philosophy
At BPM, we take the time to design programs specifically with your needs and goals in mind. It starts from the ground up, focusing on stability, mobility and form, then taking the natural progressions to help you achieve and surpass your goals.
Your body is a complex machine and like any machine it can function to it’s fullest potential if treated properly. We take a functional-training approach to fitness. Performing exercises that improve your overall strength, stability, and mobility to enhance daily movements.
Approach
In fitness, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Each and every-body is unique, which means each and every session is adapted to the client’s needs. We believe in empowering our clients through motivation, education, and sometimes a little tough love 😉
Whether you’re training for health, sports, or rehabilitation BPM’s skilled Trainers will guide you through safe and effective programs to help you optimize your performance.
Tools
Tracking client progress is very important to us. We know that the scale is not a great indicator of success, so we’ve adopted a method of bioelectrical impedance to test body-composition. This method allows us to regularly check-in to see if we’re making progress. But at the end of the day, how your clothes fit and how you feel is the best indicator of success!
