Functional Movement Screen (FMS): Move Better, Train Smarter

Developed by movement expert Gray Cook, the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is your body’s blueprint. Think of it as your fitness “check engine light” — revealing the areas that need attention to keep you moving well and performing your best.

The FMS includes seven key movement patterns that help our team design a program that meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. Here’s what we assess — and why it matters:

1. Deep Squat – Tests hip, knee, and ankle mobility along with core stability.
   Why it matters: If you’re a mom chasing kids, an athlete working on strength, or just someone who wants to move better — addressing mobility gaps here unlocks better movement in everything you do.
2. Hurdle Step – Evaluates balance, stability, and hip control.
   Why it matters: Perfect for runners, athletes, or anyone working on single-leg strength and balance.
3. Inline Lunge – Assesses hip mobility, core control, and overall stability.
   Why it matters: If lunges feel unstable, we’ll develop drills to strengthen your core and improve joint control.
4. Shoulder Mobility – Reveals upper-body flexibility and shoulder health.
   Why it matters: If tight shoulders are limiting your boxing class or making lifting feel stiff, we’ll give you the tools to fix it.
5. Active Straight-Leg Raise – Tests hamstring flexibility and hip mobility.
   Why it matters: Whether you’re working on your deadlift, yoga practice, or golf swing — improved flexibility here means better movement overall.
6. Trunk Stability Push-Up – A true test of core strength and total-body control.
   Why it matters: Whether you’re trying to improve your Jiu-Jitsu guard game or build a stronger core, this test shows us what needs to be strengthened.
7. Rotary Stability – Evaluates core coordination and movement control.
   Why it matters: Athletes, parents lifting kids, or anyone looking to move better will benefit from improved core control.

With your FMS results in hand, we’ll create a program that targets exactly what your body needs to move stronger, feel better, and perform at your best.

InBody 770 Analysis: Real Data for Real Results

The InBody 770 goes far beyond a standard scale — it’s a powerful tool that reveals what’s happening inside your body so we can tailor your training with precision.

Here’s what we measure — and how it fuels your results:

• Skeletal Muscle Mass – Identifies how much muscle you have and where you carry it.
  Why it matters: Knowing this helps us design a strength plan that’s targeted and effective.
• Body Fat Percentage – Reveals the balance of muscle and fat in your body.
  Why it matters: This metric helps us shape your program to focus on fat loss, muscle gain, or improved body composition.
• Visceral Fat Area – Measures fat around vital organs.
  Why it matters: High visceral fat is linked to long-term health risks, so this data informs lifestyle changes and cardio programming.
• Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – Shows how many calories you burn at rest.
  Why it matters: With this number, we can guide your nutrition and recovery strategies for optimal results.
• Segmental Lean Analysis – Breaks down muscle balance across your body.
  Why it matters: Balanced strength is key for injury prevention and peak performance — whether you’re in the gym, on the field, or chasing your kids.
