The MyoFitness Philosophy

At MyoFitness, Personal Training means careful attention to each of the four components of fitness: nutrition, weight training, cardiovascular training, and stretching/flexibility training.

Unlike companies that focus exclusively on one aspect of fitness, MyoFitness works with the whole person to enhance every part of life, both at work and at play.

Myofitness offers many training options but we focus on Functional Training, using a variety of techniques and equipment to improve total body fitness.

  • Create a sound fitness foundation
    Functional training creates a strong foundation on which to build, starting low and moving on to heavier weights, more sets, more exercises and more intensity as time goes on. This is crucial aspect of training, because if you start off using too much weight, doing too many sets or exercises, or tackling a high intensity routine on a weak foundation you will be more prone to muscle imbalances and overuse injuries. This type of training applies to everything we do, from bending and twisting while unloading the dish washer to playing major league sports.
  • Prevent injuries and build to optimum performance
    Building a strong foundation through Functional Training prevents muscle imbalances and makes us perform at the optimum level. Our tendons, ligaments, joints and muscles have thousands of receptors and when we try to lift heavy weights, cut fast, jump high and sprint our central nervous system (CNS) sends impulses to all of these receptors. If the CNS receives any negative feedback from these receptors, it puts a governor on the corresponding muscle groups and slows the system down to avoid injury.
  • Workouts that maximize the way our muscles work
    Functional Training uses a variety of exercises to achieve maximum results. This type of workout is far superior to than just using stationary weight equipment at a gym. Our muscles work five different ways; agonists, antagonists, synergists, stabilizers and neutralizers. Using only weight machines does not allow our muscles to work properly and can lead to muscle imbalances and overuse injuries. Functional Training mimics the way our bodies are designed to work: on multiple planes, in multiple directions, and at different speeds all at the same time.
  • Build core strength and balance
    Whether you're an accomplished athlete or just starting to think about getting into shape, a sound foundation of core strength and balance are the keys to success.Think about this: when you are pushing a lawnmower, vacuum cleaner, a stroller, or a wagon you don’t have any type of support behind you for leverage or stability. You have to rely on your core strength and balance to do the work, and steadily increasing core strength and balance is exactly what Functional Training does for you.
