Training programs designed by the FORCE team are tailored to your individual needs, goals, circumstances and existing level of fitness. We do not believe in a "cookie cutter" approach. Furthermore, unlike other area Cincinnati personal training professionals, we pride ourselves not only on making you look better, but also on making you FEEL & PERFORM BETTER. 

In fact, we don't feel one can look their best until they first function properly. We are able to meet this objective by staying up-to-date on the latest corrective exercise techniques, and we regularly consult with other professionals including sports medicine physicians, physical therapists, and chiropractors...we are not arrogant enough to think we know it all! We continually try to increase our knowledge base, especially when it comes to dealing with clients who have injury concerns and muscular dysfunction. 

Our Program is the Most Comprehensive in the Area & Consists of 7 Components

1. Assessment and Evaluation

At FORCE, we feel a proper evaluation and assessment is essential in order for our clients to reach their goals. As we like to say, "If you're not assessing, you're just guessing!" Each client will undergo a thorough assessment and evaluation of the following:

  • Specific Training Goals: different training goals call for different types of training methods and parameters. We go to great lengths to discuss with each of our clients what they are hoping to achieve through their training. This ensures the programming we implement gives them the best chance to succeed. The FORCE team does not believe in a one size fits all approach to training. For example, a program designed for someone interested in maximizing muscular strength will differ greatly from a program designed to maximize loss of body fat.
  • Cosmetic/Aesthetic Indicators: these include percentage of body fat and anthropometric/girth measurements. 
  • Performance Indicators: these include muscular strength, cardiovascular/metabolic capacity, and core stamina.
  • Functional Movement Screen: while cosmetic and performance indicators are commonly measured by most personal fitness trainers, most do not assess musculoskeletal health. However, the Cincinnati personal training professionals at FORCE insist each new client go through a thorough functional movement screen and joint by joint assessment to identify muscular weakness, imbalance, and dysfunction. This helps our trainers prescribe appropriate exercises, and, more importantly, helps our trainers know what exercises to avoid.

2. Dynamic Flexibility, Mobility, & Pre-habilitation Training

This component of the program addresses any concerns which were identified in the musculoskeletal assessment discussed above, and consists of a dozen or so drills which are completed at the beginning of a client's workout. These drills prepare the body for the more intense work which will occur later in the workout by raising body temperature, improving joint range of motion, and "jump starting" the central nervous system. This phase of the workout accomplishes much more than the standard "5:00 on the treadmill" warm-up seen in most gyms.

3. Strength/Power Training (SPT) & Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT)

The strength/power training (SPT) component of the program focuses on increasing the amount of FORCE and tension a
