Personal Training
Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast looking to develop in your sport, return to your sport after injury, build your overall strength and fitness, or just become more comfortable and confident in the gym, MFC trainers will help you get there.
Our Philosophy
At the MFC, the foundations of our personal training programming are EDUCATION and SELF-EFFICACY. Clients can expect to understand the purpose and goals of every aspect of programming, and will grow in their confidence both in the gym and in their sport.
Our trainers use their extensive experience in sports performance, physical therapy, and outdoor recreation to tailor clients' programming to help them reach their goals and maximize performance, whether they are a long-time athlete working to stay active on the mountain, a youth athlete heading into sports season, or a new gym member looking to improve general fitness or lose weight. MFC trainers are dedicated to not only coaching fitness, but teaching it, ensuring that clients become confident in their strength and skills, develop resistance and resilience to injury, and improving overall well-being.
YOU achieving YOUR GOALS is how we measure our SUCCESS!
Custom Client Programming
ALL personal training clients will have fully custom programming intended to target personal goals and needs using multiple assessment strategies and the OPT model of programming.
Upon signing up for personal training with an MFC trainer, new clients will be taken through a series of assessments designed to better understand the client and their lifestyle, goals and needs. The 7-point functional movement screening help coaches recognize strengths, imbalances, and deficiencies in movement patterns, while verbal questionnaires and conversations help trainers identify specific goals, areas of concern, medical and injury history, lifestyle factors, hobbies and sports, as well as other topics that may influence programming.
Next, the trainer will begin construction a program based on the assessments. Personal training programming is designed to be adaptive, following the NASM Optimal Performance Model (OPT), which takes clients through 4-8 week phases of exercise designed to build upon one another to elicit gains in all areas, from mobility and stability to muscular ensurance and maximal strength and power, depending on the needs and goals of the client. Within this model is unlimited potential for customization, allowing trainers to select the most appropriate exercises to produce the desired results and to adapt programming to gains, injury, or new goals. Cardiovascular conditioning, return-to-performance training, athletic skill development, plyometric and power training, and general strength training can all be included in OPT model programming.
