Scientific Applications of Mobility Training – Vienna Austria, October 19

Ever wanted to know to get the most scientifically-backed results for improving mobility? How do different mobility tools affect structural physiology to allow a new range of motion, and how can you assess and design a highly specific training program for your clients to improve their range of motion as much as possible? I dig deep into the research and bring out this gem of a workshop in beautiful Vienna, Austria. Space is very limited and filling up quick, so join me post-Oktoberfest for some learning.

Other Stuff to Check Out

Dr. Lisa Lewis on the Fitness Devil Podcast

It’s not uncommon for fitness professionals to need some help improving their motivational techniques, understanding behavioural issues from themselves of their clients, and other big psychological workplace elements that can have a big impact on their ability to train and reach their clients. That’s why I’m happy Dr. Lisa is putting out more and more accessible content for fitness pros, and this podcast is a great example.

Side note: She’s also doing a 3-hour “pre-conference” at the Melbourne Even More Complete Shoulder & Hip Blueprint workshop, so if you’re around and want to hear her drop awesomeness in person, register for that sucker.

 

How to Get Clients While Working in a Commercial Gym – Tony Gentilcore

Yep. Pretty much every trainer SHOULD spend the first few years or more of their career working in a commercial gym. I’m a bit biased as I spent 13 years in one, but the growth you see from that and the structure can be something you take with you for the rest of your career.

 

Subscapularis 101 – Eric Cressey

Who knew you could dig deep into a single muscle of the rotator cuff for 6 minutes? Eric did. Check out this short and info-packed video.
