Get screened at Fitcorp

Functional Movement: What's in it for me?
Contributed by Sam Berry- Fitcorp Personal Training Director

Ever driven your car with your one tire 10-15 psi less than the rest? What happens? Car shakes at higher speeds, lower gas mileage but more importantly it increases the risk of having to bring it to the shop for repairs! 

Same goes for our bodies. If we don’t have balance or symmetry between our left and right sides of our body, we will likely not be able to workout as efficiently, fatigue more quickly and more importantly hurry the process of injury and possibly surgery!  

To find out what your baseline is to recognize what left/right imbalances you may or may not have, it’s prudent to get screened. By having a qualified trainer conduct a brief Functional Movement Screening (FMS,) you and the trainer will be able to pin point your body’s weakest link. This will allow for insightful, systematic exercise programming versus just guessing what you think you need or what you’ve heard helps other people.

This free screening takes 10-15 minutes and can get you a higher return on investment with your training with less time taken doing your workouts!
