PHILOSOPHY
As personal trainers, we endeavor to educate our clients to see the movement of their bodies as a meditation. We endeavor to show how through exercise we can work to dissolve the limitations and negative stresses of the mind. At Rip City, people of all ages and fitness levels develop a more thorough understanding of themselves and how their unique bodies work. Through this heightened awareness they are able to cast light on the many shades of doubt that have kept them from the body of their dreams.
Our method focuses on the use of body weight as a primary means of resistance. Therefore, the amount of external weights and exercise machines are limited in our programming. Our aim is to increase the strength-to-body weight ratio of our clients. If strength is developed along with coordination and balance and unnecessary body weight is lost, we will begin to feel lighter and freer in our movements like we were as children. It also, makes our minds sharper and more productive in the midst of our busy and often chaotic lives.
We offer one-on-one and small group training sessions dedicated to enhancing the fitness and well being of clients who desire to lead an extraordinary life of free movement. We encourage our clients to approach exercise as a fun and exciting way of seeing the lines between body and mind blur, the impossible becoming the possible, and recognizing their individual expression as being a miracle of dynamic form. Every session at Rip City Fitness is a challenging experience. We believe that hard work and challenge force our clients to focus their minds on the task at hand and ultimately get the results they desire.
The programs at Rip City Fitness incorporate a variety of physical training modalities to develop:
Aerobic Endurance
Strength
Stamina
Flexibility
Speed
Power
Agility
Coordination
Accuracy
Balance
