The Movement Mechanics

25+ years in the making

 

The passion for training athletes and clients started in the Fall of 1996 when I first started training high school track athletes. Since then, I have developed a system of assessment & training that improves the way clients move and perform.

It has achieved amazing results with thousands of clients of all ages and abilities.

My background is in competing and coaching track & field at every level- from youth to professional. My time coaching was spent at the NCAA Division I level as a track coach and strength & conditioning coach. I have spent my career helping people move better, run faster, throw farther, and jump higher. 

​

In the private sector, I worked with many action sports athletes to maximize their potential in their disciplines. BMX, Ninja Warrior, skateboarding, triathlon, strength sports, surfing and more have improved their performance in their sports,

The philosophy at Movement Mechanics is High Performance Human Improvement. This isn't training just to look good. This is training to perform at your best. Achieving aesthetics is always the icing on the cake! 

​

Our Unique Niche

​

For the last 20 years, my staff and I have specialized in working with clients who suffer with back, knee, and shoulder pain and are stuck, frustrated and looking for a better way to find relief.

 

We regularly work with clients with sciatica and many other ailments and have a great track record with improving those situations. We can't cure or fix every ailment, but we want the chance to improve your situation and quality of life. If we can't help you, we use a network of medical professionals and will help find one that can!

Our unique specialty is bridging the gap between physical therapy and being at 100%. Many clients who receive physical therapy finish and are not at 100% of their former selves.  We have worked hard at becoming the experts at bridging that gap. ACL reconstruction, spinal fusion, shoulder surgery and more can benefit from our services post physical therapy. Many say they get to an even better outcome than before they went under the knife!

 

We are the ONLY ones who specialize in this in the Central Valley!

How We Came to Be

In 2004, I opened Foundation Strength & Conditioning in my one car garage in San Diego. From 2008 to 2014, we relocated to Carlsbad and worked with thousands of clients looking to become better versions of themselves in our clinic that included our gym, chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and massage.  We were one of the original "One-Stop-Shops" for performance & wellness.

​In 2014, I sold Foundation Strength and another gym and opened Central Valley Strength in Fresno. We are also now teaching our training system to trainers and athletes around the world.

​

Wether it be  sports performance, training to live with less pain, or weight loss, we can help you without all the gimmicky noise that currently surrounds the fitness industry. We use science-backed, and real world tested methods to achieve results that our clients didn't think were possible.
