Science-Based Personal Training

The fitness industry is becoming more and more popular as years go by. Anyone who is in shape and has a social media presence can leverage their platform to market themselves as a “personal trainer”, often coining terms like “science-based" to support their claims. They might say, for example, "based on all of the signs, this is the best exercise because... "

Our experts at Strata approach their profession from the perspective of exercise specialists and, as such, adhere to a scientific method:

sci·en·tif·ic meth·od

(noun)

A method of procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.

This is one of the reasons why much of the information we at Strata share may conflict

with popular trends in fitness. The exercises we create for clients are truly customized

based off of individual physiology and biomechanics, so may seem unorthodox to

someone who is unfamiliar with the process.

We are committed to employing a scientific method to exercise because we recognize

that it is nearly impossible to make rigid claims about the dynamic human body given

each of us is constantly changing. As a result, tailored exercise is essential

in helping each client achieve their goals, avoid injury, and ultimately enjoy the

benefits of a mobile life for as long as humanly possible.
