Corrective Exercise
What is it?
Corrective Exercise is a low-impact, individualized approach to fitness focused on improving how your body moves. Sessions combine targeted mobility, stretching, and strengthening to address movement imbalances, improve posture, and help you move with greater comfort and confidence.
Your trainer will identify areas that may be overactive, tight, underactive, or lacking strength and build exercises around your specific needs. Whether you’re getting back to exercise after an injury, dealing with long-term movement patterns, or simply want to move better and feel stronger, each session is tailored to meet you where you are.
Corrective Exercise works best as a consistent practice rather than a quick fix, so regular sessions are recommended for building lasting movement habits.
Please come dressed appropriately for exercise.

What to Expect
Each session is tailored to what your body needs that day and may include a combination of mobility work, stretching, foam rolling, and targeted exercises.
You may work through “brain games” and muscle-activation exercises designed to help your body better recognize and coordinate specific movements, along with basic functional movements, core work, balance, stability, and strength exercises.
Your trainer will guide you through each movement, making adjustments as needed and focusing on quality over intensity. The goal isn’t to exhaust you—it’s to help you move better, build a stronger foundation, and become more confident in how your body works.
What is the difference between Corrective Exercise and Personal Training?
Corrective Exercise focuses primarily on improving how your body moves—addressing mobility, stability, posture, muscle imbalances, and movement patterns through lower-intensity, targeted exercises.
Personal Training takes that foundation and builds on it with more strength, conditioning, functional movement, and progressive challenges.
Both are personalized to you; the biggest difference is the primary goal and intensity of the session.
