Strength Rehabilitation Institute Online
726 Industrial Avenue Ottawa, ON, Canada

Lockdown? No worries. Since COVID started we have been working with clients virtually and maintaining good exercise habits. Along with very needed mobility and not letting those little aches or pains crop up. And we can probably use stuff you already have in your home. Even bodyweight movements modified can provide a very effective workout no matter your skill or ability level. Supervision is done daily as well. If you're sick and tired of going back and forth to the gym only to have it shut down again let me know!

Great sunny day today in the studio. Winter loved the sunbeam while my client worked on her gait cycles.

Okay so things with COVID have been...different. As it has with most people. In the beginning, you're trying to survive. As a self-employed person, everything is at risk. My gym closed. I had to pivot almost immediately into online work. Thankfully my clients value my skill enough that many of them transitioned through a tough time and we made a go of it - together. I will be forever grateful for that. I home schooled my kids. I thankfully got along with my partner. I tried... to think about creative ways to help people but because all you can think about is where the next grocery bill or rent payment is coming from you tend to stick with what you know. Six months in, gyms reopen. Great. But I still have two small kids and have to consider the risk to myself and others. So I go back into the gym one day a week, and within six weeks that is over thanks to lockdown #2. Okay folks. It's time. Time to embrace reality the way that it is. And give up the old paradigm. I've invested a lot of time and money so that I can create an enviroment where either virtually or in person I can still help people, and my twenty years of experience and knowledge hasn't changed. So if you want to experience one on one coaching at the best level, come on board. After the holiday season in 2021, prepare to go to the next level and experience pain free living with a guide who is dedicated to giving you tools and resources that actually make sense and work. That you can apply without fear of making yourself worse. That take into account the fact you work from home, and have three kids, and have a real life. Ready for it? Give me a like and come along for the ride. 2021 is going to be like nothing you've ever seen before from the Institute. I promise.

Home workout time! So easy even kids can do it. BW Squats Push ups V sits... Reverse Lunges Band rows Jacks (kids taught me that one) Only equipment needed was one resistance band for pulling movements. There's a ton you can do with only bodyweight starting with simple isometrics standing up if getting down is an issue. I'll be posting more workouts in the coming weeks!

Hi everyone! I'm super excited to finally have this done thanks to my amazing girlfriend Chelsea. My new web site is up and running, and allows me full online programming and access so that I can now train people virtually anywhere in the world. Please check it out and let me know what you think. If you are somewhere else, I can finally offer my services to you virtually, with a base cost of $99 per month if you choose the hands off option. Feel free to contact me through t...his page or the web site. I'm very excited to have this up and running, and I look forward to working with you! www.strengthrehabonline.com

Adding some workouts in Trainerize while learning the ropes. This program is amazing! With videos, it is easy to follow along and make sure you have proper form. Custom programs make a difference for your rehab. Contact me today if you are interested.

I've been mostly in hibernation over the past couple of months due to COVID-19. Still servicing clients virtually on a weekly basis. Things have definitely changed, and I will be changing with them. I'm excited to announce a new partnership with Trainerize and also will be revamping my web site and services. Please stay tuned over the next week! If any of you are interested in virtual offerings done in the comfort of your home, let me know if you want to be part of my initial test team.

Good morning everyone! I hope that you are all staying home, staying safe and are well. This is an unprecedented time for our community and as a result many of us need to adjust. My business is no different, as the gym where I see people one on one is closed until further notice. I’m hoping it will only be 4-6 weeks but we really have no idea when things will return to normal. ... Therefore I’m happy to announce that I am launching the ability to do virtual sessions online. This is a great way to stay connected, make sure you have someone checking into your movement, and the great thing is that it doesn’t require any travel just an internet video connection. You will still receive the same service and attention to detail and skill I’ve built over my 20 years in the business. Also, this will give those of you who are from elsewhere the ability to finally work with me directly! I would be very excited to temporarily or virtually take on any of you who want even just one session to tweak things or adjust/modify what you are already doing. As always, I am at your service. Please feel free to contact me with any questions here or via email at [email protected] or through my web site. I look forward to working with you!

Happy couple at top of a mountain! Daniel and Leslie have been working hard over the past year with me (and on their own) to be able to summit two peaks in the White Mountains - in the same weekend. Their hard work paid off on the weekend with summit success! Last year they tried and had to stop before the top, but this year they managed to work hard and get there. Both are also in what they call the best shape they can remember and are killing times on their bikes while being pain free. They can do the Lusk trail 3 times in a row without batting an eye. So grateful to be a part of their journey towards summiting every peak over the next five years!

My weekly article this week focuses on things the fitness industry doesn't want you to know - so that they can sell you more useless programs, supplements and items.

Yet another study shows that fasted cardio doesn't make a significant difference. But here's my stance - if it motivates you more to do it fasted go right ahead. The difference comes from consistency and doing it, not from if you're fasted or not. I guess that's my way of saying you do you. Don't demonize one method over the other. #cardio #fitness #workout #gym #fit #motivation #training #bodybuilding #fitnessaddict #exercise #health #fitnessmotivation #gymlife #getfit #lifestyle #healthy #fitspo #fitnessmodel #fitfam #strong #train #instagood #eatclean #diet #instafit #muscle #abs #determination #active #cleaneating

Listened to this podcast today and anyone who wants some inspiration needs to. Mike McCastle set a world record for the most pull-ups in 24 hours - over 5800! But that's not the most amazing part. He tried the first time, failed (at only 3100!) and put himself into the hospital, then decided he didn't want to let people down and did it AGAIN and broke the record. And he also did it wearing a 30 pound backpack on his back even though he didn't need to in order to represen...t the load that veterans with mental illness face. Resiliency and the ability to push through insane amounts of adversity are things we all need more of sometime. I myself went through a crazy amount of adversity in November to February. What can you do to overcome obstacles?
