At Kinetikos, the mission is simple; help people to achieve optimal functioning through exercise. Whether your goal is injury prevention or recovery, general fitness, promoting positive mental health, enhancing performance or a combination of each, the targeted exercise prescription and guidance at Kinetikos will help you to reach your potential. Like any journey, the process determines the outcome and it's this emphasis on process that ultimately leads to success. Here at Kinetikos, we follow a 3-stage progression system to get you to your goal in the most effective way possible.

Stage 1: BASE

Identify any physical dysfunction that cases pain, limits progress, and hinders performance.

Apply corrective exercises to re-establish proper mobility, static stability and the fundamental motor patterning that makes up the foundation of pain-free, efficient movement.

Stage 2: Body

Progress to dynamic stabilization and functional strengthening of refined movement patterns.

Stage 3: Peak

Build the strength, power, and endurance to prevent future injury, optimize functionality and enhance performance.
