Event for all Attendees
Functional Movement
Systems: Applying the
Model to Real Life
Examples
with Gray Cook
Gray Cook will conduct a first of
its kind seminar based on his years of work with
the Functional Movement Screen (FMS). He will
cover the age spectrum of fitness clients, post
rehab clients, and athletes of all levels. Gray will
discuss the logical code of movement that all
exercising populations share. Although different
clients have a variety of programming needs, they
all require a baseline movement map to ensure
safety and maximize results. A properly executed
FMS provides a unique perspective and its
inventor will show you how to take the basic
technology to the next level.

Understanding and Implementing Corrective
Movement Strategies
It seems the use of corrective exercise has become a very large part
of many exercise professionals’ programming. In this session Lee
will attempt to define corrective exercise as well as provide insight
on whether they are needed for certain individuals. Implementing
corrective strategies should be part of a systematic process where
it allows the individuals to improve their fundamental movements,
strength, power and overall performance. Lee will discuss how to
properly incorporate corrective strategies into the exercise protocol.
Specific corrective exercises will be introduced to demonstrate the
logical approach that should be utilized when incorporating these
strategies into your programming.

The Movement Code
Gray will condense 15 years of functional movement science into
75 minutes and discuss the concept of the movement code. This
basic code suggests that we should follow 10 principles of movement
for exercise programming. These principles apply to nearly all clients
and athletes because they are based on the movement learning
platform and not just anatomy. This platform provides the foundation
for our more complex and specialized activities. Gray credits this code
for his success and the success of the FMS and he wants to share it
with you.

With emerging insights into integrated biomechanics and connective

limitations and reveal a new way of looking at exercise execution –
variability. In this lecture and hands on workshop, Michol will discuss

Ever since weightlifting went from being demonized as both bad for
the body and leading to moral laxity to “the answer to all questions,”
those of us in the field (or the weight room) have been assaulted with
wave after wave of the Answer. It’s a simple question, really: “What
is the role of the strength coach?” The answer is obvious: it is to
make people stronger! Ah, but what is the impact? Now, this is the
real question, the important question. When we actually use a tool to
figure this out and apply it to our training, an amazing clarity emerges
into our training!

1. Fascial Fitness
What does research tell us about how to train the fascial system?
What’s actually happening under the foam roller? What are fascia’s
responses to training? How does fascia remodel in response to
latest findings about the ‘Cinderella’ of body tissues in the musculo-
skeletal system: the fascial network. When we train the muscles and
coordination, we are also training the fascia, so we may as well be
conscious about how it responds and becomes more resilient and
healthy. (Lecture Only)
2. Anatomy Trains and Training
The Anatomy Trains are Myofascial Meridians, kinetic chains through
the fascial fabric. These ‘tracks’ have meaning in training and the
development of balanced and adaptable stability. Come learn about
the different properties and meaning in the Front Line, Back Line,
Lateral Line, Spiral Line, Lines through the shoulders, and the core
Deep Front Line, and how to see and work with them in training.

Evolve or Die: Five Trends that will
Define Your Career
Chaos means opportunity if you’re prepared. The fitness industry
is changing at a faster rate now than it has during the past 30
years opening up new business opportunities for the trainer who is
prepared. Emerging out of this turmoil are five trends that will define
your career during the next decade. Understand these trends and
then prepare yourself to take advantage of them and you can have
a tremendous advantage over those still locked into the business
concepts from the last century. Evolve or die is your motto for the
next decade, but you must be prepared to take advantage of the
opportunities that will be presenting themselves.

Female Athletes
In the fitness industry we currently use functional training on

it’s time to zero-in on making functional training choices that keep
female athletes on a direct path toward exponential gains, high-level
performance and, ultimately, results. This presentation will give you
the “skinny” on applying more effective progressions for female
athletes through real-life, targeted examples that will immediately

While there are few that would argue that evaluating and training

few that can identify and agree on common definitions, methods,
or stereotypes of a “strong core”. This presentation will review
some of the contemporary biomechanical, neurodevelopmental, and
neuromuscular views of what the core can mean. The goal will be to
reconcile best-practice in addressing the impact on training the core

three distinct categories based on the level/needs of the athlete.
Underpinning research will be discussed in addition to very specific

client with strategies to allow the foot and ankle complex, hip, and

efficient, economical, and successful movement patterns. Learn how

Dominate Your Space – A Spherical
Model of Training
An athlete’s ability to move and dominate their space can be
described using a Spherical Model. An individual’s functional sphere
is determined by the size of that space in which they move
(3D Flexibility/Mobility), the control of movement within that
space (3D Stability/Balance), the overall integrity of the sphere
(3D Strength/Power). Great athletes have learned to master these
fundamentals to dominate their space and exploit their environment.
A coordinated approach to the development of these components
must be implemented in order to perform at a high level and lead
a healthy life. Todd will define the Spherical Model of Training,
Movements such as squatting, lunging, pivoting, leaping, jumping,
hopping, lifting and rowing will be 3 dimensionalized in order to
create an adaptable and resilient sphere.

When it comes to fatigue, many of your clients are “surviving”

people bring to their doctors. Your client can’t benefit from your
