Foundation Personalized Fitness provides more than just personalized workouts, designed for where each person is at individually. We utilize specialized equipment to ensure that everyone can succeed no matter their experience level, strength level, skill level, or mobility level.
Here are some of the tools we employ:
This allows for people with limited shoulder mobility to perform back and front squats with a bar that sits securely on their shoulders and grip handles in the front.
Often incorrectly called the “Women’s Bar”, which is just absurdly incorrect and sexist. There are a whole lot of incredibly strong women out there so let’s get the name right. Measured in kilograms the practice bar is approximately 12 lbs lighter than a traditional barbell. This allows for people who are just starting out in training to learn the proper form and movement patterns with a lighter, more manageable barbell. Hence, Practice Bar.
These tend to be used in conjunction with the practice bar in order to allow the barbell to be the correct height off the ground for exercises like deadlift or cleans, while minimizing the weight being lifted. As with the practice bar, this allows for those just starting out to be able to practice proper form with more manageable weight.
This is another great tool to assist people who have limited range of motion or mobility issues still lift weights. The hexbar can be loaded light or heavy depending on the person’s strength level, but the handles are to the side and elevated in order to assist those with mobility issues or range of motion issues in their shoulders or hips.
Used during the assessment to identify tight or weakened muscle groups, as well as before, during or after training sessions to manage mobility issues, tight muscles, and resolving joint and muscle pain.
