TRAINING SMART

My name is Ethan Gendron, and my personal training philosophy is simple: we must move well first. There is a tremendous difference between movement volume and movement quality. Movement volume describes things like how far you walked, how many sets you did, how often you mow the lawn, and so on. Movement quality on the other hand describes things like: How well can you squat and to what depth? How well can you balance on one leg? Or how well can you do push and pull movements? One is a quantitative metric, while the other is a qualitative metric. I am more concerned with the latter.

We need to make sure that we have a strong foundation by having sound biomechanics to both prevent injury and optimize performance. Professional athletes are most commonly known to undergo extensive strength and conditioning programs for the purpose of injury prevention. While everyone may not consider themselves an “athlete”, we should all train like one. The sport we all play is called “life", and we need to be prepared to take on the movement challenges it throws at us.

As a Level 2 W.I.T.S. Certified Personal Trainer, Spinning Instructor, and IRONMAN Triathlete, I challenge you to rethink your limits. My defining principle is bridging theory with practicality to give you the best practices to safely reach your goals at an affordable price.
