Foundation Training

When I first came across FT it was the original 12 Minute Workout with Dr. Goodman and two trainees on YouTube. It was free, incredible instruction, and it made me feel better almost immediately. Then a few years later, I had the great fortune to come across a brand new DVD set in a thrift store- score!! And then, finding out from @foundationtraining’s instagram page they put together a free app- I couldn’t have downloaded it fast enough!! I used the free “Community” content for quite some time, but began wanting to access all the other inaccessible features of the app exclusive to subscribers. That’s when I did myself the priceless favor of subscribing yearly. I will never go back!! I have abused my body, playing hard in 49 years, with lots of injuries. Without a doubt, the amount of information that Dr. Goodman, Coach Salas, ALL of the fantastic trainers, and all the FT Collaborators have made understandable, and relate able, for making bodily restoration attainable, I will be forever a student. In fact, my two year plan is to take a certification course!! I am giving Five Stars because my life is better with the FT philosophy and app! There is a ton of invaluable information within the app, and it takes time to discover it all (which I have not even come close to yet!), but when you have a lifetime to enjoy healthy body freedom, one morning and one evening at a time, that is the perfect timeline routine!! The last thing I would encourage anyone to do, download the free app, get familiar, then do yourself the most kind favor you can, and subscribe yearly. What you gain back in pain-free freedom to move, for less than $14 a month is outrageous!!!

I cannot recommend this app enough. It saved me from the low back and hip pain that prematurely ended my career. After two surgeries, I’d come to the conclusion that I had to take control of my own recovery. I was on a pelaton for 60-90 minutes a day. Working out with great results but no amount of PT and stretching could fix my limited range of motion. I was merely working around it. Finding foundation training was the missing piece to beating the pain. To the enhanced level of control and feel within my own body. My balance is better. My posture is better. My pain is a thing of the past. I’m back to work, my life is light years better thanks to foundation training. Dr Goodman I sincerely thank you.

Dr Goodman and Jesse Salas go above and beyond to teach Dr Goodman’s method of Foundation Training. I’ve never seen such a comprehensive approach to not only building strength through poses and movement, but correcting and healing through them! They’re both amazing teachers. My husband has been faithfully doing Foundation Training for 10 months now. After 6 months, his pain from a sprained back was gone, his flexibility is massively improved, he is getting more wattage on his bike rides, feeling zero discomfort in a vehicle when sitting for long periods, his balance is even better than before and he’s always surfed and rides a skateboard. As a personal trainer myself, I have seen huge improvements in my own hinge mechanics when deadlifting and have been able to utilize FT spinal decompression to release tension and connect with my body before a workout better than with any other technique I’ve used before. Foundation Training is a no-brainer. Yes, it takes work and dedication, but what are you waiting for? Pain free movement awaits you!
