Initial Commitment: All Back Fitness & Performance students begin with a three-month onboarding and coaching block. After completing the initial three-month coaching period, students may continue with either one or two private instructional sessions per month.

Education Is Part of Performance
Preventing unnecessary setbacks requires more than becoming stronger.
Students should understand how training decisions influence adaptation and spinal loading so they can become increasingly capable of making intelligent decisions themselves.
Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance by Professor Stuart McGill serves as required companion reading for Pathway #3 and provides the conceptual foundation for many of the training principles discussed throughout the coaching process.
