If you are over the age of 55, there is a strong chance you have a history of injuries preventing you from exercising the way you once did. And yet, you know if you don’t do something to get back in shape soon, you may never be able to. Here at Longo Physical Therapy and Personal Training, we know exactly where you are coming from. We work hard to determine what you can and cannot do, customize your workouts to fit your fitness level and accommodate your injury history. This unique blend of Personal Training with Physical Therapy will leave you feeling like it isn’t too late to get this body of yours back in shape and pain free.
A Unique Blend of Exercise and Nutrition
Our programs are unique to your needs and limitations. Our job is to pull from a pool of exercises that will help you achieve your fitness goals and prevent further injury. If needed, we will replace traditional forms of exercise for therapeutic exercise to keep you training.
Weight Loss: First, we want to say, “You can do this.” We’ve seen countless success stories of people who’ve decided to take back their life. Weight loss isn’t just about counting calories, it’s about seeing food differently. Instead of living to eat, we shift and start eating to live. Small incremental habits over time of how, when and why we eat are implemented along with moving. The process becomes empowering as we move toward a healthy lifestyle.

By attacking these four distinct areas, we can improve your physical health which in turn will improve your emotional and psychological health.
Many Personal Training Programs to Serve You!
Our programs follow simple principles that allow you to optimize workouts without causing injury to your body. We incorporate all the components of fitness together to create a simple yet effective workout. When you meet with your trainer for the first time, he will go over some stretching exercises you’ll be asked to do every morning. Depending upon your program and your schedule, you will be meeting with your trainer two to three times a week.
What makes our workouts Pop!
If you are over 55, you know you can’t work out the way you once did and so do we. That is why Brett Longo developed a formula that absolutely works. Here are the items everyone over 55 should incorporate into their workout plan:
Corecentric – We start with the idea that if your core is strong, you can avoid injury to your spine and extremities. Our winning formula calls for a core exercise with every circuit you perform.
Mini Circuit Training – Depending upon your desired results and fitness level, you may be performing 2-3 exercises per Circuit. By moving from one exercise to the next, you can keep your workout pace up and while giving your muscles the rest they need.
Exercising slow and deliberate (No high impact for these bodies). We know our cartilage, ligaments, tendons and muscles are losing water content with age, so we choose not to put your body at risk by having you do high impact training. Instead, we ask that you slow down your resistance training for two reasons; 1) it prevents injury to the joints and 2) it holds you muscle under tension longer, so you don’t have to lift as heavy of weights. This is known as “time under tension” and with a slow and deliberate approach you are going to see real results with less risk of injury.
Fast paced – Although you will be “slow and deliberate” with your sets, you will also be asked to move from one exercise in the circuit to the next without rest. This creates a High Intensity Interval Training workout (HIIT for short). The benefits of performing a HIIT program include improving cardiovascular endurance, and increasing fat burning metabolism for up to 24 hours post workout. Now who doesn’t want to metabolize fat for 24 hours after you’ve worked out.
Split Routines – Our routines are split into three workouts per week. 1)Upper Body Push, 2)Lower Body, and 3)Upper Body pull.
Workout Variation – We have over 600 exercises to pull from so you won’t be repeating the same routines. This in essence “shocks” your body into gaining strength faster and more efficiently.
Accommodative Resistance Training – This type of training involves stretch cords or bands and has been proven to reduce chance for injury to your joints. All this means is that when you move your joint through the range of motion, the band or cord increases in resistance. As the joint moves through the range of motion, it becomes less vulnerable to injury. So, accommodative resistance training is the best way to lessen the chance of injury while developing strength.
We Cater to ALL Fitness Levels
Whether you are an Olympic Athlete or a beginner, we can train you (actually we like beginners because they are eager to learn). There are two heartfelt attitudes we ask that you show up with 1) A willingness to learn and 2) and willingness to work. If you come with those two heart attitudes, you will see your body transform.
