"Everything feels better. Training, being back to BJJ, but even just existing and walking around. Not being ashamed of myself. Wearing nicer clothes and not hating the way I look. I feel so alive, which sadly I didn’t for years. And there’s still more work to do. C’mon now.
Let’s f****** go!"
- Jim R , Online Training Program Client
With the help of an Online Training Program, Jim lost 190 lbs. He made a return to training, competing, and winning in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in less than 1 year! And that is just on the mats. He participated in running and cycling events, ditched shopping at DXL, and enjoyed family time at the beach. Listing all the wins we recorded would need it's own dedicated website. A true testament to you get what you put in!

"I want to genuinely thank Dr Saige Gomez for my therapy sessions! It’s been a great experience!
I have had on/off back and pelvic issues throughout my life whereas past PT methods no longer worked for me. It seemed more like a bandaid than fixing the root cause! Once I’ve hit menopause (I’m 56), I’ve gained weight without changing my healthy lifestyle! My exercise routines no longer worked for me. My back and sciatica pain would increase the longer I would stand. I could no longer lift weights at the gym without creating pain in my lower back. I’ve always been an active person. I felt devastated and defeated by my own body’s unwillingness to cooperate! I was out of ideas, so I thought!
Dr Saige took the time to explain the approach and it made complete sense! The wear and tear I put on my body over the years would only worsen if not addressed properly. Dr Saige performed muscle testing to monitor my progress! If I could not perform an exercise, he showed a modified version. The instructions were sent to me after each session via email along with a video so I could be sure I was doing them correctly. Dr Saige addressed any new aches or pains that would arise! His ongoing support helped especially on days I didn’t feel so great.
As of today, I am so much stronger! Although I have a little more ways to go, I’m able to do much more than I did before. I can now lift weights again without aggravating my back! I appreciate Dr Saige teaching me safe techniques how to build muscle! I have noticed my body becoming more toned. It may not seem like a big deal to others but I can now sit crisscross applesauce on the floor with both knees equally down toward the floor rather than sticking up in the air. I’m more flexible which helps in my yoga and qigong routines! I do ache some days but it’s a workout ache, no pain. I always feel pretty good leaving the sessions. I feel my muscles worked in a good way.
I further appreciate the mindful coaching that goes along with healing...I’ve always worked on my limiting beliefs that keep me from being my best self. Dr Saige and I had some mindful therapeutic sessions while doing my exercises which further helped my state of mind!..."

"Whether you're a hobbyist, serious competitive athlete, or just someone trying to get rid of some nagging pain, this place is a diamond in the rough. I've done PT before at other establishments for injuries typical for BJJ practitioners (shoulders, elbows, knees, etc.) I expected somewhat of the same routine... typical strengthening exercises, stretching, band work here and there, and that's it. I was pleasantly surprised at the detailed and individualized care I received. An entire session is dedicated to diagnostics, taking various measurements, explanation of what's going on anatomically, what to expect, Q&A, etc.
I personally worked with Dr. Saige Gomez and he himself is an active MMA fighter with a strong background in both striking and grappling. It was very easy to communicate with him about the discomforts holding me back on the mats. I was given homework after each session. YOU GET OUT WHAT YOU PUT INTO THIS. The homework is where you will make most of your progress and I'm so glad I adhered to them religiously. My original injuries were 99% healed about two-thirds of the way through the program and they are now 100% after finishing. More than half way through the program, I had aggravated something else during BJJ practice. Dr. Saige worked with me on that immediately at my next session and even with a short amount of time spent on the new injury, I've regained the major functions in that area and am practically pain free during my practices.
The sessions themselves were very thorough. I had one session per week. Before every session Dr. Saige asked me how I felt since the previous session, if I noticed any increase/decrease in performance, pain, strength, flexibility, etc. He would then check the various measurements for ranges of motion, "sticking" points in the body, tightness in different areas, etc. He kept track of my progress throughout the weeks and was able to adjust the session and homework based on the data and my feedback. I doubted some of the exercises at first because I was unfamiliar with them. But they did wonders in setting my body right. Some may seem strange but after Dr. Saige explained to science behind them, it made complete sense. After feeling the effects I was amazed and how much further along their practice was compared to mainstream PT. The work was done to address the root of the problem and in a way that traditional PT does not. TRUST THE PROCESS!..."
