What to Expect — From Day One to Your Strongest Self
We meet you where you are and guide you forward—step-by-step, with a plan that fits your life.
Step 1: Intake Form
Before we start, we have you fill out our intake form to get a better picture of where you are at with your health and fitness, where you have been as far as exercise and injury history, where you want to go with your fitness journey and why that's important to you.
Step 2: The Assessment
We start with a movement assessment to make sure your technique is correct with the main movements we will be doing and identify any specific strength or range of motion limitations.
Step 3: Create a plan.
Based on the assessment we set up a general exercise plan and corrective exercise plan based on your specific limitations so you can get started on your fitness journey with less risk of flaring up old injuries. And we will set a schedule for how often we work together. Whether it's multiple times a week or once a month, it's whatever you need to succeed.
Step 4: Get Moving.
Now that we have a plan, we'll work to get your body more balanced and resilient. A big part of that is working on the lifestyle factors identified from your intake form and communicating with us in between sessions to stay on track. You have access to us via text/email to help guide you as you get started and when questions pop up.
Step 5: Maintain Momentum.
As you improve, we'll progress your plan so you can continue getting stronger, more mobile, more coordinated and dial in the lifestyle factors that are contributing. In between sessions, we'll be there checking in via text and offering continued guidance. Text/email questions anytime or send videos and we can check your form.
Why Choose Us
Going to a gym for the first time or the first time in a long time can be scary and intimidating. Maybe you're afraid of looking silly because you don't know what exercises to do or how to do them correctly or maybe you're concerned about hurting yourself and it’s keeping you from starting an exercise routine.
When you come to Rech Physio we want you to feel two things.
1
Welcomed
This is exactly where you should be and we are so happy for you to be a part of it.
2
Confident
Confident that you are doing the movements correctly. Confident that the routine you are doing is right for you. And confident that you have the resources to get help if you're not feeling confident in the first two.
Our Philosophy
Nobody wins fitness
The point of being in the gym is to improve your capacity, resilience and ability to experience life. Not be your life.
Be Reasonable
45 minutes 2-4 times a week working reasonably hard and eating reasonably healthy will get you great results.
Consistency
The key is consistency and doing it in a thoughtful way to avoid injury.

Tips for success when starting an exercise routine
Know your “why”
We know that changing your habits and getting into an exercise routine can be incredibly hard, but we also know that with the right motivation and support that it can be done - we’ve seen it! We have found that the best motivation comes from within and in order to get there, you have to know your why. What made you decide that now is the time? Write it down, and keep it close! Share it with us so we can be there to remind you when you need it most.
Be consistent.
Consistency is truly the bread and butter of success when it comes to any lifestyle change. Be as consistent as you can! We’ll be checking in with you to help hold you accountable. It also really helps to have an accountability partner whether it’s a fellow gym member or someone else.
Plan, plan, plan.
Did we mention plan? When starting an exercise routine, if you don't get it on the calendar, it's super easy to push your workout off to tomorrow but the problem is for most people, tomorrow never comes. Give yourself some grace, you’re not going to be able to perfectly stick to your plan. But if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.
Get help early!
We are here to help. If you have a question or something isn’t feeling right, let us know and we can figure it out together.
Don’t be afraid of failure.
There are always going to be ups and downs on any path you choose, so embrace them! There are going to be setbacks and plateaus, but that’s ok. Brush yourself off, give yourself some grace and jump back in. There is no destination for fitness, it's a constant journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
$124 per session. If the issue is something that is also affecting your daily life, we can submit it to your insurance. If it is strictly an issue with exercise, it is likely not covered by your insurance.
We meet you where you're at. Your exercise plan starts with workouts designed to get you moving and get you a good workout without overdoing it. This generally consists of warming up for 10 to 15 minutes, a workout where you're working hard whatever that means for you, usually for around 8-15 minutes, and then ending with a couple stretches and/or exercises to address any specific limitations that were identified at your initial assessment.

What is the cost to miss a day or work, or miss work to go to doctor appointments, or have a shorter working career because you are sick or lost productivity because you are unhealthy? The investment in your health is minimal to what it costs to treat sickness.
What is your deep “why” for going to the gym? Get clear with your deep feeling for coming to the gym. It's not enough to want to lose 5 lb or be stronger, it's the feeling those things give you.
