Bridging the gap from Physical Therapy to rebuilding full strength and function
Coached strength training in Irvine, on the Newport Beach line, for people who have been discharged from PT and do not want to undo it. We train around the injury and add load on purpose.
No obligation. Month-to-month memberships. If you’re not a fit, we’ll tell you.
The gap between rehab and a gym floor
Your therapist signs you off, hands you a sheet of exercises, and the next decision is yours. That is the point where people either stall for a year or load something too early. It is the part we do.
-
Discharged is not the same as ready
PT gets you out of pain and back to normal life. It does not usually get you back under a bar. The gap between those two is where most people re-injure themselves, because the next step after discharge is usually a gym floor and a guess.
-
We train around it, not through it
Nothing gets loaded because it is on a program. If a movement is not available to you yet, we use one that is, and revisit the other when it is earned. Pain is information, not something to push past.
-
Coached, every set
Sixty-minute sessions with a coach watching the movement rather than counting reps from across the room — one-on-one, or semi-private with no more than 6 people on the floor.
-
Load goes up slowly and on purpose
Progress is planned rather than improvised, and we re-check how you move as you go. The aim is that the thing that hurt stays quiet while everything around it gets stronger.
It starts with how you move
The Deep Health Assessment includes a movement assessment and your injury history in detail, which is what a program for a body with a history has to be written from. 45 minutes, complimentary, and you keep the plan either way.
Then it is one-on-one or semi-private training, whichever suits how much hands-on adjustment you need early on.
No obligation. Month-to-month memberships. If you’re not a fit, we’ll tell you.
I've been through many gyms (big and small) and worked with as many trainers over my 51 years, and Bryan has been the best hands down. … His corrections come with reasoning, and he constantly watches you to confirm solid form.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure whether you are ready? Call or text (949) 518-3480 and describe it — we will tell you honestly.
Are you physical therapists?
No, and we do not pretend to be. Physical therapy treats an injury; we train you after that treatment ends. If you are still in pain, still under a therapist, or need a diagnosis, that is a medical professional’s job and we will tell you so.
Can you work alongside my physical therapist?
Yes. If your therapist has given you restrictions, bring them. We would rather program around a clear instruction than find the limit by accident.
What if something hurts during a session?
You say so and we change it, that session. That is the advantage of having a coach in front of you rather than a program on an app: the adjustment happens immediately, not at your next check-in.
What qualifies you to train people after rehab?
Bryan Greene has coached since 2007 and holds the Pain-Free Performance Specialist certification from Pain-Free Performance Systems, alongside a degree in kinesiology. Post-rehabilitation training is a large part of what the studio does, which is not true of most commercial gyms.
Where would I be training?
At our private studio at 19732 MacArthur Blvd, Suite 130, Irvine, at MacArthur Blvd & Jamboree Rd. It is appointment-only, so there is no crowd and nobody waiting on the rack you are using.
Get back to training without going backwards
Coached sessions in a private studio in Irvine, programmed around what your body will actually tolerate today. The first step is a complimentary Deep Health Assessment.
