You provide great care. But what's happening in between (and beyond) appointments?
You've done great work. You calmed things down during the acute phase, and improved your patient's function and confidence. Hell, maybe you even got them to do their rehab exercises. But what comes next?
There’s often a gap between post-rehab and genuine resilience. That’s where things can fall off without consistency, support, and further progression.
Win-Win
When we work with your patients, we integrate your approach and keep you as part of the conversation – even if it's been weeks or months.
We take an integrated approach that creates the best long-term outcomes.
How will you know things are working? Your referrals, testimonials, and retention will tell the tale.
Have a patient you'd like us to work with?
Our position
We're not clinicians. We don't diagnose. And we don't work within pain – unless directed by you. We train carefully, purposefully, and with clarity on your patient's needs.
How we roll
We offer individualized programming in a small-group environment. We excel at challenging our members within safe boundaries. Each program is built around an individual's readiness, history, and goals.
How we work with you
We communicate and collaborate. We welcome notes, and incorporate your guidelines and recommendations.
What things look like in practice
The following examples reflect the types of clients we commonly see. Identifying details have been changed to protect privacy.
Post-surgical ACL reconstruction
Will, a man in his mid 30s, experienced a grade 3 ACL tear (contact-related) during a game of recreational basketball. After surgery and post-op therapy, he returned to training with us.
Early work focused on isometric loading and restoring range of motion, as well as upper-body-strength and cyclic aerobic work.
Programming progressed to emphasize quad strength and stability-focused single-leg exercises.
In time, Will progressed to short-cycle plyometrics and progressive jumping – always beginning with a focus on deceleration.
Within six months, jumping and bounding were incorporated and Will returned to recreational play approximately nine months post-surgery, as well setting a new personal best for vertical jumping.
Idiopathic shoulder pain
Carlito,a professional in their early 40s identified periodic shoulder pain and numbness during their initial assessment.
We recommended imaging and manual therapy options. While waiting on results, Carlito trained normally, modifying and we modified any provocative movements or positions – all while emphasizing stability, pain-free range of motion, and strength.
In time (and after delays), the issue was diagnosed as cervical radiculopathy. However, by this point, symptoms had progressed from frequent to occasional – and were easily resolved.
Carlito took on lifestyle modifications to minimize future risk and training has progressed successfully.
Post-concussion return to physical activity
Mira, a sedentary professional in her late 20s, experienced a concussion and was referred to us for neuromuscular control training.
We began slowly, emphasizing exercises with high exteroceptive feedback (based on DNS exercise principles) before progressing to kneeling and standing positions with increasing intensity and complexity.
When symptoms presented themselves, we were able to respond immediately and typically see resolution within minutes.
We also discussed best practices for sleep and stress management for overall resilience.
Mira experienced experienced consistent improvement, returning to work and – for the first time in her adult life – engaged in a consistent exercise practice.
Common Questions
How do you handle flare-ups during training sessions?
Most flare-ups can be avoided through careful exercise selection and parameters on execution. However, flare-ups can still happen. In these cases, we'll pause and regroup to see if better execution can effectively resolve the issue. That's the ideal scenario, which may be supported by reducing load, range, or other parameters.
If these changes aren't clearly and immediately successful, we'll apply more conservative approaches, generally shifting to non-related movement choices to give the tissues a break while still benefiting from the more general effects of exercise.
When in doubt, or if passive rest is the right course of action, we default to caution and will consult with you.
How quickly do you progress loading?
We take a movement-first approach. Drilling technique can reduce inefficiencies and improve tissue capacity, as well as providing general benefits to strength, range of motion, and aerobic health.
With most new exercisers, we take 8-12 weeks before working on more direct loading strategies, specifically via barbell exercises. Those with a higher training age are taken on a case-by-case basis. However, it's worth noting that training age and tissue capacity is not a uniform condition and different movements and areas of the body may require different levels of loading, technique, and challenge.
Why are you guys any good – and why should I trust you?
That's a spicy one. But here's the thing: we don't claim to work any miracles; we just claim not to do anything silly. Avoiding obvious mistakes and unforced errors is a huge part of the battle. So, while we know that trainers are generally very well-intentioned, not everyone is ready to work with more complex challenges or older populations.
Not only have we learned from great teachers, we've also hosted them here at our facility. That includes people like Greg Lehman, Kathy Dooley, and Pavel Kolar.
We integrate a modern understanding of pain science and use evidence-informed movement principles. We also love to work as part of a clinical team. And our results, honestly, are pretty damn good. You can read our reviews here.
Most importantly, we remain open and curious, taking a client-centred approach that not only moves people forward but helps them feel seen, capable, and hopeful.
Will you follow my recommendations or restrictions?
Short answer: yes. It's essential to us to be rowing in the same direction as the clinical team. We'll incorporate your recommendations and maintain open and clear communications.
What makes Bang different from other gyms?
We'd like to think that any personal training space will incorporate best practices. We think that exercise specialists should be the best in the world at defining and exploring pain-free movement. In a lot of ways, we're not trying to be different from anyone. However, we also bring a lot of skill and experience to the mix.
We've been around since 2008 and tremendous work has gone into doing the basics exceptionally well. We believe in drilling integrity of position
However, In addition to our internal systems and skill and capacity-based progressions, we are experienced in working with a broad range of challenges and understand that most people just need to feel like they are moving forward in meaningful ways. We are patient, calm, and always centre the process on the individual.
Our 1-1 services are highly personalized and our Group Personal Training format allows for completely customized programming (including your exercise recommendations) in an environment that provides the perfect blend of support and autonomy.
