𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴… 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! 💪

When Mani first came to PI, it was because he had injured his back while deadlifting.

Fast forward to today, and not only is he back to deadlifting, but he's made some impressive strength gains across the board!

In this photo, PI Coach Nathan is using his fingertips to cue Mani to build tension and engage the right muscles BEFORE the bar even leaves the ground.

It's a small coaching detail that can make a big difference in how effectively and confidently someone performs a lift.

And Mani's progress hasn't been limited to deadlifting!

One of his early milestones was doubling the weight he could lift on the lat pulldown through a combination of improved technique and increased strength.

It's a great reminder that progress isn't always about simply lifting heavier. Sometimes, learning to move better is what opens the door to getting stronger.

Great work, Mani! We love seeing your hard work pay off! 👏

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲? 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁! 💪

The Swiss Ball Jackknife is one of the exercises we use in our assessments for more advanced clients, as well as in some of our training programs to challenge and develop core strength, stability, and coordination.

It might look simple, but don't let that fool you!

The challenge? See how many QUALITY reps you can complete at a slow, controlled tempo.

✅ Start in a plank position with your lower legs supported on the ball.

✅ Pull your knees toward your chest, rolling the ball forward.

✅ Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout.

That's ONE rep!

No rushing, no sagging hips, and no sacrificing technique just to squeeze out another rep.

At PI, we work with clients of all ages and abilities—from those just beginning their fitness journey to experienced exercisers and athletes looking to take their performance to the next level.

And for those ready for a challenge, exercises like this help us see just how well strength, stability, and coordination come together.

So, what's your prediction? How many perfect reps could YOU do? 👇

Glass in my foot… or Morton’s neuroma? 🦶

Three times in six months, I thought I had a tiny shard of glass stuck in the same spot in my foot. When even a ten-minute dog walk became painful, I realized something else was going on.

With input from physiotherapists and plenty of trial and error, I’ve found adjustments that help me keep enjoying the activities I love—including running.

In our most recent PI blog, I shared my experience, what’s helped, and the footwear, supports, and other tools I’ve found useful.

My biggest reminder? Feeling better doesn’t mean it’s time to add everything back at once. Apparently, that’s a lesson I need more than once! 😉

👉 Read the full story through the link in our bio.

And if foot pain keeps coming back, get it assessed by a qualified allied health or primary healthcare professional. My experience may offer ideas, but your feet deserve their own assessment and plan.

𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻? 💪

One of our longtime PI members recently shared her fitness journey with us, and it's a great reminder that getting older doesn't mean we have to lower our expectations of what our bodies can do.

From never having deadlifted to celebrating personal records, improving her bone density, and feeling stronger than she ever expected, her story is one we're proud to share.

At PI, we believe everyone is an athlete, regardless of age or experience. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond, there's always room to get stronger, build confidence, and challenge yourself.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳!

A big thank you to this member for allowing us to share her story. ❤️

Even coaches need coaches! Preparing for my first HYROX race with Steve reignited my competitive spark—but my enthusiasm got ahead of my training plan.

In this video, I share what I learned from recurring hamstring issues, a longer-than-expected recovery, and the value of having someone help me see the bigger picture.

I talk about:
• Balancing ambition with progression and recovery
• What I learned while exploring proximal hamstring tendinopathy
• Why Steve is programming my HYROX training this year—and how I serve as his check and balance
• “Global programming”: planning beyond today’s workout, whether you’re training for an event or staying strong for life

Sometimes a coach helps you push. Sometimes they help you give recovery the attention it deserves.

Same kettlebell challenge, new position. 🔥

This time, Josh is carrying the kettlebell bottoms-up with his arm extended overhead and his bicep close to his ear. Keeping the bell balanced while he walks challenges shoulder stability, grip, and whole-body control.

Overhead mobility helps you reach the position. Stability helps you stay in control once you’re there.

Sitting for long periods, repetitive movement patterns, tight muscles, and previous injuries can all affect how your lower body moves.

In this video, we walk you through 2 of 4 Lower Body Posture Resets designed to introduce more movement through your hips and lower body and help you move and perform better:

→ Jefferson Curl
→ Couch Stretch

If you head on over to our blog, you can check out the other 2 lower body posture re-sets:

→ Piriformis/Glute Stretch
→ Side-Bending Cossack Squat

Together, these four exercises work on lower-body flexion and extension, along with internal and external hip rotation.

The goal isn't to force your body into a "perfect" position. Think of these resets as regular maintenance—helping your body maintain the movement options you need for training, sport, and everyday life.

🍂 𝗔 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 🦃

As we head into the Thanksgiving long weekend, take a moment to reflect on what you're most thankful for.

Maybe it's your health, the ability to move your body, time spent outdoors, sharing a meal with family and friends, or simply having a little time to slow down and recharge.

It's easy to get caught up in what we should be doing or what we want to improve. But sometimes, it's worth pausing to appreciate what we already have and what our bodies allow us to do. ❤️

Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend filled with good food, good company, and a little time for yourself!
