Basic Training in downtown Scottsdale is the only MedX Strength Training facility of its kind in the southwest. Basic Training is not a chain or a franchise.
Featuring 26 pieces of MedX, including the entire core line & Medical MedX. Basic Training also has a private, personal training center. It is locally owned and operated by two competent people who have a sincere passion for providing exceptional fitness and operating a quality small business. At Basic Training everyone gets personal training. Each and every member who joins the MedX Strength Trai
ning Facility is educated and set up on a comprehensive personal weight resistance exercise routine. Bill personally works with every person who signs up at Basic Training to insure machine settings are correct and operation of the sophisticated complex machines are mastered. The exerciser is “shadowed” with supervision until they are able to demonstrate a level of competency and confidence on the machines. This step-down training with Debbie Crawford works extremely well with geriatric populations who can benefit greatly from the MedX strength training. Debbie has been assisting on the floor for over ten years and is educated in MedX protocol. Additionally, Bill’s glassed in, private one-on-one training facility located within Basic Training provides additional oversight. There are large glass windows looking into the MedX facility so Bill can constantly observe the MedX floor. If he sees someone needing attention or a correction on an exercise he does not hesitate to cross over into the MedX facility and address the issue. This highbred approach to training and accountability gives every client a strong advantage over training in large fitness centers where their presence goes largely unnoticed. For clients needing more accountability or specialized training, many choose to train with Bill one-on-one in his private facility within Basic Training. Inside the private facility you will find a vast selection of equipment hand picked over the years. It’s the “best of the best” including Medical MedX Lumbar and Cervical Extension Machines, original Nautilus, Cybex, Paramount, York, Badger Magnum, StairMaster and Avenger. When you are training with Bill, there are no other members or trainers present. Just you and Bill; eyeball to eyeball. That’s why his clients who have access to his personal training get such amazing results, as featured on CNN, Fox News and many magazine and newspaper articles. Bill was inducted into the Natiuonal Fitness Hall of Fame in 2012 for his accomplishments in the health and fitness industry over 35 years.
