REPROGRAM YOUR TRAINING FOR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

The 2-Day Lifelong Performance Specialist Certification (LPSC) is the blueprint of how to program for your clients . In this 2-day, 16-hour certification course, attendees will learn the 6 physical characteristics that every human needs to train and the methods and modalities to take instant action in the implementation of Dr. John Rusin’s Lifelong Performance Training System.

Walk away knowing how to program for yourself and your clients blending strength, power, hypertrophy, mobility, cardio/conditioning and athleticism.

Why most programs fail

We believe that every client needs to have the following characteristics being challenged and improved EVERY single week in order to optimize both health AND performance:

STRENGTH

POWER

HYPETROPHY

CARDIO/CONDITIONING

MOBILITY

ATHLETICISM

Again, each of these 6 characteristics are essential to not only PERFORMANCE, but also to HEALTH.

The problem we see in the industry is that many (if not all) programs that are out there are HYPERFOCUSED on one characteristic at the expense of others.

And while these focused program may be ok to run for a short period of time for someone with a specific goal…

The reality is 99% of our clients are GENERAL HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE CLIENTS who need to challenge all 6 of those characteristics every single week.

And c’mon now, everyone (I mean everyone) should be prioritizing health FIRST.

We know that can be a bit confusing in how to successfully program all 6 characteristics into each week.

Especially since many of the governing certs out there will teach you to focus on just one characteristic at a time.

We’ll be breaking down each of those characteristics and how to simplify what they are and should feel like.

We’ll explain why it’s important to include each characteristic, what the advantages are and how that helps improve health and longevity metrics.

We’ll look at actionable ways to include them into a program for 2-3x per week clients (aka our break and butter!). Sneak peak…this is the 6X6 method.

What our PPSC
Alumni are
saying...

“PPSC is the cornerstone tool for the way we keep our clients healthy”

“After being introduced to the Pain-Free Performance System 3-years ago, I was able to finally battle back from a serious back injury that I’d been struggling with for almost a decade. Not only did the system work to get me out of pain, but I also made some serious progress improving strength and muscle mass with no nagging issues to this day. From there, Vigor Ground Fitness has continued implementing this system with our coaches and clients which has become a cornerstone tool for way we keep our clients healthy and getting results.”

“Focus on one thing – moving PAIN-FREE!”

“We had a great time this weekend attending the Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification. The PPSC put together a great seminar helping us further understand the importance of developing a more concrete dynamic warm up, an even greater systematic screening approach with emphasis on the 6 foundational movement patterns. We were also provided the tools for on-going assessing in both the group and individual setting – all with the focus on one thing: moving PAIN-FREE.”

“PPSC has given me an excellent framework for assessing, creating and implementing!”

“Every client that comes to me has a muscular imbalance, previous injury, or poor movement mechanics. But their goal is often the same- get stronger without injuring or re-injury. The PPSC certification has given me an excellent framework for not only assessing those movement discrepancies but also creating and implementing a thoughtful and intelligent strength program. I feel more confident working with my people and that is invaluable. Thank you so much!”
