Functional Movement Screening
NEXUS is running its next round of FMS on July 23rd from 11-1p! The FMS is a two-hour basic movement screening that looks at how your body moves and where it might be compensating from. Knowing this helps to prevent injury in the gym and allows athletes to get serious about what they need to focus on. Paying $150 for the FMS gets you the two-hour screening, a copy of your results, and then the results broken-down with Owner Ashley Coffey in an hour 1/1 which gives you specific daily movements to work on righting your compensations.
So, If you feel like a past injury is getting in the way of your performance, or if you seem to be hitting a plateau, these evaluations will tell you everything you need to know about how to improve your fitness! Start the new year off right and register.
