Doesn’t sound like you? Trust me, everyone is an athlete and if you don’t believe me then let’s work together to find out if I’m right
I started GritGPC to create more of an impact in doing what I love to do. While I still work full time as a physical therapist, my true passion comes in helping people to achieve what they thought they couldn’t. Whether that thought is being able to get up from the ground without help or a 400-pound squat, both make me equally happy to see come to life.
GPC stands for general physical conditioning and is a riff on GPP, which stands for general physical preparation. GPP originated from Russian training texts and was an integral part of any sport program. They would program all athletes to incorporate GPP to create the foundation needed to support their sport specific goals. My use for GPC is the same, becoming proficient in multiple areas to prepare an athlete for anything life throws your way.
Running a marathon? Let’s build a foundation on single limb strength, endurance, and core stability.
Keeping up with your (grand)kids? Let’s build a foundation on flexibility, work capacity, and the ability to change levels.
Starting powerlifting? Let’s build a foundation on core strength, perfect form, and correct muscular imbalances before they can cause issues.
I’m here for any sport and any aspect of life that can benefit from knowledge of strength and conditioning, working through (and avoiding) injuries, or just creating accountability to finally make fitness a lifelong habit.
Let’s get started.
