Essential Strength

Private Coaching Application

Clinical, Individualized Strength Coaching.

Every Essential Strength client works 1-on-1 with a Master's-level coach. It starts with a 60-minute diagnostic assessment, becomes a fully individualized program, and is delivered in a private, appointment-only facility in East Liberty. We keep our roster small — this application helps us make sure it's the right fit before we invest a session in you.

Told he needed a partial knee replacement — now running again.

“After three different doctors told me I needed a partial knee replacement... six months later, I'm walking completely pain free and have even started running again. I've committed to working with them for a full year.”

Hip labrum surgery to lifting more than before the injury.

“After my hip labrum surgery I did PT for six months. I followed his program and after 3 months I felt more confident using my hip, and 6 months later my range of motion was higher than before my injury. I'm lifting more weight than before.”

Two years of failed PT — then selected for Team USA.

“A nagging knee injury had sidelined me from field hockey, and after two years of failed physical therapy and injections... within three months I was performing better than I had in years. Essential Strength is the reason I was selected to represent Team USA at the Masters level.”
