Structural Integrity from Intelligent Fitness™
Our Structural Integrity programme is a 12 week exercise course that’s designed to make you look and feel better. The unique blend of education, assessment and evidence-based exercise is very effective. As the weeks go by you’ll really understand how to look after yourself: mobility drills, stretches and exercises are all explained, practiced and progressed under a watchful eye.
Great posture, muscles that work and function correctly and the right amount of flexibility can all be achieved. But this isn’t a magic programme, you need to do the work. Each week the exercises will progress and there will be a programme written for you to complete at home.
It’s simple - complete the course, do the homework and in 12 weeks you’ll have made momentous improvements to your structural integrity.
Structural Integrity is essential for daily life and health related fitness
Many of us are just not as fit we know we should be or not as fit as we’d like to be. All too often our work, pastimes or every day lives are compromised by a lack of fitness or aches and pains that could often be avoided.
Structural Integrity corrects muscle tightness, improves muscle activation and firing patterns, stabilises joints and develops the endurance in the key postural muscles to see you through each day. Furthermore, once you’ve got your structure as it should be, you’re ready to work safely and effectively to improve the other key factors for health – your cardiovascular fitness and your strength.
If you want to be healthier and fitter, Structural Integrity is the place to begin.
Structural integrity is essential if you want to look your best
We may not like it, we may not even admit it, but we are all interested in how we look.
Standing nice and tall, shoulders correctly aligned, stomach under control and buttocks toned - sounds too good to be true but with a purposeful effort it’s all achievable.
The careful design of our Structural Integrity course ensures that your efforts will be focused – no need to exercise endlessly or complete hundreds of abdominal curls. The simple, safe and effective exercises included will make a difference to how your body functions and looks all day and every day.
Structural integrity is essential whatever your level of fitness
If you class yourself as a beginner, Structural Integrity is the perfect place to start – getting your body’s structure properly prepared sets you up to achieve your fitness goals whatever they may be.
If you’ve already exercised a little, or even a lot, there’s a good chance your old regime hasn’t addressed many of the elements essential for a sound structure. Indeed, more often than not, old regimes will have exacerbated underlying problems.
To date, the unfit through to elite athletes have all benefited from Structural Integrity.
Structural integrity is essential for athletic performance
Whatever your chosen sport or activity, it’s essential to get the fundamentals in place: ideal muscle lengths, proper muscle activation and firing patterns, stable joints and excellent endurance in the key postural muscles.
Mastering the fundamentals will definitely improve your form, technique and overall performance. Your likelihood of injury will also be reduced.
For those who want to excel at an activity, the foundation created by Structural Integrity allows a safe progression into serious athletic conditioning.
Previous injuries or medical conditions?
A key principle of our exercise ideology is safety. Every exercise we employ is straightforward and biomechanically correct, spinal loads are kept to a minimum, ranges of movement are carefully controlled and throughout there’s a meticulous attention to detail.
You can be assured that whatever aches and pains you may have suffered from previously, Structural Integrity is the course for you.
The same can be said of many medical conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis to name but a few.
Structural Integrity is very safe and very effective for everyone.
The Intelligent approach vs. “typical” exercise classes
Unlike typical exercise classes, at Intelligent Fitness we’re passionate about inspiring and helping you to look after your body – it’s the only one you’ve got.
Completing our Structural Integrity course will bring about immediate benefits and set you up to look after yourself for good.
| What Structural Integrity offers | What a typical class offers |
|---|---|
| Small groups of no more than 6 guarantees the personal attention that’s required to really get it right | Larger class sizes and set formats allow for little, if any, personal attention |
| A relaxed environment and an educational component – ask questions about what you’re doing and understand how to look after your body for evermore | Little, if any, information is provided |
| Significant improvements to your body’s structure in just 12 weeks | Little, if any, long term benefit to health |
| Every exercise is straightforward, biomechanically correct, safe and very effective | Many of the exercises impart dangerously high loads upon the spinal column. Others are unnecessarily complicated, poor or simply inappropriate |
| A thorough assessment process. Muscle lengths, muscle function, posture and motor skills will all be properly assessed enabling your progress to be measured and the programme tailored to suit you | Commonly no assessment takes place at all. Occasionally, a visual assessment (which on its own is flawed) is undertaken |
| The exercises are structured and progressed in line with the current scientific consensus | The format often bears no resemblance to exercise science or to the exercise guidelines of reputable health organisations |
| Personalised programmes for you to follow between each of the sessions | Little or no advice about exercising outside of the class |
| Delivered by a highly experienced coach who’s skilled in assessment and exercise prescription |
