With the popularity of Gray Cook’s Functional Movement Screen (FMS), the topic of screening and assessing personal training clients has become hot. Dan And Rob Rowland take a wack at it:
- Why Assessment is important
- Assessing or Guessing?
- Is assessment a waste of time?
- How to assess and screen the crossfit population
- Screens for group fitness vs. 1 on 1 personal training
- Screening Rob Rowland, the next Crossfit Games 2013 winner
- The Functional Movement Screen – A possible solution?
Here’s a link to the Fitcast’s FMS debate. Very informative.

Thanks Dan! Because of you and Rob my workout time have been cut down to 5-10 mins a day! BUT… My prehab/rehab workout times have increased to 5 hours a day. LOL. I’ve stopped saying I workout 4 x’s a week. Now I say I pre/rehab 7 x a week!
Seriously, thanks for the good info. Getting old is not for sissiess.
Nice! What’s injured right now? Might help to see a PT or chiro to get started with the rehab.
Dan I’m still dealing with the Shoulder. My Dr. wantend me to take 1 to 2 weeks off after the Triathlon sprint I did on the 1st of Sept. He laid out a time line for me, but especially after listening to this pod cast I decided to book a PT appointment. I need a specialist to guide me through this stuff because it is obvious I don’t know how to do anything but keep this shoulder injured. I have not done anykind of lifting with my right arm in about 6 weeks now. The swimming I was doing was enough to keep it hurting. ( I was only using a side stroke. The injured side was the trail arm.) Thank goodness that race is off my bucket list! Back to the power sports once I get healed up.
Good stuff, glad you decided to consult a PT, keep me informed. Let me know if I can help in any way.
