We guarantee to improve Response Time in our clients.
   2. Athlete Training – 6 session program geared towards improving the nervous system’s response time. Off season or competition season training. This program is sport specific to the athlete and combines both physical and cognitive training to enhance an athletes performance while decreasing the risk of injury during season. Better stats during the season and more longevity is the goal. Guaranteed improvement in response time.

What is Neural Movement?

Cognitive Information Processing – At Neural Movement they believe traditional training methods are outdated. Professional athletes like Steph Curry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Vasyl Lomachenko and others are training the mind along with the body. These world class athletes realize that the mind and body are constantly interacting with one another and their training reflects this. On a simplified level, they interact with their surroundings in three steps.

1. Information: We receive information through various sensation (Sight, auditory, tactile etc.)
2. Processing: Our brains process that information in various ways.
3. Action: The brain then executes an action. This can be evading an oncoming object or reaching for a door handle.

Chances are majority of your fitness experiences lacked Step One and Step Two. Traditionally, fitness mainly focuses solely on the third step, Action. This would look something like what you typically see at a gym. Individuals picking up weights and setting them down, running aimlessly on a treadmill, or running a predetermined movement pattern set by a trainer. They look to change this norm by implementing the latest technology and their own unique cognitive training methods, taking traditional exercises and giving them a much needed makeover.

A Neural Movement session would implement all three steps into the fitness exercises. They want you to be able to process information faster while moving. Rather than running aimlessly for cardio they may give you a task where you’re sprinting and reaching out to grasp an object. For agility training, they would have you reacting to a randomized changing stimulus forcing you to react to what you perceive rather than a predictable pattern. Rather than lifting weights traditionally, they may incorporate strength training on a vibrational plate where they get more muscle recruitment and tactile input.

They want you to react faster, perform movements more efficiently while processing everything around you. The world is moving faster every day and our training needs to reflect this so that we can keep pace. But the best way to experience this is to try one of their sessions for yourself!
