Functional workouts are personalized to suit any age and fitness level. We'll use light medicine balls, resistance tubing, and various floor exercises to increase strength, balance, and flexibility. But a fitness regime alone isn't enough to fully realize any fitness goal. At RSF, we'll help you identify and understand why some of your current behaviors and lifestyle choices may be working against you.
Good flexibility not only provides many physical fitness benefits but also has a positive effect on your overall health and well-being. The term "flexibility" means the ability of your body to bend or adapt to changing forces and fast movements. Flexibility exercises are an important component of any strength training program.
Poor eating habits coupled with a sedentary lifestyle can lead to obesity, which is associated with a significant number of health risks as well as psychological and emotional issues. Individualized nutritional coaching can get you on track. Together we will set a realistic and obtainable goal and identify the eating behaviors that work against you.
The latest research shows that regular physical activity is linked to increased life expectancy after a diagnosis of cancer, and in some cases can decrease the risk of cancer recurrence. ReNew is our own specialized program that is customized to the needs of each participant and provides insight into diet and nutrition, as well as increasing strength and flexibility.

Unfortunately, the only advice the pediatrician gave us was to draw a pie chart explaining USDA food recommendations. This was not only insulting but useless. Needless to say, we left her practice. But our next pediatrician didn’t have much more to offer besides suggesting different sports our son might explore. Frustrated, I took to the internet and found the Rochester School of Fitness and the Fitness 101 program for kids 8-18 who struggle with

Great workouts and great conversation! Mido has been a tremendous help as I continue to work toward personal goals, reaching them, and setting new ones. Motivating, educational, challenging and fun are how I would describe my experiences working out at Rochester School of Fitness. Highly recommend. Thanks, Mido!
