BOSS Fit × Stronger in Motion
BOSS Fit Ventura is hosting Pain & Gain, bringing David's rehab-to-performance system to coaches and trainers across Ventura and LA.
One day, one gym, and a skill set you'll use for the rest of your career.
Pain is the most disruptive variable in your practice.
One in three US adults is dealing with a musculoskeletal condition right now. Which means pain walks into your sessions every single week, and most certifications never taught you what to do in that moment.
So coaches improvise. Stop the exercise. Push through it. Or refer out and hope the client comes back. Often they don't.
Every client has two things: goals and pain. This course teaches you to work with both.
A decision system, not a pep talk.
You'll leave with a decision tree for the four pain regions you see most: knee, hip, back, and shoulder. Each one mapped across hypertrophy, strength, endurance, and functional athleticism.
You'll know which training variables you can't touch, which ones you can move freely, and how to keep the adaptation while getting rid of what's causing the pain. Floor-side, in real time, in the language you already use with clients.

How the Day Runs
Why this is your problem, with one specific client in mind.
The biopsychosocial model, kinesiophobia, and why you're the first person they talk to.
What you can't touch and what you can, across all four training goals.
Two hours on knee, hip, back, and shoulder. Keep the stimulus, lose the trigger.
Real cases with a partner, ending with a client of your own.
The full decision tree reference and a framework you can use Monday morning.

Dr. David Skolnik, PT, DPT
Founder, Stronger in Motion.
I've been training clients and treating patients full time since 2011, in person and online. Young athletes, centenarians, and just about everyone in between.
But more importantly, I live this.
I herniated a disc in my low back in 2012. Surgery in 2014. Re-herniated it in 2018. In those same years I competed at the World Championship level in powerlifting, ran a half marathon and a handful of 10Ks, played men's league basketball, and right now I'm training for HYROX. Pain didn't take training away from me. It changed how I program. That's the whole course.
I've led more than 40 certification weekends and workshops, taught over 1,000 fitness and rehab pros, spoken at NSCA events, taught anatomy at the National Personal Training Institute of Arizona, and I'm currently Adjunct Faculty in AT Still University's DPT program, working in the Therapeutic Exercise Lab.
What I'm after is simple. I want to change how the public sees exercise, and that starts with fitness professionals understanding what their work is actually worth.
