The more access we have to ourselves, the wider spectrum of feelings we have. When we have access to those feelings, we can become more of how we envision ourselves to be.

Rob Stephenson

Personal Trainer & Bodyworker

Train Rugged aims to give you a workout and body that can withstand demanding challenges, whether in sport or your daily life. Personal trainer & sports massage therapist Rob Stephenson trains you according to your body and lifestyle, and uses deliberate methods and sports massage techniques that promote longevity of the body, promotes immune function and the elimination of negative stress and inflammation.

 

Sustainability is the key to a long and healthy life of training. Is the way you exercise sustainable for years and years to come? Are your joints and tissues aligned in such a way that there isn’t negative compression happening on your body? The joints and muscles with the most capacity to withstand stress and adapt to stress will be the ones that will last a lifetime. Ask yourself: do you train in a sensible way that arranges your body, joints, and muscles for optimal functioning so that they don’t aggravate you?

Train Rugged is a protocol of fitness training and bodywork that allows optimal functioning and healing to take place. Each time we meet we assess, train, relax, reassess, repeat.

Rob uses his 14+ years of expertise as a personal trainer, sports massage practitioner and bodyworker to align your body for efficient, pain-free, high performance movement. It doesn’t matter if your focus is on sport or you seek more bodily comfort in your day-to-day. Rob makes your joints and body his priority, and does all he can to make them feel more youthful. This is typically done through sports massage and bodywork—myofascial and pressure point work—and physical training—corrective exercise and kinetic sequencing.

 

THE vISION

The vision is to build injury-resistant joints through movement patterning and muscle conditioning. With a focus on injury prevention and joint performance, Train Rugged helps guide you to a healthier feeling body. By training the muscles to load eccentrically as well as concentrically, your tissues become elastic and pliable, resulting in less bodily pain, spine issues, and joint aberrations.
