Thank you to Kinesiologist Brandan Fox and Dr. Sean for an incredible three-day, 24-hour live immersion packed with practical case studies and professional development.

During the Upper Body Mastery Certification, we shared personal injuries and limitations, developing detailed roadmaps to assess, identify, and modify movement patterns for true restoration. The focus centered on shoulder and neck function—addressing upper body limitations and pain through postural discrepancies such as upper crossed syndrome, while eliminating unrelated lower body factors.

We were able to further pinpoint shoulder pain to its root cause. This certification will enhance my ability to better serve clients by creating more personalized prehab and corrective programs designed to eliminate pain and minimize the risk of injury from chronic imbalances.

Both Brandon and Dr. Sean have worked with NFL athletes and former Olympians, and their body of work truly speaks for itself. Learning from professionals of this caliber was an absolute privilege.

A special thank-you to Greg at Varimax Fitness for allowing me to get my lifts in while staying in Sacramento.

This marks the first certification completed in a series of three. The plan is to complete the Lower Body Mastery and Core Mastery certifications next, ultimately earning recognition as an Exercise Therapy Personal Trainer through the Exercise Therapy Association.

I’m leaving this certification inspired, equipped, and motivated—with a binder full of protocols, assessments, and live case studies to help clients move pain-free and understand the why behind their challenges.

God is great—this industry continues to be such a gift and blessing.

“Meet them where they are.”

One of my clients recently said,
“With my schedule and family, there’s just no time to get to the gym outside of our sessions.”

So I brought the gym to them — using the same equipment I use for my in-home clients, we turned a part of their home into a functional training space. Just enough to stay on track between sessions.

That’s what it’s about: creating real, practical solutions that fit into real lives.
And to my other in-home clients — don’t worry, I’ve got plenty more equipment for our gains.

Some start in a van, garage, or truck…
Mine started in my parents’ basement.

In 10–20 years, I’ll be sharing this exact photo at a convention — showing others the ins and outs of the industry.
By then, I’ll have seen even more of the highs and lows. But just like now, I’ll still be doing it for the people. Because this work matters.

🚨**BREAKING NEWS: Y = MX + B HAS ENTERED THE CHAT.**🚨

Remember sitting in math class wondering, “When will I ever use this in real life?”
Well guess what — WE FOUND A USE FOR IT. 😤📉

💥 In just 34 weeks, David has lost 50 POUNDS.
🔥 Body fat? Down 11.8%.
📊 Linear equation of the transformation?

y = -1.47x + 254

Translation:
📆 x = weeks
⚖️ b= starting weight
➖1.47 = average pounds lost PER WEEK
254 = where the journey started

Week 34?

David’s clocking in at 204 lbs.

And guess what… WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED.

Welcome to PHASE 3 — next mission: 🔥DROP 25 MORE🔥

Whew!!! I hope my use of this concept will open up his gradebook and backtrack to 9th grade and give me that A.

But even if it doesn’t — I’ll take this win right here.
See you at the graduation of Phase 3, not Algebra 3. 🎓

Let’s keep this class in session. 💪📈

Dear Clients,

I’m thrilled to announce that I am now a Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). This certification allows me to better support you in:

-Injury prevention
-Movement optimization
-Improving overall performance

Many common issues—such as shoulder impingement, herniated discs, groin tears, ACL injuries, hamstring strains, ankle sprains, etc...—stem from poor movement mechanics. As your CES, I will guide you in correcting these mechanics before they lead to injury.

By following the Corrective Exercise Continuum, we will:

1️⃣ Inhibit (relieve tension in overactive muscles),
2️⃣ Lengthen (stretch tight muscles),
3️⃣ Activate (strengthen underactive muscles),
4️⃣ Integrate (restore optimal movement patterns).

Additionally, combining stretching with muscle activation techniques, proprioceptive stretching will be incorporated weekly to improve neuromuscular control and joint mobility. This approach will help build a resilient body capable of correcting mechanics before injury occurs and enhancing performance.

⚠️ Important Note: As a CES, I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. If you are dealing with an acute injury, I recommend seeking medical attention. I work in partnership with your healthcare providers to ensure the safest and most effective path to recovery.

Remember, a strong, capable body is the foundation for achieving your goals—whether those goals are injury prevention, enhanced performance, or aesthetic improvements. Your commitment to the process and incorporating corrective exercise will provide long-term benefits both in and outside of the gym.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss how this approach can benefit you, or if you have any questions. Let’s work together to make your body work better and move better!

Best regards,
Freddy Kostjerevac, MAcc, NASM CPT, CNC, CES

Did You Know?

According to Harvard Health Publishing (2020), a 1-hour workout can burn 440 to 880 calories for a 185-pound individual. Over the course of a year (4 workouts per week for 52 weeks), that adds up to:

• 91,520 calories burned = 26 pounds lost (light to moderate intensity).

• 183,040 calories burned = 52 pounds lost (intense, vigorous workouts).

Why It Works:

1. Strength & Conditioning Progressions: Incorporating proper progressions and corrective work helps prevent injury while building muscle. More muscle = a higher resting metabolic rate, meaning you’ll burn calories even while resting.
“Ever heard of ‘Make money while you sleep’? Now, it’s ‘Burn calories while you rest’.”

2. Nutrition Adjustments: A well-designed nutrition plan can further create a calorie deficit, enhancing additional fat/weight loss. Even without changing your nutrition, the above benefits can be achieved. But with additional nutritional changes, expect even greater results!

Your Plan:

Commit to 4 progressive 1-hour workouts every week for the next year, focusing on strength, conditioning, and injury prevention. Stay consistent, and watch your body transform into a stronger, healthier version of yourself!
