Fundamental sciences for coaches
Coaches at Momentum Fitness are all homegrown. They all study the same material, rehearse the same exercises, and follow the same structured curriculum. The training modules presented here were developed over the last six years and have been carefully revised and updated to reflect changes within the company and advances in practice. They were specifically designed to prepare trainers for the complexity of coaching diverse individuals and meeting the exacting demands of sport performance. Please allow yourself to immerse in the detail of these modules, free from distraction, so you can fully appreciate and understand the rigorous standards of coaching we uphold at Momentum Fitness.
Enjoy.

Muscle Physiology
If you always thought muscles were just big lumps of flesh that only gave you shape and body type, this module will change that view. Muscles have a complex, highly organized structure that lets them adapt and shift function depending on the type, intensity, and duration of the stimulus they receive.

Kinesiology
Human movement is beautiful. Kinesiology breaks that complexity down into clear parts, giving you a precise, practical understanding of how muscles, joints, and nerves work together to produce coordinated motion.

The Big Lifts Module
Big lifts are compound barbell exercises that have been used since the 1800s. The squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press remain the most effective moves for building raw strength and explosive power. When programmed correctly, these foundational lifts recruit large muscle groups, reinforce movement patterns, and provide consistent, measurable progress
