Look at this photo.

Two legs. Same person. Completely different structure on each side.

Now imagine trying to coach that individual with a universal standard — the same foot position, the same squat depth, the same alignment cues you give everyone else.

It doesn’t work. And deep down, most of us already know that.

The truth is, structural differences between individuals are real, significant, and largely invisible to the naked eye. You can’t see them on a movement screen. You can’t fix them with a cue. And you certainly can’t override them with a program template.

What you
can do is learn to assess for them, respect them, and design around them.

That’s exactly what we cover in the
RTS Foundations Lower Extremity course.

You’ll learn how individual structure shapes every lower-body exercise decision — from squat mechanics and foldability, to resistance strategies and real-time coaching adjustments. No cookie-cutter programming. No universal standards. Just intelligent, individualized
design.

Most trainers are designing lower body exercises based on what
looks right — not what’s actually right for that individual.

In the RTS Foundations
Lower Extremity course, you’ll learn how to assess, design, and coach with precision:

✔ How individual structure shapes every lower-body exercise ✔ Why foldability is the key to understanding squat mechanics ✔ How multi-joint muscles affect strength profiles and exercise setup ✔ The difference between

balance training and the skill of
balancing — and why it matters ✔ How to match resistance strategies to the individual, not the movement

Strengthening alone won’t get your clients there. Assessment, awareness, and smart design will.

What a weekend. 🙌
The RTS Foundations: Trunk & Spine course is officially in the books, and this group brought it — the curiosity, the effort, the questions that push the conversation forward. That’s exactly what this work is about.
We spent two days breaking down the mechanics of trunk and spinal exercise — not from a place of rules and restrictions, but from a place of what each individual truly has, owns, and tolerates. That shift in perspective changes everything about how you train people.
To every one of you in this photo — thank you for showing up ready to grow. Your clients are going to feel the difference.
The next modules are coming. Stay locked in. 👊

⏰
Class starts THIS Saturday — don’t miss it!

The RTS Foundations: Trunk & Spine course is almost here, and seats are limited.

This isn’t about finding the “best” spinal stabilization exercise. It’s not about what you think your client needs — or what you believe they can’t do. It’s about what they show you they truly HAVE, OWN, and TOLERATE

Join instructor Steve Van Zandt for a two-day deep dive into the mechanics, force, and precision behind trunk and spinal exercise — and walk away with skills you can use in your very next session.

Perspectives on challenging the trunk and spinal musculature

It’s not about finding the one and only “best spinal stabilization exercise!“ It’s not about a predetermined version of what they “need“ to do! It’s not about a preconceived belief of what they “can’t or shouldn’t“ do! It’s solely about what they show you they really can do… What they have, own, and tolerate!!!

Do you really know how to train the core — or are you just doing exercises that involve it?

There’s a difference. And once you understand it, the way you program and coach changes completely.

Join us April 18–19 for
RTS Foundations: Trunk / Spine — a two-day deep dive into the mechanical principles that govern how the spine and core actually function during exercise.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

▸ Assess posture with purpose — practically and accurately ▸ Train the core correctly, not just generically ▸ Use spinal structure and positioning to drive smarter exercise selection ▸ Build individualized resistance strategies based on each client’s trunk strength profile

This is advanced training for fitness professionals who want to move beyond cookie-cutter programming and deliver results that are truly client-defined.

“The core.” “Posture.” “Alignment.” “Neutral.” “Stabilization.”

We hear these words everywhere in the fitness industry—but are they actually helping us understand the spine… or oversimplifying it?

Too often, we start with exercises and then try to justify them with buzzwords. These terms get treated like facts—sometimes even as one-word answers to complex questions. The result? Misinterpretation, poor decision-making, and a shallow understanding of how the spine really works.

Real learning doesn’t start with trends—it starts with fundamentals. It requires curiosity, critical thinking, and a willingness to go deeper than quick, easy answers.

If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level concepts and truly understand the spine from the ground up, this course is for you.

When my client performs trunk rotation, the goal isn’t just to move steel for the sake of moving the machine further or to complete a predetermined number of reps. The goal is to build awareness and control by having the client explore where his true rotation ends at his spine. This is completely reliant on the client’s ability to sense it internally.

That point where the body says, “this is my available motion,” can change by day, by set, or by rep. This means the client must be completely focused every second of every rep on what’s truly driving the motion from beginning to end. All the answers lie inside the their body! Therefore, it’s our job to guide our their focus towards internal awareness. Nothing of value comes from them launching the machine for a predetermined number of reps just to get it over with while you shout and count.

By slowing things down, we allow the client to:
• Develop better spinal awareness
• Control the rotation rather than using inertia to “cheat” the resistance
• Protect their facet joints instead of smashing them at end range

If you’re a trainer or therapist who wants to better understand the trunk and spine, I’ll be teaching RTS Foundations: Trunk & Spine on April 18–19, 2026.

This course dives deep into spinal mechanics and how to develop custom-fit exercises for your clients. Unlike many other fitness courses, this class is not teaching choreography or memorization. You will build a skill set to develop a robust “core” highly capable and tolerant to force in an array of positions for anyone at any level. Invest in yourself and your clients will invest in you. Take RTS!
