The 5 Stages of Pain Reduction Fitness embodies the core philosophy of Full Circle Fitness, which is centered on the concept of the “circle of life.”
Progress through the stages is not linear; setbacks from pain and injuries can occur, necessitating a return to earlier stages until one is ready to move forward again. Our program allows clients to start at any stage, not necessarily at Stage 1. For instance, an injured athlete might begin at Stage 2 if they already possess basic flexibility and mobility.
Our Pain Reduction Fitness Trainers confirm the appropriate starting stage during the mandatory initial fitness consultation. This comprehensive consultation includes an in-depth analysis of the client’s overall fitness levels, ensuring a personalized approach to pain reduction and fitness.

Throughout the program, we emphasize correct form, posture, and body mechanics, while also integrating recovery techniques such as stretching, massage, and therapeutic modalities to support the body’s healing process. The result is a simple, step-by-step process that not only alleviates pain but also improves functional movement, enabling you to lead a more active, pain- free life.
Our Pain Reduction Fitness Program follows a methodical and progressive approach designed to address and alleviate chronic pain while promoting long-term health and function. This approach is structured into five distinct stages, each building upon the previous one, to ensure a comprehensive solution to pain management and injury prevention:
step 1
The foundation of the program focuses on restoring range of motion and flexibility in the joints and muscles. By enhancing mobility, we allow the body to move more freely and reduce the stiffness and tension that often contribute to chronic pain.
step 2
Next, we introduce controlled strength training using isometric exercises and eccentric loading. This step focuses on developing strength without straining joints, promoting better muscle activation and balance while reducing pain associated with weak or imbalanced muscles.
step 3
In this stage, we target the stabilizing muscles of the body, improving core strength and balance. Stability is essential for maintaining proper posture and alignment, which helps to prevent injuries and further pain.
step 4
Once stability is established, we incorporate functional strength exercises that mimic everyday movements. This prepares the body for real-world activities, improving overall strength and coordination while reducing the risk of re-injury or overuse.
step 5
The final stage is focused on long-term maintenance, ensuring that the progress made in the previous stages is sustained. This involves continuing with a balanced mix of mobility, strength, and stability exercises to prevent pain from returning and to keep the body functioning optimally.

Owner & Fitness Expert
Kevin's passion is to help educate people on how to relieve their chronic pain for good! He strives to improve their quality of life by using fitness as a tool for increasing one's longevity and health. His experience of 17 years in the health and fitness industry has lead him to see a lack of knowledge and focus on the older demographic, especially those with chronic pain. After seeing so many people struggle with their chronic pain he decided something had to be done. So with his expertise in body mechanics, corrective exercise, and senior fitness he developed a program called “Pain Reduction Fitness”. This program is simple, progressive, and creates a more intelligent approach to conquering people’s chronic pain through unique movements, stretches, and functional exercises.
Kevin has delivered captivating workshops at many locations around Denver. Some of his more notable engagements include organizations like the JCC, Kavod Senior Life, Catholic Charities of Denver, and Temple Emanuel.

Kevin has helped me improve my strength and agility. He is patient and easygoing. I value him as a trainer because of his expertise in being able to adapt my exercise regimen to the problem of the week, helping me with my diet so that I have gained weight for the first time in 15 years, encouraging me to go physically beyond what I thought I could accomplish, and generally being a pleasure to work with.
Linda Corry
My knees were killing me when I walked stairs, downward especially. I also have some respiratory insufficiency and I decided that if I lose 20 pounds both of these issues should improve. With Kevin’s support and encouragement I embarked on changing my eating and upping my exercise.
So, I have lost 20+ pounds and feel good. My knees aren’t perfect but immensely better. My breathing has probably improved a bit too! Im ready for what’s next.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Full Circle Fitness embodies a cyclical approach to health and wellness, where all of your health and lifestyle choices are interconnected. This holistic philosophy ensures that every step of your fitness journey contributes to your overall well-being, promoting sustained vitality and strength.
How does our gym differ from other gyms?
This program isn't just for managing pain; it's designed to improve overall movement quality, strength, and flexibility which will not only heal existing pain, but prevent future injuries, enhance your physical performance, and improve posture. Incorporating these exercises into your routine will help to ensure your body remains resilient, adaptable, and ready for any physical challenges that may come your way, regardless of current pain or injury status.
Why should I train using a pain-reduction approach if I don't have any chronic pain or injuries?
Our private and semi-private sessions are 50 minutes long and can be completed independently or with a partner. In your first session, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment which includes postural analysis, range of motion testing, movement screening, and functional strength evaluations. Based on these assessments, we design a personalized Pain Reduction Program tailored to your unique needs.
How do the sessions work?
Progress is largely dependent on a number of factors such as the severity of your pain, your physical condition, and how consistently you follow the program. Many clients begin noticing improvements in mobility, flexibility, and reduction in pain within 4-6 weeks of consistent training, and more significant results between 8-12 weeks. Progress is reassessed every 3 months ensuring continuous improvement and long-lasting results.
How long does the process take until I see progress?
If you're experiencing chronic pain, seeking personalized attention, want to improve functional strength, and are committed to long-term results and holistic recovery, you won't find a team more committed to your healing and fitness journey. Book a session to see for yourself.
