NEXUS INSIGHT!
Hey there, NEXUS Community!
When you’re mid-workout and teetering between quitting or pushing through, your brain is waging a silent war between fatigue and drive. At the core of this battle is the prefrontal cortex, which governs decision-making and willpower, and the amygdala, which flags discomfort and potential threats—like that burning in your legs. The neurotransmitter dopamine also plays a key role, not just in pleasure but in motivation itself. When you anticipate a reward (finishing the set, hitting a PR), dopamine spikes, nudging you to keep going. But when physical stress overwhelms those signals, your brain starts pulling back to protect the body. Learning how to override those internal alarms—without ignoring true danger—is where mental conditioning comes in. In short, pushing harder isn’t just about muscles. It’s a neurological skill you can train!
Come train your brain with us! See you soon!

FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT SCREENING!
The FMS is a basic movement screening that is used to find hidden movement habits, muscle weakness, balance, compensations and to prevent injury. Anyone can do the FMS as it is a simple set of measured movements designed to look at how your body moves in patterns, not parts. NEXUS believes physical movement is learned behavior through shape change. This means we can define our starting conditions through the FMS and relearn proper form inside functional fitness for healing and training.
The FMS gives NEXUS the unique information to construct your data-driven personalized plan. NEXUS uses the screening to provide corrective exercises for you to do in the gym or the comfort of your own home.
So, If you feel like a past injury is getting in the way of your performance, or if you seem to be hitting a plateau, these evaluations will tell you everything you need to know about how to improve your fitness!
*The FMS is required for Personal Training, Technique Training, & to move through the Performance Training Levels.
The FMS is $189 or you can BUNDLE IT UP for $289 to add in a session with our Physical Therapist Sean! If you want to retest the FMS is only $89!
