EACHING FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT STRENGTH EDUCATION SINCE 2008
Our Dynamic Variable Resistance Training program (DVRT™) has become a standard in the fitness industry for teaching and educating fitness professionals, physical therapists, and strength coaches on true functional training. We have provided top level continuing education for over a decade and 13 countries worldwide. Our DVRT program has been a focus of top industry conferences as well, but we understand there are many questions about what DVRT really is all about. Below we are going to answer some of the top questions about DVRT, if you don’t see your question please email us at info@ultimatesandbagtraining.com
“This was one of the best training sessions I have ever attended, and I am so grateful I found you guys. You all are an incredible team! Josh is an incredible speaker, instructor and all around communicator, he kept us interested for the entire day with great information, demonstrations and humor – to ensure we were having fun. I have been watching your videos for the past year and self-teaching as much as I could, but holy cow, nothing could have prepared me for the class. I am rediculously excited to start incorporating what I learned into my own training, and then once I feel more confident, into my classes. “-Anne Mathie
Q: IS DVRT SIMPLY A “SANDBAG CERTIFICATION”?
A: We understand why many people at first glance might think that DVRT is simply a users course about our Ultimate Sandbag. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth!
“The DVRT Certification isn’t a “how to do sandbag training program”, it will completely change how you see real world fitness and give you infinite ways to solve your clients’ needs!”
– Brendan Startz, Owner Full Potential Fitness
Our goal with DVRT is to educate attendees on how the body works, how the body creates real life movement, and why we see so much dysfunction. Establishing the why’s, we create solutions in building extensive progressions of exercises. We not only cover over 20 movements that you can immediately use with your clients, we provide you the system to make every program customized for any training environment.
Whether you are training one on one, small group, or team based training, the DVRT system is designed to give you the ability to work with a wide variety of abilities while providing a customized approach. The DVRT instructional concepts provide you a feeling of almost infinite exercises, but more importantly, you learn the simple cues that provide you a huge impact to your clients’ success!
“Amazing Certification!!! The Level 1 & 2 cert was amazing! There was a ton to learn and all of the coaches were awesome. The system covered in the certification is instantly applicable and can easily be applied to what I’m currently doing in my programming to make it even better! I definitely recommend this to ALL fitness professionals.”
– Craig Shinkarik, Owner Forever Fit
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WORKSHOP AND YOUR CERTIFICATION?
A: Our DVRT workshops are a great introduction to our DVRT system and why it is so impactful to getting people results so fast and how it is so different than anything else you have experienced. Being to approximate a 4 hour program, we highlight some of our most popular DVRT drills and how they fit into the larger scheme of a functional fitness program.
The DVRT certifications are designed to help coaches or enthusiasts excel in the skills of applying DVRT. Not only do we delve into far more detailed functional fitness concepts, there is more time exposing the student to the many layers of progressions and programming of DVRT. We get into the heart of proper cuing, proper movement identification, and students are measured in their ability to apply these concepts in a written and demonstrated manner.
“I highly recommend the DVRT System and program to everyone I meet! The DVRT system has had a profound impact not just on my personal fitness but on my professional business as well! As a business owner the DVRT system is about finding solutions and identifying strategies to get my clients the results that they want. Whether it’s increased performance and fitness, or strength and fat-loss, DVRT helps identify solutions to get them to their goals.”
– James Newman, Owner of Quest Fitness, Guilford, CT
“This is a system that will forever be teaching me through feedback and evolution of movement. I’ve already improved my kettlebell skills because of the DVRT. Thank you for this great opportunity! “-With Much Gratitude,Charles
Q WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OUR RESTORATION: RESTORING MOVEMENT & FUNDAMENTAL STRENGTH, LEVEL 1: FOUNDATIONS OF FUNCTIONAL TRAINING, AND LEVEL 2: ADVANCED MOVEMENT STRENGTH CONCEPTS?
A: Each program is designed to provide the most content in both theory and application. That way each program is designed to give the most to the student. Restoration can be thought of as our corrective exercise program. We help students understand what functional movement means, how to build the proper foundation, how the kinetic chains work, progressions to increase mobility, stability, and total body strength and awareness. Restoration goes a long way to helping the big 3 joint issues of the body; knees, shoulders, and low backs.
“This was by far one of the most, if not the most, valuable CE that I’ve done since I’ve been in the industry for the last 6 years. I did the DVRT Level 1 this past January and I knew within a few minutes of being there that this was going to change the way I think about fitness. The Restoration program took that to another level and I feel like EVERY trainer/coach out there should go through it so they can understand more about the human body and a system for core progressions/screens. This was incredible. I’m also good friends with Cory Cripe and a few other Master trainers, but Cory and I live in the same city and I love talking DVRT with him. Thank you for all you and Josh have done and continue to do to help our industry!!”
“The DVRT Restoration course is by far the most thorough online course I’ve ever taken in the fitness industry! The scientific foundation for the program integrated with functionally applicable movements makes this a course that can be implemented immediately. I greatly appreciate the included videos that I can always refer back to as a resource. The detailed explanation of the movements, as well as the regressions and progressions of the movements, has helped my 30 Minutes of Everything program better progress clients. I use these DVRT principles every day!”
