Training at LIFT:
The LIFT Method
At LIFT, we don't start with a generic workout. We start by understanding how your body moves, identifying what matters most to your goals, and building from there.
The LIFT Method is our approach to developing mobility, strength, and long-term physical capacity through individualized, progressive training.
Assess. Identify. Train. Re-test.

How Training Works at LIFT
The LIFT Method
Assess
Understand your starting point through your Functional Range Assessment.
Identify
Determine which limitations and capacities are most relevant to your goals.
Train
Develop mobility, control, strength, and capacity through individualized programming.
Re-test
Measure what has changed, progress what is working, and adjust what isn't.
Your program evolves as you do.
The LIFT Method Roadmap
Progress takes time. Your training should have direction.
The LIFT Method follows an eight-month roadmap designed to take you from understanding your starting point to developing movement options, building strength, and applying that progress to your life.
Eight months is a roadmap, not a deadline or required commitment. Everyone progresses at their own pace.
MONTH 1
Assess + Understand
Establish your baseline, identify your priorities, and build the foundations for your training.
MONTHS 2–3
Restore Mobility + Control
Develop more usable range of motion and improve your ability to control it.
MONTHS 4–6
Build Strength + Capacity
Build strength through your available ranges and progressively increase what your body can tolerate.
MONTHS 7–8
Integrate + Perform
Apply your mobility, control, and strength to the activities that matter to you.
Mobility is more than flexibility. It's range of motion, control, and the capacity to use that range in your life.
Why We Reassess
Your initial assessment is a starting point, not a label.
Throughout your training, we return to the movements that matter most to see how your body is responding.
If something improves, we progress it. If something isn't responding as expected, we adjust.
That's how your program continues to evolve with you.

Training for Equestrian Athletes
Raf works with equestrian athletes, including dressage riders, who want to improve how they move, stabilize, and perform in the saddle.
Many riders focus on their horse’s training, but not their own body.
At LIFT, training focuses on:
-
core strength and postural control
-
hip mobility and alignment
-
reducing asymmetries that affect riding
-
improving balance, coordination, and control
Whether you’re competing or riding recreationally, your body plays a direct role in your performance.
Training is designed to support your riding, not compete with it.
