Three Days Structured Around You And Your Opportunity To Learn
This learning experience is for the health and fitness professional who realizes the importance of the assessment and intervention process. You are what we like to refer to as a “thinking” professional.
Past participants have included fitness professionals, physical therapists, chiropractors and medical doctors.
For you, there are no cookie cutter exercise prescriptions. You design programs with functional individuality of the client/patient in mind.
Because of the complexity of the information, all applicants will be expected to have a solid foundation in anatomy and kinesiology and a working knowledge of biomechanics.
"My experience at the mentorship with Anthony was nothing less than mind blowing. It literally transformed the way we do business and had a profound impact on me as a Personal Trainer and individual. If you want to excel in the field of corrective exercise and haven’t adopted the function first approach then your clients are missing out on huge results. It was the best educational investment of my 7 year career and if the opportunity presented itself again I would be back in San Diego in a heartbeat."

"The 3-day mentorship with Anthony Carey has been without a doubt,the highlight of my fitness career. The mentorship completely reshaped the way I view and implement corrective exercise. I am still amazed at how much knowledge exists within the team at Function First in San Diego. If you are serious about taking your career to the next level, you MUST take advantage of this opportunity."

The quality of education I received, the vital information and resources I got through Anthony is a priceless growth for me and my business. Now I can plan and assess better my client’s routine, specifically to achieve better alignment and function of their bodies with no pain or ease the pain and eventually become pain free. Thanks again Anthony and Function First."

The Size Of The Group Is Limited For Better Learning
You will have ample time and opportunity to ask questions, experience the exercises and interact with your fellow interns.
Most people finish the mentorship feeling discouraged and overwhelmed. How's that for a selling point? But that is a beautiful thing. Because their eyes have been opened to the depth of challenges the human body presents. We know that ignorance is bliss.
Once they get back to their respective studios or clinics, they can begin to see the possibilities. They begin using the information, practicing what they've learned and changing their paradigm forever. That's when the fun really begins.
"This 3-day mentorship is a must for anyone who is passionate about helping others who suffer from muscular-skeletal pain, become pain free. Anthony has given me the keys to what real Corrective Exercise is all about: Improving your clients’ quality of life TODAY, not 3 months down the road! I am forever grateful to Anthony and Function First."
