Why mobility and flexibility matter more than you think

Mobility is not stretching. Stretching lengthens a muscle; mobility is whether you can control a joint through its range under load.

It unlocks the lifts. Most people who cannot squat deep are not weak, they are restricted at the ankle or hip. It is the cheapest injury insurance there is. A joint that can reach a position safely does not get forced into it. It shows up outside the gym. Stairs, floors, picking a child up — those are the ranges you actually live in.

Ten minutes at the end of a session is enough to make a difference within a month. Our mobility classes exist for the people who would rather be coached through it.
