Peak Performance with Dramatically Less Pain

Bridging The Gap Between Performance & Health

Strength & Physical Structure

Strength is a key factor in physical health and well-being. Increase your capacity for any activity by building robust, total body strength to ensure pain-free training and the ability to perform optimally with each exercise or movement!

Flexibility & Range of Motion

Unlock the full potential of your muscles. Flexibility is essential to keeping your body healthy, strong, and energetic. We build balanced strength across all muscle groups through consistent stretching, allowing you to move more easily and gracefully while reducing unnecessary pain when performing activities. Mobility then takes that newfound flexibility & provides active strength to the end ranges.

Stability & Joint Integrity

If you want to develop an unshakeable, solid foundation of movement, core, and corrective exercises are the answer. We'll build strength while creating control in your trunk and balancing the essential muscles surrounding your joints - this is crucial for functional mobility, free from pain or instability when producing force during movements. Altogether, we will reach stability & joint integrity so you can move with control & the confidence to express your full potential of power safely.

Cardio & Conditioning

Take your training up a notch by incorporating both cardio and conditioning. Cardio describes steady, rhythmic movements over an extended period, while conditioning is about pushing yourself further with strength exercises in repeated sets that help you build work capacity to improve overall performance.

New Year, New You, Same Old Injuries

Monday, January 1, 2023
Month 1 - Fresh Start
It's the first day of the new year, and you've made a resolution for life change. You're determined to make this year count. You start your journey towards a healthy lifestyle by joining a gym and changing your eating habits.

Month 2 - Unstoppable
You're on a mission; your body feels different, your mindset is improving, and nothing will stop you this year. It has been two months, and working out and taking care of yourself has been life-changing. You know it's only the beginning, but you are proud of what you have achieved so far.

Month 3 - Burnout
You feel a little different this month; your body is starting to hurt from past injuries, and you don't feel as motivated when you step foot in the gym due to burnout. The doubt is beginning to kick in if you are really going to change your life this year, so you push even harder. You switch routines and start working out more intensely.

Month 4 - Injury
Switching routines helped you break past the doubt, but the intensity has taken a toll on your body. Your lower back hurts when you squat, and you have trouble bending over. Both shoulders hurt when doing any movement, and you decide you can't continue to work out in pain. You take a two-week break that turns into a "I'll start again next year" and wonder what you did wrong.

Testimonials From My Clients

I have been in and out of physical therapy for the last 3-4 years, especially while I was a gymnast due to constant hip and back pain. After I had to stop gymnastics, I turned to weight lifting to stay active and in shape but my hips were still always hurting. Meeting with Kirk was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health because I was pain-free after just one session! He really takes time to try and understand what is going on and takes on a different approach to feeling better than all other physical therapists I’ve been with. His exercises have not only helped me in the gym with my lifts, but I can also go about my day much more comfortably without having the slightest hint of pain. Everyone needs to see plus one fitness💪
Ameila PopWeightlifter / Gymnast
I have been working closely with Kirk Simpson over the past 2 years, which has proved to be the absolute best investment I could make for both my health and improved quality of life. He has been able to guide me through both old and new injuries from years of riding and racing bikes at a high level, including life’s hard knocks. With many well thought out techniques gained from being an excellent athlete, including an employee in the Physical Therapy field, he has helped me work on physical imbalances and mobility issues that haunted me and held me back, contributing to chronic pain. He is hands down both a consistent and fervent athlete of advanced strength training in the gym, so he practices what he preaches! Mostly, what impresses me about Kirk is his uncanny, intuitive ability to guide your body from weakness or injury to a place of strength and confidence…Truth.
Mark McKenneyMountain Bike enthusiast & competitive racer
Kirk is probably one of the best Trainers/fitness coaches in Northwest Arkansas. He is not only extremely knowledgeable on fitness and mobility, He is also extremely passionate about his craft. Kirk has fixed my form on many lifts, Has helped me reach my desired body fat percentage, and has also made me passionate about lifting and working on my health. I recommend Kirk as a personal trainer due to how well he understands this subject and he is also extremely flexible. If you are considering Kirk, start working with him asap.
