pure conditioning services

Our integrated exercise, nutrition and biohacking programs use breakthroughs to create superior results, with only 2-3 visits per week.

Personal Training

The cornerstone of how Pure Conditioning produces superior results in less time. Several different exercise methodologies combined to create safe, effective and time efficient workouts. Training sessions are one on one exclusively, and are administered in a private (Stamford) and semi-private (NYC) environment to facilitate full concentration of work performance by the client and instructor to focus on form discrepancies, coaching, and motivation in an time efficient manner without distractions from others or waiting for equipment. Sessions last 30 minutes, and the client moves quickly from one exercise to the next with minimal rest, maximizing both the benefits from strength training and cardiovascular work. Clients hold standing appointment times, 1-3 times per week.

Virtual Personal Training

In many ways similar to that of a live workout in our NYC studio or Stamford Solarium. Clients connect with instructors using facetime, whats app, or facebook messenger. Clients have the flexibility of training from home, office, vacation spots or hotel rooms/gyms. Kaatsu bands are used as a tool to enhance the stimulation of the muscles using much lighter weights and with more minimalist equipment effectively. Clients maintain regular standing virtual appointments similar to live sessions and/or include virtual sessions to make up for live sessions when out of town on business, or vacation.

Assisted Stretching

One-on-one stretching is about identifying tightness and imbalances in your body and customizing a stretch routine that is just for you. Our clients may come in with pain, tightness or specific focus areas, but they keep coming back and commit to their flexibility journey once they experience the freedom that comes with having a wider range of motion and flexibility.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF stretching) is one of the main methods we use in our one-on-one stretches. Basically, your instructor will put you in position and ask you to contract certain muscles and hold the contraction for a few moments. This advanced form of stretching is very beneficial in increasing range of motion and getting maximum benefits. Static stretching is holding a stretch for a set amount of time. Dynamic stretching includes some sort of movement associated with the stretch. We use a combination of these methods during every session.

Medical Massage

Massage therapy aims to provide relaxation and stress relief. It uses techniques such as Swedish or deep tissue massage. Medical massage, on the other hand, is a treatment that focuses on providing therapeutic benefits, in order to reach specific goals.

Medical massage therapy treatment will factor into a larger treatment plan that is based around your health needs.

The therapist may use various techniques during your treatment session. They may incorporate deep-tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point work, various movement therapies or passive-resistive stretching techniques.

Medical Massage:
Medical massage can be used to treat a number of conditions, including:
● Whiplash.
● Herniated Discs.
● Sciatica.
● Scoliosis.
● Headaches.
● Back Pain.
● Muscle Sprains.
● Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders.

Cold Plunge

Cold Water immersion as practiced at Pure Conditioning at the Solarium encompassed doing deep breathing to prepare the nervous system followed by a Cold Plunge in 45-60 degree water for 2-5 minutes.

Far-Infrared Sauna

Sauna use has dated back well over 3000 years, as The Mayans were known to have “sweat houses” and has been a staple of Finnish culture for centuries. The benefits of far-infrared saunas take it one step further. You know when you go outside on a sunny day and feel the sun’s rays penetrating your skin, that is the far-infrared spectrum of light from the sun penetrating your skin 1.5-3.5 inches. The tissues selectively absorb these rays in a process called resonant absorption. This “resonant absorption” causes toxins such as metals and plastics to be excreted from the body through the sweat; It is a potent detoxification device.

Far infra-red sauna is a tremendous tool to improve cardiovascular conditioning. When the heat hits your skin your body produces large amounts of nitric oxide which opens up and relaxes blood vessels improving blood flow, reducing tension on the heart. It has been shown to cut heart disease risk in half in 1-2 sessions per week and even greater reduction if done 4-7 days per week.

Acupuncture/Dry Needling

Acupuncturists insert very thin needles into specific points on the body based on their knowledge from traditional chinese medicine (TCM) to stimulate energy flow within the body, whereas dry needlers use thicker needles that target trigger points within muscles to relieve tension and decrease pain.
Diagnosis for acupuncture involves determining any imbalances in internal organ systems based on the patient’s symptoms and tongue/pulse pattern assessment results.
However, diagnosis for dry needling requires careful palpation of muscles by practitioners. They use their hands or special tools such as electrical stimulator devices to detect trigger points within muscles.
These trigger points may require further intervention with needle insertion. This is done by applying pressure with practitioners' fingers or thumbs onto those areas until they release the tension held within them.

Nutrition Consultation

Nutrition consultations include an initial and ongoing evaluation of dietary habits through keeping a food journal and maintaining regular communication with consultants to maintain accountability and continued improved perspective on food choices and their effects on blood sugar, blood pressure, mood and fat loss. We incorporate several different dietary approaches including but limited to Keto, Low Carb, Carb Cycling, Intermittent Fasting and Prolonged Fasting to create the best short and long term results.
