A Great Start: One Foot In Front of the Other

Introduction Do you feel like you're meant to do something extraordinary with your life, but you're unsure where to start and how to overcome the physical, mental, and emotional obstacles you currently face? That yearning for the extraordinary is more common than you might think. Many people dream of pushing beyond their perceived limits, but feel held back by limitations, whether it's chronic pain, past injuries, a lack of motivation, or simply not knowing where to begin. At Base Factory Performance Training, we believe that everyone has the capacity for extraordinary achievement. We're here to guide you on your journey to unlock your potential, to help you move beyond those limitations and discover the extraordinary within you. Our mission is to guide individuals towards a pain-free, active, and fulfilling life by optimizing movement, building resilience, and empowering them to continuously strive for extraordinary things. The Power of Movement Movement is the foundation of an extraordinary life. It's not just about physical fitness; it's about feeling alive, capable, and confident in your body. Whether you're an athlete striving for peak performance or simply want to move through life with ease and joy, optimizing your movement is essential for reaching your extraordinary potential. Through personalized strength and conditioning programs that incorporate strength training, mobility work, and recovery strategies, we help our clients break through limitations, reduce pain, and enhance their physical capabilities. We believe that movement is medicine, and by harnessing its power, you can transform your life in extraordinary ways. Overcoming Limitations We understand that the path to extraordinary is rarely easy. Life throws curveballs. Injuries, setbacks, and emotional challenges can make it difficult to stay motivated and pursue your passions. But often, the key to achieving the extraordinary lies in mastering the ordinary. It's about consistently showing up, putting in the work, and focusing on the small, daily habits that build a foundation for greatness. I've witnessed this firsthand with my client, Phil Jacobsen. Phil, a 72-year-old father and grandfather, works full-time at Costco. He's also an avid outdoorsman who loves fly fishing and hiking. Phil initially came to me with a simple goal: to get stronger, move better, reduce his pain, and feel less fragile. He had suffered two heart attacks and various other injuries that limited his physical capacity. But as Phil began to regain his strength and mobility, his aspirations grew. He realized he wanted to do more than just feel better; he wanted to create lasting memories with his grandsons after experiencing the loss of his wife. This led him to set his sights on a challenging goal: completing the Spartan Race Beast. And he did it! Phil conquered the Beast, proving to himself and others that age and past setbacks are not limitations. Now, he's set his sights even higher, aiming to complete the full Spartan Trifecta in 2025. Despite the obstacles and the emotional weight he carried, Phil embraced the process with unwavering dedication. Through personalized strength and conditioning and a focus on pain-free movement, he has made incredible progress and is a true inspiration. Phil's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human capacity to overcome limitations and achieve the extraordinary, even in the face of adversity. It also beautifully illustrates how even small steps towards better movement can pave the way for bigger dreams and accomplishments. At Base Factory, we believe that limitations are not roadblocks, but rather opportunities for extraordinary growth.
