What we offer
Functional Range Assessment
The FRA is a measurement based assessment system that provides objective measures of an individual’s movement capacity for each of their joints. We take into account what this individual does for sport, fitness, and life pursuits so that we can then provide training inputs and recommendations directed at improving the individual’s specific deficits.
Strength
We use the Internal Strength Model by Functional Range Systems to determine what your body needs and how to train it. This method allows you to get stronger & build muscle without beating up your joints- in fact, it will help them feel better than ever. In other words, we combine traditional methods of strength training with joint-specific training so that you get stronger while improving joint health, function, and capacity. We also use Functional Range Assessment to guide your individual training needs and make sure your training is specific to you.
Conditioning
We use a combination of bodyweight exercises and machines to keep workouts interesting! Our programming follows a high/low model because a good conditioning program should focus on both high intensity output and low intensity efficiency. No conditioning program should be all of one and none of the other. We also use heart rate monitoring software to make sure that you are training in the right zone and getting the maximum benefit from your workouts.
Kinstretch
Kinstretch is a joint training and movement enhancement system used to develop flexibility, maximum body control and active range of motion, thereby promoting joint health and longevity. "The KINSTRETCH system is one born out of scientific research. All of the movements and training techniques have been selected based on a rigorous investigation of evidence, conducted by physical conditioning and medical experts, as it pertains to body control, injury prevention, joint health, and physical longevity."

Client Testimonials
“The Nutrition Program (I worked with Sarah) is incredible! I spent years trying to get off the last 30 lbs of baby weight and nothing every worked until meeting and working with Sarah. She makes it easy to follow and understand and is concerned about your whole health, not just weight. I have recommended her to so many people!”
““Wow, the CARs program performed with the strength program is doing wonders for my sciatica. I haven’t felt this good in years.””
“Thanks to Grayson Strange and Basis Health & Performance, I’m able to really use my hips and legs to build tightness for my deadlift. Deadlift is the best it’s ever been and bodyweight is 20lbs lower than this time last year. Feels gooooood.”
“Before coming to Basis, I was training intensively 4-5 days per week for over a year and a half, and I had not lost any weight. I was definitely strong, but my blood pressure was high and I was carrying too much weight. Sarah helped teach me how to eat to maximize my strength training and also cut weight. My nutrition plan was individualized to my needs, and the weight came off so quickly. I hit a PR on my deadlift after losing 50 lbs, and I maintained my squat PR.”
“I came to train with Grayson with goals! To do dips again, pull-ups again, and to be able to get off the ground more gracefully. I achieved that plus things I haven’t been able to do in 20 years.”
“Mari started up in a tough place, after finding out that she was pre-diabetic, she knew she needed to make some changes but wasn’t exactly sure where to start. We sat down and figured out a nutrition and exercise plan that would work for her, she stuck to it and the weight came off easily. Not only that, but her blood sugars and health markers are back to normal and she’s feeling great! ”
