Functional Training Center (FTC)

About our Strength and Conditioning Coach

Thomas

Strength and Conditioning Coach

Our Functional Training Center is not your “normal” gym. Our programs are designed and supervised by an exercise professional to provide a safe exercise environment.

Here’s what makes us unique...

  • Credentialed Coaching 

    Training sessions are led by James Morales, MS, CSCS, TSAC-F — certified through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

    The Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential is considered one of the leading certifications in strength and conditioning and requires a four-year bachelor’s degree along with passing a comprehensive examination focused on exercise science, program design, and performance training.

    The Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator (TSAC-F) credential expands that foundation into high-performance and physically demanding populations (e.g., military, law enforcement, fire service, and other tactical professions), emphasizing performance, conditioning, and resilience within their respective job demands.

    Your training is guided by someone with both education in the field of exercise physiology as well as nationally recognized coaching standards.

  • Individualized Strength & Conditioning

    No cookie-cutter workouts. No random programming.

    Every person moves differently, trains differently, and has different goals. Programming is individualized based

    on factors such as:

    • Movement quality

    • Relative strength

    • Training experience

    • Injury or physical limitations

    • Sport or lifestyle demands

    • Personal goals

    Training is progressive, intentional, and adjusted to fit the individual.

  • Coaching Experience Across Multiple Populations

    Experience that extends beyond the weight room.

    Coaching experience includes working with a wide range of populations, including youth athletes, high school athletes, collegiate athletes, active adults, and general fitness populations. Experience spans sports performance, strength development, movement training, and long-term physical preparation in both athletic and healthcare-related settings. Training is built around real coaching experience, individualized programming, and helping people move, perform, and feel better over time.

  • Collaborative Care Model

    Specialized care. Shared goals.

    One of the biggest benefits of training at Active Life is collaboration. Training and chiropractic care work together — not separately.

    Coach and doctor communication helps provide a more connected experience where patients can receive:

    • Chiropractic care from Doctors of Chiropractic

    • Strength and conditioning from a certified strength coach

    • Shared communication regarding goals, progress, and physical needs

    Services are provided by the appropriate professional working toward the same goal. This creates a more complete, coordinated, and individualized experience for the patient.
