ABOUT US
What is First Principles?
Used by philosopher Aristotle, First Principles Thinking is one of the best ways to reverse-engineer complicated problems and unleash creative possibility. The idea is to break down complicated problems into basic elements, then reassembling them from the ground up.
It’s one of the best ways to learn to think for yourself, unlock your creative potential, and move from linear to non-linear results. Stop reasoning with inadequate analogies and see opportunities that others miss.
Why We're Different
At FP Fitness, our objective is to help individuals maximize their performance. Whether it’s on the field or in the office, when humans can operate at their genetic potential, the sky's the limit.
Poor sleep, malnutrition and inappropriate training can severely imbalance our nervous system. This damage is slow and gradual but compounds over time, often going unnoticed. Our job is to expose the root of this detrimental cycle and facilitate sustainable change.
Designing training regimens, correcting breathing pattern disorders and improving dysfunctional sleep schedules are the main areas of focus for our clients. We want your nervous system working for you, not against you. The body’s issues are rarely one-dimensional. Our coaches understand this and approach every issue with an open mind, while keeping you in the loop the entire way.
