WHO IS HERE

The team around your training.

Every one of these people is independent. They run their own practice, keep their own records, and make their own clinical calls. What is different is that they are in the room.

· PHYSICAL THERAPY

Dr. Lauren Gass

DPT, PT, LAT, ATC, CSCS,

Cert. DN

Founder & Lead Physical Therapist

IN THE BUILDING

Lauren has a dedicated office inside C2. She completed a sports physical therapy residency that included time with the NHL Dallas Stars, and she treats out of Davidson and Huntersville as well as here.

The reason this matters more than a referral card is proximity. If something is not moving right, she can watch you do it on our floor, on the equipment you actually use, in the class you actually attend. Then she tells your coach what to change. That conversation happens the same day instead of never.

· MASSAGE THERAPY

Ian Heaton

Massage Therapist

PARTNER PRACTITIONER

LMBT #23120 ·

Licensed Clinical Massage Therapist, North Carolina ·

BS Kinesiology, Elon University · NC Massage School, Cornelius

IN THE BUILDING

Ian works out of the same office as Lauren, just off the training floor. He specializes in neuromuscular therapy and sports massage, with a focus on pain management and injury rehabilitation. His approach is clinical rather than generic: a series of orthopedic assessments to find the root cause of the pain, then work built around what those assessments actually found.

He has spent eight years in health and wellness, first in personal training and group exercise instruction and now in massage therapy, so most of the people on his table are lifters and generally active adults. That background matters. He understands what you did on the floor that made the thing hurt.

The part worth hearing twice is his position on maintenance. In his words, bodywork is not just about being seen when something is wrong. People at every level use it to improve performance and lower injury risk, which is the same argument we make about training itself. If you are already working with Lauren, the two of them coordinate rather than duplicate.

RENEW SPECIALTY GROUP

·MEDICAL

Medical and hormone care

18805 W. Catawba Ave, Cornelius · Two minutes from the gym

PARTNER PRACTICE

Renew handles the medical side of the equation: hormone therapy, GLP 1 medications, peptides, NAD+, and IV therapy. We are not a medical practice and we do not pretend to be one. What we do is train the people they treat, and share what we see.

If you are on a GLP 1 medication, this partnership is the reason we can help you hold onto muscle while you lose weight instead of losing both. That is a training problem as much as a medication one, and it needs both sides talking.

• Hormone therapy
• GLP 1 support
• Peptides
• IV therapy

· NUTRITION

Elle Stuart

MS, RD · Registered Dietitian

ON STAFF

Elle is our registered dietitian and the only person here who does one to one nutrition coaching. That is deliberate. Our coaches will talk to you about protein and water all day long, and anything past that goes to Elle, because a dietitian is a licensed profession and a coaching certificate is not.

She also runs our youth athlete nutrition work, which is where most parents discover their kid has been training hard on almost nothing.

HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS

What happens when something hurts.

This is the part most gyms cannot answer. Here is ours, step by step.

01

You tell your coach

Not at the end of the cycle. That day, before class. A shoulder that has been talking to you for two weeks is a conversation. A shoulder you trained through for two months is a project.

02

Your coach adjusts the session,

not your goals

Because every format here runs on the same movement patterns, there is almost always another way to train the same thing. You are not sitting out. You are doing different.

03

If it needs a clinician, one is here

You do not get a phone number and a six week wait. You get an appointment in the building with someone who has watched you move.

04

They tell your coach what changed

With your permission, findings come back to the floor. Your programming reflects what a clinician actually found rather than what you remembered to mention.

05

You keep training the whole time

This is the entire point. The worst outcome of an injury is not the injury. It is the three months of nothing that follows it, and the habit you never get back.

WHERE THE LINES ARE

Your coach is not your doctor, and we say so out loud.

We wrote this down as policy because the gyms that blur it cause real harm. Every coach here works inside it.

WHAT A C2 COACH

WILL DO

• Coach your movement and program your training
• Talk about protein, hydration, and sleep in general terms
• Adjust a session around something that hurts
• Tell you honestly when something is outside their scope
• Connect you to the right person in the building

WHAT A C2 COACH

WILL NOT DO

• Diagnose an injury or a condition
• Build you an individual nutrition plan. That is Elle
• Advise on medication, supplements beyond the basics, or hormones
• Treat you, or tell you to skip seeing someone who can
• Guess when they do not know

Assessment before strategy.

Every time.
