Bryan Ausinheiler

Bryan Ausinheiler (formerly Ausink) earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of California San Francisco and his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology magna cum laude from the Honors Program at James Madison University in Virginia. He began working as a personal trainer while in PT school to expand his repertoire of exercise programming. He has trained clients from a wide range of age and ability and taught a Strength & Conditioning Class for Runners at UCSF Fitness Center. Bryan programs creative and challenging exercises to help his clients build strong and balanced bodies for a full life. His classes incorporate a variety of equipment including kettle bells, rings, ropes, sandbags, tires and many others to make fitness engaging for the mind and body. His use of functional movement patterns with an emphasis on movement quality keeps his clients functioning at their best for years to come. A class or session with Bryan takes you through the "full spectrum of human movement" from the limits of your ability to deep rest. You will leave you feeling invigorated, confident and ready to take on whatever life brings your way. Bryan's deep interest in strength and conditioning stems from a nearly obsessive passion for studying human posture, movement, and pain. Bryan practices and teaches functional fitness, strength training, metabolic conditioning, barefoot running, partner yoga, partner acro-balance, and acrobatics. He enjoys bicycle touring and commuting, rock climbing, hiking, and is an avid reader, gardener, and tinkerer. Bryan authors a blog about human posture, movement, and pain that integrates his observations of daily life both in the US and oversees with his knowledge of physical therapy related research. Pasts posts include practical advise such as "Sleeping Without a Mattress" and "The Morning Movement Checkup for Any Surface," as well as theoretical explorations of topics such as "The Human-Environment Interaction in Disability."
