“I liked how specific Glenn was in the video talking about exercises he does and ones he has his clients do. It was nice to have relationship between function and exercise explained. The mobility warm up was my favorite part of the workout routine and made it clear how stiff I am!” – Physical Therapist | 2019

“Offering a Pilates for cyclists session in real-time as part of the video was very beneficial.” – Physical Therapist | 2019

“I particularly liked how specific it was to cyclists- every exercise was carefully chosen and could be progressed.” – Physical Therapist Assistant | 2019

“It was very helpful! I work in outpatient orthopedics with patients that have neck and back injuries. Many of these exercises would benefit that group of people, even if a fraction of my patients are interested in cycling.” – Physical Therapist | 2019

“I will think about doing more core work in a neutral to extended position. Most of the exercises I do are neutral to flexion and most of the patients I work with are already in too much flexion. I find that I have also neglected thoracic rotation too often and this served as a good reminder!” – Physical Therapist | 2019 

“I will implement this routine into daily practice and several exercises into my rehab clinic protocol” – Physical Therapist Assistant | 2019
