The RecoveryAir used to be available for medical use and by prescription. The system speeds recovery by assisting in flushing the legs to remove the fluid and toxins while feeding with new nutrient rich blood. For more science see the Recovery Air site.

Using them helps! The system gradually fills from foot to upper thigh to push out, build up and then release to allow blood to flush through. This repeats over and over for the duration of your session. Here are the applications:

​Before a Massage- 15-30 minutes before your massage, the Recovery Boots will allow your body to be warmed up, lose and have less edema to make for an efficient & more effective massage.

​Before a workout- 15-30 minutes before a workout will reduce the warm-up time that often is needed  by warming up the legs and flushing out post workout build up

​After a massage- 15-30 minutes will help you flush out the toxins that often build up after the massage and lead to soreness

​After a workout- 20-30 minutes will help you flush out the toxins and edema that build up and delay recovery leading to a reduced quality and number of good of workouts

Middle of day- 40-60 minutes in the middle of the day will help you recover from the last workout. Your body has built up toxins and edema from your workouts, limiting what you can do in the future​

You can also buy your own and then shipped to you for about $1,200 here.

​Appointments are currently made through Coach Matt. Please email him with your size and time request. An online scheduler is coming very soon!!

TFP offers session to help you reach your goals with swimming.  A session can have many purposes:

• Technique Analysis – a review of your stroke to determine what you should focus on during your own workouts and suggested drills will be given.
• ​Video Taping – provides you with a visual of what you have been told and feel, but can’t see.
• ​Accountability – by having a session, you will not miss this swim workout for any excuse.

​Structured Workout – your TFP coach will design the workout for helping you reach your goals with speed, technique and/or endurance.

There are several types of personal coaching options at TFP that may work best for you. Read below to get a sampling of the different sessions that we offer. Also,  feel free to suggest activities for a truly personalized experience! Pricing is for in-studio sessions.  Should you wish for an appointment outside of the TFP studio, please email for prices.

Body Composition Analysis

Body fat percentage is an important health indicator. A skin fold caliper test will tell you what a healthy body fat percentage range is for your age/gender, as well as how much fat/weight you can and/or should lose to achieve your body composition/competitive performance goals. Regular tests should be scheduled in order to track goal progress.

Design Your Own Workout

Time to put the talk into action! Sessions will include direction and feedback with resistance training, swimming, biking, running, or cross-training (kayaking, golfing, rollerblading, mountain biking, tennis, skiing, anything else you’d like to do). Tell us what you’d like your session to entail for a fun personal coaching experience!

Range of Motion Analysis​

Stretching and flexibility is an essential part of any fitness program. TFP offers range of motion (ROM) analyses in order to assess current flexibility. Personal training sessions can include assisted and/or facilitated stretching suggestions and instruction.

Technique Analysis

For athletes seeking sport-specific advice, The Fitness Pursuit offers swim-stroke, running gait, bike pedal stroke, and weight-training technique analyses. Sessions may take place in the TFP Studio, at your home (additional costs may apply), on the road, in the pool, or in the lake.
