Course Summary:
Programming Around Pain is a clinically-informed, coach-accessible system for training clients with pain.
This 2-day intensive course provides coaches with evidence-based frameworks to assess movement, modify exercise selection, and build effective programs for clients dealing with shoulder, knee, hip, and low back issues.
Rather than simply avoiding painful patterns, attendees will learn how to:
- Identify key movement limitations and tolerance thresholds
- Apply targeted mobility, stability, and loading strategies
- Navigate common post-op and orthopedic presentations within scope
- Design sessions that maintain progress while managing symptoms
The curriculum blends biomechanics, pain science, and real-world coaching application—delivering actionable tools coaches can implement immediately.
Pain shouldn’t be a barrier to training—it should be a reason to train smarter. This is a system to help coaches do EXACTLY that.

Testimonials
“I’ve taken a lot of different CEU courses over the past six years as a trainer, but the education Justin is providing through Programming Around Pain blows all of the other courses out of the water.
You won’t find a more in depth and practical workshop, that gives you everything you could need as a coach to help your clients continue to train hard in the presence of pain, and overcome their chronic pain. PROAP will be an invaluable resource for the industry, and every trainer should be equipped with this knowledge if they really want to program their clients to success.”
Grace Valentic @growthgritgrace_coaching
Coach and Owner Of Growth Grit Coaching
“Programming Around Pain was an absolute game changer for me and my coaching staff. Justin delivered complex, incredibly valuable material in a way that was clear, practical, and easy to implement—whether you’re a veteran coach or just starting out. The hands-on breakout sessions were especially impactful, giving us the confidence and tools to immediately apply what we learned with our clients. I can’t recommend this course enough for any coach who wants to better support clients dealing with pain.”
Melissa Ray Owner, Mettle And Moxie
“In the past 2 years I have taken 118 CEU credits and read probably just as many research articles. Justin did the best job at presenting the material that was covered, and I promise if you apply just half of what he talked about, you will notice increased client satisfaction.”
Dr. Guy Beachnau, PT.
Owner, Greater Heights Physical Therapy
“ProAP course fills the most glaring gap in fitness education, answering the question: What do I do when my client has pain? It’s not just theory, it’s a step by step guide to what questions to ask, assessments to complete and most importantly, what to do with that information. While other courses teach theories of pain and application of exercise, ProAP connects theory to practice so coaches and trainers can hit the ground running as soon as they get back in the gym.”
