  • 3 Surprising Reasons Stretching Isn’t Solving Your Tightness

    3 Surprising Reasons Stretching Isn’t Solving Your Tightness Stretching is often seen as the go-to remedy for tight muscles, but what if it’s not the solution you think it is? Here are three surprising reasons why stretching might not be solving your tightness—and what you can do about it. 1. Tightness is a Neurological Signal, Not Just a Muscle Issue Did you know that tightness can be a signal from your nervous system? Your brain may intentionally keep a muscle tight to protect a joint or compensate for weakness elsewhere. Stretching doesn’t address the root cause; it might just be fighting your nervous system’s protective response. 2. You’re ....

  • Stop Stretching. Start Solving the Real Problem.

    Stop Stretching. Start Solving the Real Problem. Stretching all the time, but still feel tight? You’re not alone — and there’s a reason for it. 😫 Why Do I Always Feel Tight? Most “tightness” isn’t about being inflexible. It’s your body trying to protect you. Here’s why: 1. Your Body’s on Guard When something feels unstable (like your hips, back, or shoulders), your body locks things up to protect you. 🧠 Your brain says: “Let’s tighten up until we feel safe.” ✅ Fix it: Build better strength and control — not just stretch. 2. You’re Overworking Certain Muscles When the wrong muscles are doing ....

Let's break down what muscle memory really is, why common misconceptions persist, and how understanding it correctly can transform your fitness results. The Muscle Memory Myth vs. RealityThe most common misconception about muscle memory is that your muscles somehow "remember" exercises you've done before.

  • Why the Number of Reps Doesn’t Matter (And What Actually Does)

    Why the Number of Reps Doesn’t Matter (And What Actually Does) In the world of fitness, “how many reps should I do?” is one of the most common questions people ask. It’s been drilled into us: 3 sets of 10 for hypertrophy, 5x5 for strength, high reps for endurance, low reps for size… but what if I told you that the number of reps doesn’t really matter? Let’s break this down—because according to biomechanics expert Tom Purvis (creator of the Resistance Training Specialist® program), reps are arbitrary unless the variables that influence them are understood and controlled. The Rep is Just a Container Think of a rep as a ....

    The Goal of Your Exercise: Are you tired of just going through the motions when it comes to your workouts? Do you feel like you're not getting the results you want, despite putting in the effort?

I can’t recommend Dominic and Theorem fitness enough! Working with Dominick has truly transformed my fitness journey.

Dominick and Theorem Fitness is a game-changer! Not only has my strength and endurance improved significantly, but I’ve also gained a healthier mindset. Highly recommend!

I have been training with Dominick at Theorem for five months now, and I can honestly say he is the most knowledgeable and meticulous fitness instructor I’ve ever worked with. He adjusts every exercise to match the individual’s fitness level and accommodates for differences in physical anatomy. He personalizes his client workouts and nutrition plans and doesn’t just follow a “cookie cutter one-size-fits-all” approach to training and form. Working with him has truly been the most customized fitness experience I have encountered to date. I lost over 30 lbs. in four months working out through one-on-one sessions at Theorem, and more importantly, my body composition changed dramatically. The accountability I have experienced through Dominick’s coaching has also enabled me to stay on track and learn to be consistent. This is not my first time losing weight, even a significant amount, but Dominick offers a balanced and sustainable approach to fitness and nutrition, with the added benefit of his expertise in science-based workouts that keep his clients safe and injury free. He is truly dedicated and 100% invested in the training he provides, and you can tell that he cares deeply about his clients’ success!

I started training with Dominick Nusdeu at Theorem Fitness and Jiu Jitsu Club in early January after responding to a random ad. At 55, I had always been interested in martial arts but was hesitant to start. From our very first session, Dominick made me feel at ease and genuinely motivated. If feel it is such a privilege to train and learn from a Black belt of Dom’s caliber. So many schools will not have a black training beginners. I want to thank Dominick for being a no-nonsense coach who pushes me to never quit. His dedication to my progress has truly transformed my life, and I can’t recommend him highly enough!
