BACKGROUND
Ambrose Coleman is a highly-respected expert in the field of strength & conditioning and injury rehab. Before opening Modern Fitness, Ambrose worked along side of some Dallas/Fort Worth’s top physicians, chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons to rehab all types of medical conditions, helping injured workers and auto accident victims find complete relief from pain. He is recognized by his peers as being the speed & core guru because of his in-depth knowledge and ability to properly evaluate and teach complex athletic skills. After spending 12 years working in a traditional medical setting, he noticed the increased interest in recreational athletes (runners, cyclists, tennis, multisport, golfers, etc.), and a common set of injuries bothering these types of athletes. Unable to respond in a traditional medical setting he opened Modern Fitness. Now, not bound by insurance companies, limited thinking medical directors, or high volume patient loads, Ambrose and his team of Kinesiologists are consistently meeting the performance needs of today’s athletes. Since then, he has worked with all types of athletes (youth, recreational, colligate, Olympians, & professionals), locally, nationally and internationally. He has earned the respect of them all because of his creativity, passion and commitment to understanding sports movements. His dedication to excellence has earned him the title of muscle-guru.
