What attracted you to be a part of Muscles in Motion? Muscles in Motion opened in June 2007 with busy people in mind. We understand there are lots of ways to workout, and lots of ways to get results, but I wanted a place where everyone could get a great workout, have incredible results, but not have to compromise their joints, spine, knees, etc. With our Muscles in Motion methods, which are based on science/biomechanics, we know that we will have you feeling wonderfully strong in a short amount of time.

What kind of contribution do you feel like you’re making to people’s health?  Just look at any of our clients and you can see the difference. Some are playing more golf, some are playing better, some are carrying their own luggage for the first time in years, others have more energy, some are helio-skiing, dancing and playing better basketball & golf. What they all have in common is enjoying a higher quality of life.

What personal goal for the future do you want to share with us? As an owner, I want to provide jobs to those in the community. When you meet our staff you’ll see service-minded people who put the clients first. We are proud of our team members from the Impact Officers, to our Strengthologists. Come in for a workout and you’ll see it too.

Patrick Long

Strengthologist

Certifications

  • American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer
  • American Council on Exercise Certified Orthopedic Exercise Specialist
  • Functional Movement Systems, Level 1

Interests: Sports, including martial arts, running, obstacle course races and football (GO SEAHAWKS!). I also enjoy music and reading, and most of all, spending time with my family.

What attracted you to work at MIM? When I was beginning my career in the field of Personal Training, I figured I would have to “learn the ropes” at a large box gym, and work my way up to somewhere that placed its value on the importance of the client, not the price the client pays. I was blown away from my very first interactions with MIM. The customer service alone made me know this was the place I had to be, and as I continued to learn about strength training, I knew this was the right fit. I feel very lucky that I had the opportunity to start my career at the place where I had originally hoped to end up.

What kind of contribution do you feel you’re making to people’s health? The more I’ve learned about strength training, the more I realize that everyone should be doing it in their own capacity. I’ve learned that there are no non-responders to this style of training. As such, I’m driven by the notion that I am helping people live the lives they desire, and feel healthy doing it. Wether its people looking to prepare or recover from a surgery, setting an athletic goal they never thought they’d achieve, or age gracefully and feel better in their busy daily lives as parents or grandparents, I’m inspired by the opportunity to be of service.

What personal goal for the future do you want to share with us? I want to continue to learn about the field of Health and Fitness so I can continue to aid people in their own journey of well being.

Interests: Hiking, Archery. Backpacking, and watching Mixed Martial Arts. And of course, doing all the above with my fiance

What attracted you to work at MIM? During my time in university, I discovered the philosophy of high-intensity training after reading Mike Mentzer’s book Heavy Duty Training. I started using this low-frequency and low-volume training originally to save time around my busy school schedule. When I was nearing graduation, I was excited to see a training studio (Muscles in Motion) that practices this science-based approach and I applied it instantly.

What kind of contribution do you feel you’re making to people’s health? By training people to be strong, we are drastically improving the quality of life. I see all strength training as functional because it ensures that people are able to keep pursuing an active lifestyle.

Interests: playing and watching sports but especially Seattle-based teams, brain games (Wordle) and learning, hiking through the PNW, hanging out with friends and family.

What attracted you to work at MIM? I was first attracted to MIM by their knowledge-based approach to working out. I had previously worked on eccentrics in my personal workouts but never to the extent of how MIM does it. After getting my butt kicked in my first workout, I have been hooked since.

What kind of contribution do you feel you’re making to people’s health? I feel that I can meet people where they are on any given day and help them achieve new heights in the gym for the 30 minutes that I work with them.

What personal goal for the future do you want to share with us? I wish to hone my craft in the field of strength training and personal wellness in order to help people become more able in their daily lives.
