Exercise Programming

Get the structure, accountability, and expert guidance to help you break through plateaus, return from injury with confidence, and build strength safely—without guessing what to do next.

At OPTC, exercise programming is designed and overseen by Dr. Courtney Smith, DPT, combining clinical expertise with intelligent training principles to create programming that is individualized, practical, and sustainable.

This service begins with an in-person movement assessment, but your programming is delivered virtually and performed on your own schedule in the environment that works best for you—whether that is your home gym, garage, apartment gym, local fitness center, or a commercial gym like Planet Fitness.

Training Designed Specifically for You

Unlike templated fitness programs, Exercise Programming at OPTC is:

  • Individualized

  • Movement-informed

  • Progression-based

  • Built around real life

Your program is designed around how you move, your injury history, your current capacity, your goals, and the time, space, and equipment you actually have access to. That means your plan is not only effective—it is realistic enough to follow consistently.

Virtual Programming with Ongoing Coaching

After your initial in-person assessment, your workouts are delivered through TrueCoach, an interactive coaching app that allows you to access your program, view exercise instructions, track completion, and receive feedback.

You complete your workouts independently, wherever you choose to train, while Dr. Smith provides ongoing guidance, instruction, and accountability remotely.

Support includes:

  • Personalized weekly programming by Dr. Smith

  • Exercise videos and instructions in the TrueCoach app

  • Ongoing feedback and communication through the app

  • Weekly live virtual check-ins

  • Program updates and progressions as needed

You are never left guessing what to do, whether you are progressing appropriately, or how to adjust when life changes.

Who Is Exercise Programming For?

Exercise programming at OPTC is ideal for:

  • Individuals returning to training after injury

  • People stuck in recurring pain or fitness plateaus

  • Active adults who want smarter, safer training

  • Those who want expert guidance without needing in-person sessions for every workout

  • Anyone who values accountability, structure, and individualized progressions

You do not need to be a current physical therapy patient to participate.

A Natural Next Step After Physical Therapy

This is also an excellent option for OPTC patients who have completed physical therapy and are ready to transition into structured exercise.

Many people reach a point where pain has improved, movement has been restored, and the next goal is no longer just to feel better—but to build strength, resilience, and confidence. Exercise programming helps bridge that gap with a plan that is thoughtful, progressive, and tailored to the individual.

How it Works

  • Step 1

    Initial Consultation

    You will begin with a one-on-one sit down with Dr. Smith to discuss: your goals, training history, injury history, preferences, schedule, equipment and training environment available to you

    This conversation sets the foundation for intelligent, individualized programming and can be done in person or virtually.

  • Step 2

    In-Person Movement Assessment

    Your program begins with an in-person Functional Movement Assessment to ensure informed programming decisions from the start.

    This assessment allows your coach to:

    ⭐️ Evaluate your movement

    ⭐️ Identify strengths and limitations

    ⭐️ Recognize relevant restrictions or compensations

    ⭐️ Build programming around your specific needs

    Your training is built around how you move, not forced on top of it.

  • Step 3

    Implementation: Weekly Program Design

    Dr. Smith personally designs your individualized program each week tailored to:

    ⭐️ Your goals

    ⭐️ Current ability

    ⭐️ Progress

    ⭐️ Available equipment

    Programs are built to work:

    ⭐️ Within your schedule

    ⭐️ Around the equipment/space you - actually have available

    ⭐️ Travel or schedule changes

  • Step 4

    Execution: Training, Virtual Coaching

    You perform your workouts independently wherever you train best—at home, in a garage gym, while traveling, or at a commercial gym.

    Train at your pace with a program that evolves as you do. Check in with your coach virtually for:

    ⭐️ Ongoing 24/7 support & coach access

    ⭐️ Adjustments and progression

    ⭐️ Feedback, accountability and guidance

    This is where consistency builds - and where real results happen.

Train Where It Works for You

Whether you have a full gym, basic dumbbells and bands, limited equipment, or only a small amount of space, your program will be designed accordingly.
