The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Results—And Why It’s Not Your Fault
By Tony Cress, Certified GIFT Fellow & Applied Human Performance Specialist
Let’s get straight to it. You’ve been hitting the gym. Doing your HIIT classes. Following the plans. Eating “clean.” And yet… you’re still battling the same issues—nagging injuries, stubborn body fat, lack of energy, zero results.
If that sounds familiar, I’ve got news for you: It’s not your fault.
Most workouts weren’t designed with you in mind. They were built for the average body, based on outdated models that focus more on how exhausted you are than how well you move. And at Tony Cress Training Center here in Las Vegas, we’re here to flip that on its head.
Why Soreness ≠ Progress
Commercial fitness loves intensity. Burn more. Sweat more. Move fast. But if that were the real key to progress, wouldn’t you already be where you want to be?
The truth is:
- Soreness is not a sign of growth.
- More sweat doesn’t mean better results.
- Beating your body down isn’t a badge of honor.
Fitness should build you up—not break you down. That’s why we focus on how you move, not just how hard you move.
What Most Programs Get Wrong
You walk into a class or hit play on a YouTube workout, and it’s the same for everyone—regardless of injury history, movement capability, or daily stress.
That’s the problem.
Most training systems are built on two things: aesthetics and intensity. And while looking good is fine, and effort matters, neither of those things guarantee your joints are happy, your muscles are balanced, or your performance is sustainable.
Here’s what that usually looks like:
- Lower backs that take the hit for tight hips.
- Knees paying for poor ankle mobility.
- Shoulder pain that never seems to go away.
Sound familiar?
How TCTC Does It Differently
At Tony Cress Training Center, we’re not guessing. We build training programs based on Applied Functional Science—a 3D model that considers how your body actually moves in real life.
That means:
- Joint-by-joint strategies to create more mobility, not just more reps.
- Movement patterns that build real-world strength—not just gym numbers.
- Recovery and adaptability protocols from the Institute of Motion that help your nervous system stay on your side.
We’re not your average Las Vegas personal trainers. We’ve been educated through the Gray Institute and Institute of Motion to help you train for life—not just for looks.
If You’ve Tried Everything, This Might Be What You’re Missing
