Workshop:Exercise without Injury: Evidence-Based Physical Therapy Wisdom for Your Workouts
Injury doesn’t always happen dramatically. More often it’s the accumulation of small things — pushing through discomfort, skipping recovery, or simply not knowing how to scale a movement to where your body actually is today.
The encouraging news: most training-related injuries are preventable. And you don’t need to train less to train safer.
Duration: 60 minutes | Date: Sunday, August 30 | Led by: Ariele Foster, PT, DPT, E-RYT 500 | Location: Virtual Webinar
About this webinar
On Sunday, August 30 at 6pm, Ariele Foster, PT, DPT — MINT’s physical therapy partner — is hosting a free to MINT members and staff, one-hour webinar on evidence-based approaches to exercise that let you build fitness measurably without leaving you feeling broken in the process.
The session is designed for anyone who works out — whether that’s group studio classes, personal training, strength work, or cardio. The content draws from Ariele’s clinical practice as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and her decades of experience working with athletes and movement enthusiasts at all levels.
“Tactical, evidence-based approaches to exercise allow you to improve your fitness, measurably, without leaving you feeling busted.”
What you’ll take away
The webinar covers the clinical principles physical therapists use to assess training load and injury risk — translated into practical guidance you can apply immediately. You’ll come away with a clearer framework for understanding when to push, when to scale, and how to make smart decisions in the middle of a class or session without second-guessing every rep.
This is especially relevant for anyone participating in group fitness formats, where programming is designed for the group rather than the individual. Knowing how to adapt in real time — without losing the benefits of the workout — is a skill, and it’s one this webinar will help you build.
▶ Can’t make it live? A replay will be sent to everyone who registers — so sign up even if Sunday evening doesn’t work for your schedule.
Why MINT is sharing this
Ariele Foster is MINT’s partner for in-house physical therapy, working with members through Wellilo Physical Therapy. She brings an integrative approach to PT — one that’s more personalized and more targeted than standard clinical models, and specifically designed to support people who are actively training.
This webinar is her initiative, and we’re sharing it because it directly reflects what we believe about training well: that longevity, consistency, and smart progression matter more than intensity alone. If you’ve ever modified a movement and wondered whether you did it right, or pushed through something that didn’t feel right and paid for it later, this hour is for you.
