MyoFitness began as a personal-training company, but the mission has always been larger than helping people complete workouts.
Founder Tim Schilcher wanted to help people build bodies that could continue working, performing, and participating in life.
For more than 30 years, Tim has coached adults, athletes, older adults, corporate employees, people with physical limitations, emergency-service professionals, blue-collar workers, and clients seeking weight loss, muscle gain, improved movement, and better health.
That experience taught him that most people do not need more random exercises. They need the correct exercises, an appropriate progression, personalized nutrition, accountability, and a program that considers the entire person.
Training should create enough challenge to produce improvement without creating unnecessary wear and tear.
MyoFitness programs therefore address: Corrective exercise, Strength, Muscle, Cardiovascular fitness, Mobility, Balance, Agility, Coordination, Controlled power, Nutrition, Recovery, Occupation-specific performance, Sports performance, Long-term physical capability.
Tim played football from grade school through college. His athletic background taught him the importance of preparation, strength, discipline, teamwork, and physical performance. It also showed him how repetitive training, contact, injuries, and poorly designed programs can affect the body over time. Those lessons helped shape Gain Without Pain and the Body That Lasts System.
As an NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, Tim uses movement observations, mobility work, activation exercises, flexibility, strengthening, and exercise modifications to help clients move more effectively. MyoFitness does not diagnose or medically treat injuries. Training is adjusted around the client's abilities, limitations, and professional medical guidance when applicable.
As an NASM Performance Enhancement Specialist, Tim applies strength, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, conditioning, recovery, and progressive program design to athletes and active adults. Performance training is not only for professional athletes. Adults also need performance qualities to climb stairs, carry groceries, work demanding jobs, prevent falls, play sports, travel, and remain independent.
Longevity coaching at MyoFitness does not involve diagnosing disease, prescribing medication, ordering laboratory tests, or practicing medicine. The MyoFitness approach focuses on the trainable physical and lifestyle qualities that support a strong, capable life: Strength, Muscle, Cardiovascular fitness, Balance, Mobility, Healthy body composition, Nutrition, Recovery, Sustainable habits, Physical independence.
MyoFitness currently has five trainers with different coaching and fitness backgrounds. Tim leads program development, app-based coaching, virtual consultation, corporate programming, and the overall MyoFitness methodology. The training team provides in-home coaching throughout greater Pittsburgh.
