My normal warmup would include foam rolling and a little bit of static stretching followed by some dynamic stretching. I believe that...

Michael Kuang is the owner of Syphon Fitness. He started the business in Miami to further his passion for health and fitness. Michael has worked with a variety of clients and helped educate about health/fitness and created effective workouts for each one.

Michael’s quest with health/fitness started in 2004, when he decided that he needed to live a more healthy and active lifestyle. He started learning as much as he could about nutrition and exercise. It was quick to see how being healthy can dramatically change his outlook on himself and his life. His hard work and dedication paid off, and he decided he wanted to help others with the journey. Michael was certified with the National Academy of Sports Medicine* in 2007, and hasn’t looked back since.

Mission Statement

People of all ages want to get in shape, either for general fitness or a sport specific program. But, what can you do if you are injured or don’t have the proper posture to perform at an optimum level? Have you ever given up on working out or playing a sport because of pain in a muscle or joint? No matter what age you are, any postural imbalances or injury can further worsen or cause other injuries. Especially in today’s deconditioned society. It is a big obstacle to overcome, which is why all fitness programs should start at a level suited for your needs and abilities. A proper fitness program takes you through different progressions adjusted for each individual. NOT an “out of a box” or “one size fits all” program. .
