OUR FITNESS PHILOSOPHY
The Story of Kinetic Fitness
Kinetic Fitness was born from a simple idea: a safe space to get real results. Founded by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, we're here to help you reach your fitness goals without risking injury, and if you're recovering, we'll get you back to feeling like yourself again.
What We're All About
-
Safety First: Achieve your fitness goals or recover from an injury in a place where safety is the priority. Our PT-trainers and owner are always around to ensure proper form and answer your questions.
-
Your Fitness Sanctuary: Escape the chaos of crowded gyms. Kinetic is a capped boutique gym, offering an almost private gym experience. We will never oversell memberships! No more waiting around on people hogging equipment. We are a community that encourages and collaborated for us all to reach our goals.
-
Serious About Fitness: We're a serious gym with 24/7 access, over 50 machines, and 1,000's of pounds of weight. Whether you're bulking up, leaning out, or recovering, we've got everything you need.
What We're NOT
-
Just Another Gym: We didn't just throw a bunch of weights in a room and call it a day. Every piece of equipment is hand-picked by our owner and lead Physical Therapist to ensure safe and effective workouts.
-
A Free-for-All: Our PT-trained staff monitors the floor to ensure equipment is used correctly and safely. We don't want you abusing your body or our equipment.
Who's Behind Kinetic?
Kinetic was founded by Dr. Jason Avakian, a Physical Therapist with 35 years in fitness and 26 years in physical therapy. His personal journey with "being a skinny kid" at a young age sparked a lifelong passion for fitness and that turned into a passion for Physical Therapy. Kinetic is his answer to the misinformation and malpractice often found in the fitness world. We're all about building strong, healthy bodies the right way.
Who's Kinetic For?
Kinetic is for anyone who wants to get in shape safely or those recovering from injury and looking to regain their strength and overall fitness.

We're not competing with the big box gyms. We offer a unique boutique experience.
-
The gym and PT clinic work together seamlessly. They're two sides of the same coin.

![3 days from the brachialus/pronator tear, and I am 70% pain-free because of BPC-157 peptide given to me by @graceregenerative to help me heal. If you are ever suffering from a injury, Dr Slater is the goto doc to fix. I have referred many clients to her with 100% success with her treatments.
Not only did she help me acutely with this injury, but I had a terriable rear end Collison 5 yrs ago and thought I would never be able to work normal much less lift weights again because of "need" for a 2 level lumbar fusion. Dr Slater did prolotherapy on my spine and SIJ and I have been pain-free for almost 3 yrs, and can lift without pain.
So this post is to recognize that not all injuries need surgery as long as you have someone like Dr Slater who has natural treatments to heal the body without surgery or drugs [not used one pain med other then peptides for this injury, and have been working 15 hrs Sunday through today] to get moved in..
Thanks Doc for keeping me together!!

![When life gives you Lemons.....
Well the move started Sunday and we were off to a great start but, couldn't move the equipment in because the gym floor wasn't ready. No problem, put it outside for now.... rip....see slide 3.
Yep, tore my bicep and supinator in my forearm, Got a Leg Press for sale but it will try to kill you.
2 more days of 15 hrs of moving and I am almost finished. These pics were taken as I was bringing my squat rack over and I was just enjoying the sunset on my equipment.
2 thoughts,
1. If any of you saw my clinic gym I can't believe I had all that in there :)
2. I couldn't be prouder of all the effort it took to get it their, physically and financially. That's 10 yrs of work in front of me. From renting floor space in Crossfit North Scottsdale to the space I am leaving, next to CFNS, to end up here... it's been a amazing journey and I am looking forward to the next 25 [ stats say I have only 25 yrs left, #52whoscounting]
Again as I finish my day and leave my space on Doubletree Ranch Rd, I am beyond grateful for all of you who have trusted me to help heal ur pain and keep you in the gym... my hope is when you come for treatment in the future you will enjoy the gym YOU help build!!
P.S. slide 4 is Josh [on the truck] and Quentin, 2 man wrecking crew who helped me move all that equipment here.
New location. 9495 E San Salvador Dr, Scottsdale AZ 85258.
Thank you!!

![LEASE IS SIGNED!!!!!!!
10 yrs I have been saying I will have my Physical Therapy practice and open a gym in this building and the time has arrived. It is the beginning of a new phase of my business.
Gone [figuratively] is Kinetic Sports and Spine PT and now we will be Kinetic Physical Therapy & Fitness, which reflects my business model much better.
The lower floor will be a 7100 sq ft gym and upstairs will be the clinical offices for my PTs and other providers who would like to sub-lease space. The goal is to provide a co-op space where multidisciplinary providers can serve a "fitness focused" clientele and work collaboratively to provide excellent care outside the "traditional" Healthcare model.
Will be moving in this week and if your in the area Monday to Wednesday would love to show you around.
If you are a PT, Chiropractor, Naturopath, MD, Massage Therapist and want to collaborate and lease space DM me... if you know someone who may like a space, please fwd this post.
Looking forward to a great 2025 and a BIG thank you to all my clients for the past 10 yrs who have made this all possible.

![In LA this weekend for a 1 x a month for 6 month course on optimization of biomechanics, movement performance, and strengthening of the lower back to ankle [lower quarter in PT talk] with Dr. Chris Powers PT PhD, a leading expert on injury prevention and human performance.
What does that mean? You want less pain and better performance in the gym and in your athletics then you need better hip and leg strength.
This is more than just activation exercises and strengthening, this is precise diagnosis of the problem and targeted exercises to build the best version of you and maximize muscle development.
I am excited to be offering this system as a program to Kinetic to help my clients maximize their gains in the gym and reduce those nagging lower back, hip, knee and foot pain!!
Contact Jason for more details!!
