Silviu Gansca
Co-Owner of Redefined Fitness, 2001
Silviu is dedicated to helping clients improve their quality of life by improving their quality of movement. He has a solid foundation in movement therapy, with a specialty in Post Rehabilitation Training and Golf mechanics. He has worked with many clients who were injured and helped to rehab them to gain function and mobility. Silviu has also worked with many of the North Shore elite improving their golf game.
Silviu’s approach, grounded in Applied Functional Science from the Gary Gray Instititute, focuses on restoring proper movement by improving how the muscles interact and function through 3 planes of motion - working with gravity, mass and momentum, and ground force reactions. Most personal trainers are simply taught to train the body in 1 plane of motion, while this innovative approach is grounded in the science of physics and everyday life. We don’t live our lives moving in one direction only pushing and pulling, but rather twisting to reach for something we dropped using all three planes of motion. This is a critical difference of the methods and techniques Silviu uses with his clients.
The ultimate goal? Enhance performance, prevent injuries, and rehabilitate.
As a Nike Golf Performance Specialist, Silviu uses his understanding of the biomechanics of the golf swing to address each client’s individual need for mobility, strength, performance and overall health. He works with many of Chicago’s elite golfers to help them improve and stay at the top of their game.
