Keiser, it’s Physics

CDFIT is the Charleston’s area only public access to Keiser’s functional training equipment.

Why did we bring it to Charleston?

With Keiser Pneumatic Technology, the muscles remain active and engaged throughout the entire range of motion, with reduced shock loading to muscles, connective tissues and joints, which allows for workout programs that can safely improve physical and athletic performance in ways not seen with traditional strength-training methods. Our Keiser equipment is also outfit with display screens that give you real time accurate displays of power generation, your percentage per repetition of your peak power, and current resistance and repetitions.

Which means you can move through exercise at real world speed with resistance that can be varied to 1/10th of a pound with the touch of a button. By having access to this, we can now have the ability to track performance gains and symetry throughout the body over time. Taking the guessing out and giving accurate results on performance and bringing back strength to previously injured or deficient areas of the body.

This is the same equipment used by:

Olympic training centers
Professional athletes worldwide
Top end Physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics
Military
NASA
Firefighters
And more

Try it for yourself, only at CDFIT!

As a Certified Personal Trainer over the last year, I have come to enjoy my clients success more than my own. My goal is to help my clients reach their full potential. Im not satisfied until my clients are. While working out is not the place we typically find the most exciting, I try to bring a fun new approach to getting back in shape. I am well rounded in strength and conditioning programing, weight loss, and bodybuilding. In my spare time I enjoy working out, playing golf, and traveling.

Dr. Jason St Clair is the founder and owner of RISE Rehab. He believes strongly that the ultimate
goal of physical therapy should be to get people quickly and safely out of the medical system
and back to the performance they desire. His motivation to create a model of care that respects
his belief system led him to dedicate the past 5 years seeking advanced education and
obtaining his Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist as well as a Fellowship in Orthopedic
Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT). This dedication to his training has given him the ability to
clearly identify the current source of one’s pain or primary limitations leading to the inability to
perform to their desired level. Being able to quickly identify these factors allows him to look
more broadly and to understand each individual’s unique situation and contributing factors that
have led them to seek out his care. Of equal importance, Dr. St Clair believes that every
individual must take an active role in the planning and goal setting process, which will enable
them to control their situation through his professional guidance. Dr. St Clair works with all
active individuals of varying performance levels and has a special interest working with
endurance athletes, as he was a collegiate track and field/cross country runner himself. In
addition to RISE he is also Adjunct Faculty in the Physical Therapy department at MUSC. Beyond
his career, he enjoys surfing, working out, and spending time with his wife and 5 year old son. If
you have unresolved pain or feel you are not performing to your potential, please reach out
and schedule an initial consultation.
