I see massage therapy, Pilates, and chiropractic at this address — are those IMS services?
No. The IMS studio space is shared with independent practitioners — a Pilates instructor, a massage therapist, and a chiropractor — who run their own practices from this facility. They are not part of IMS coaching, and IMS does not coordinate, manage, or bill for their services. When you train with IMS, you are working directly with Jason Patterson. If you're interested in Pilates, massage, or chiropractic care, those practitioners can be contacted through their own businesses.
What happens at the free Movement Assessment?
We spend 30 minutes looking at how you move — joint by joint, without judgment. We ask about your goals, health history, and what's been limiting you. At the end, you get a clear picture of what your body needs and a specific program recommendation. No pressure to sign up on the spot.
Do I need to be in shape before I start?
No. IMS is specifically designed for adults starting from where they are. Programs are built around your current capacity and progress intelligently from there.
How is IMS different from a regular personal trainer?
Most trainers give you a workout. IMS gives you a system — built around joint health first, then strength, conditioning, and recovery. Every session is purposeful. Nothing is random. The methodology is grounded in FRC science, not guesswork.
How often should I train to see results?
Most clients see strong results at 2–3 sessions per week. You'll get a specific recommendation during your assessment, based on your goals, schedule, and recovery capacity.
What's included in the Recovery Room?
Hyperice percussion, Normatec 3.0 compression boots, Higher Dose infrared PEMF mat, Sunlighten mPulse full-spectrum infrared sauna, and a vibration plate. Unlimited access is included with every IMS coaching membership. Drop-in sessions are available for non-members.
Can I use the Recovery Room without a coaching membership?
Yes. Drop-ins are $25 a session, and unlimited monthly access is $125. Book online or call (619) 937-1434. Coaching members get unlimited Recovery Room access included free with any membership.
What's the cancellation policy?
We require 12 hours notice for cancellations or reschedules to respect coaching time and keep slots available for other clients. Late cancellations and no-shows forfeit the session.
Are memberships month-to-month?
After an initial commitment period, yes — month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days written notice. Capacity is intentionally limited, so once a spot opens it goes quickly.
Will I always train with Jason?
Yes. IMS is a solo coaching practice. You're not going to be handed off to a junior coach or sit in a group of four. That's the whole point.
