Diana Del Garbino opened Muscles in Motion in June 2007 with busy people in mind. She understood there are lots of ways to workout, and lots of ways to get results, but she wanted a place where everyone could get a great workout, and have incredible results, but not have to compromise their joints, spine, knees etc. Muscles in Motion applies exercise methods, that are based in science & bio-mechanics. Diana knows that her team will have you feeling wonderfully strong in a short amount of time.

Diana says “When you meet our staff you’ll see service minded people who put the clients first. We are proud of our team members from the Front Desk Associates, to our Personal Trainers. Come in for a workout and you’ll see it too.”

Why Range of Motion Is Overrated—And What Matters More

By Liam Bauer • July 14, 2025
When it comes to strength training, few concepts are as misunderstood—and blindly worshipped—as range of motion (ROM).

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • July 7, 2025
When it comes to women and strength training—especially women over 50—the myths run deep and wide.

But here’s the truth: strength training is not just for young athletes or men who want to get "jacked." In fact, if you’re a woman over 50, strength training might be the most powerful tool you have to reclaim your health, boost your confidence, and age with strength and grace.

Why the Last Rep is the Safest (and the First is the Most Dangerous)

By Liam "TAKU" Bauer • June 2, 2025
When people think about injury risk during strength training, they often imagine something going wrong during the last rep of a hard set. That’s when you’re exhausted, your muscles are screaming, and the weight feels impossible. It seems like the danger would be highest right there, right?... Wrong.
