Solving Back Pain at the Root
Solving Back Pain at the Root: How Passion for Fitness Treats More Than Just Symptoms
If you're dealing with back pain, you've probably tried stretching, ice, heat, or maybe even physical therapy — and you're still stuck. At Passion for Fitness, we take a completely different approach. Instead of chasing the pain, we target the true cause: how your body moves.
It’s Not About the Spine — It’s About the Hips
Most lower back pain isn’t a “back problem” at all. It's often a hip problem, a glute activation problem, or a core stability issue. When your hips are locked up and your glutes aren’t firing, your spine has to overwork — and that’s when pain shows up.
Joe Ransom, founder of Passion for Fitness, has built a proven method that starts with a Functional Movement Screen (FMS) to uncover where dysfunction actually begins. From there, each client gets a personalized plan to restore balance, improve posture, and rebuild pain-free strength.
“Joe pinpointed the issue coming from my hip alignment and weak glutes. The program he built for me worked — I’m finally pain-free and stronger than ever.”

Real Results, Not Band-Aids
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a system designed to fix the foundation — so pain doesn’t return.
- ✔️ A 64-year-old client progressed to trap bar deadlifts without any lower back discomfort.
- ✔️ A desk worker eliminated sciatic pain through core re-training and hip mobility drills.
- ✔️ A mom restored her strength post-pregnancy by stabilizing her pelvis and spine.
“I couldn't recommend Passion for Fitness enough! After working with Joe’s team for just a few months, I haven’t had a single back issue.”

with Cycle360Trainer | Passion for Fitness Exton
If you’re looking for the most effective cardio and strength training exercises in one complete workout, the Cycle360Trainer is the solution. This upright leg ergometer blends functional movement with heart-pumping intensity—delivering real-world results without high-impact stress on the joints.
Now available at Passion for Fitness in Exton and Phoenixville, the Cycle360Trainer class is helping youth athletes, adults over 40, and online clients build endurance, strength, and resilience—faster and smarter than ever before.
Train the Way You Move: Upright and Functional
Unlike traditional spin bikes, rowers, or treadmills, the Cycle360Trainer keeps you in an upright position, activating your core, hips, and upper body with every revolution.
This unique machine:
-
Reinforces better posture and gait
-
Strengthens the pelvis, spine, and core
-
Engages the upper and lower body simultaneously
-
Minimizes joint stress with low-impact cycling
And because it allows for resistance during both hip flexion and extension, it delivers a full-body workout rooted in real human movement.
How Our Cardio and Strength Training Exercises Work Together
Each class begins with a 5-minute warm-up and 15 minutes of Cycle360Trainer intervals, followed by a dynamic strength circuit that includes:
-
Kettlebell movements for power and coordination
-
Bodyweight exercises to build control and mobility
-
Core training to support stability and spine health
-
Tri-sets to create metabolic demand and movement efficiency
These structured cardio and strength training exercises are not only scalable—they’re designed to improve athletic performance, prevent injury, and carry over into daily function.
A Smarter Workout for Every Body
Whether you’re rehabbing from injury, trying to boost your energy, or simply tired of workouts that don’t deliver, the Cycle360Trainer format offers:
-
Aerobic and anaerobic conditioning in one class
-
Upper-lower body integration that improves movement
-
Safe training for clients over 40 or post-op rehab
-
An efficient way to build strength and stamina together
It’s a favorite among busy professionals, recovering athletes, and even physical therapists looking for functional alternatives to traditional machines.
Real Results. Real Strength. Real Life.
Our clients consistently report:
-
Better posture and less joint pain
