Why Not Both?
There’s an argument that runs through every corner of fitness and movement, and it always goes about the same way.
Stretch more. Stretching doesn’t work. Mobility is everything. Mobility makes you weak. Heavy squats fix everything. Squats are what broke you. Buy this $200 massage gun.
It’s exhausting. And it ignores the obvious thing: most people with chronic stiffness, restriction, or pain have more than one thing going on.
Train Without Pain starts from a simpler premise. Figure out what’s actually causing your problem, in your specific body. Then pick interventions that match.
The guide gives you both:
✔️ Specific interventions for specific issues. Exercises you can do today, targeted at the joint and tissue level.
✔️ A framework for understanding the underlying mechanics. So the work you do compounds, instead of looping you back to the same complaint six months later.
Practical, evidence-based interventions for the most common training-related aches and pains, proven in the clinic and with thousands of online clients.

Is this a replacement for seeing a doctor or physical therapist?
No. If you have acute pain, persistent worsening symptoms, weakness or numbness, or recent trauma, see a clinician in person. Train Without Pain is for the chronic, low-grade restrictions and aches that most people just live with. Jarlo wrote it specifically to address what he sees most often in the gap between “fine” and “needs medical attention.”
Will this work alongside my current training?
Yes. That’s how it’s designed. The guide doesn’t ask you to drop anything you’re already doing. It’s a reference layer underneath your existing training. Use it when something flares, use it as preventive maintenance, use it to figure out where to focus.
What if I already have one of your training programs?
Even better. Train Without Pain handles the specific-region troubleshooting our programs don’t focus on. Some clients use it to figure out what’s holding them back in a movement they’re working on inside Elements or Mobility.
What format is the guide in?
The guide is a PDF you download to any device. The videos are in a zipped file you can open on any computer and save for viewing anywhere.
As featured in:
“…transferrable ninja skills that you won’t get from reps in the gym.”
