Beyond Exercise, LLC

Experiencia fantástica: I love coming here for massages with Ian. It’s become a big part of each of my training cycles and essential towards my recovery and injury prevention. Ian really knows his stuff and the whole facility offers other great services as well!

Experiencia fantástica: Can't say enough about Eric and his team of therapists. Starting seeing Eric about 20 years ago and have continued with him and his staff ever since. They have helped me with several issues over the years with much success. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank You

Experiencia fantástica: After dealing with a nasty IT Band flare up, BE’s physical therapists (Jen and briefly Ellen), personal trainers (Karissa and Liz), and Ean with the massages/active release helped me tremendously to overcome the injury, stay healthy, and improve my running by massive amounts. I’m now running faster times and more miles than I ever imagined possible. The employees at BE are all incredibly intelligent, dedicated, caring, and fun people. Their level of service is unmatched! I’m always excited for my appointments because I know I’ll get to spend time around genuinely good people who, more than anything, love to watch their clients succeed

Experiencia fantástica: Through Beyond Exercise I was able to overcome a hamstring injury that was making not only running but even walking painful. Through rehab, exercises specific to my weaknesses, and run strategizing Ryan was able to help me return to running. I able to regain strength and confidence to run my first Boston Marathon something that has been a goal of mine for much of my running career, but I was not sure was a possibility this year after getting injured.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough good things about these folks. I decided that I wanted to run the 2021 flying pig full marathon in December 2020 and thought it’d be a good idea to start working with a physical therapist to prepare. As it turns out, signing up with them was one of the single most important things I did to train, and working with them basically enabled me to finish my first marathon! They not only helped me work through injuries, but they literally took the time to teach me how to run correctly. Thanks to everyone at beyond exercise and a special thanks to both Ryan and Ean!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to BE with knee pain and IT band issues that popped up just 3 weeks before my marathon. BE jumped into action to get me back on track. Laura worked with me to improve my running form and Anya introduced me to strength exercises for my hips. Anya and I also experimented with some dry needling for my IT Band (she was gentle and made what could be an uncomfortable experience very comfortable). I followed Anya’s hip exercise regime religiously and also saw Ean for a sports massage just a few days before my race (highly recommend a massage with Ean - he worked out some tension near my hips that eliminated the pain I felt in my knee). In just a few weeks I saw definite improvement, and the race that I was sure would be a painful and miserable experience turned out to be far more successful than I could have hoped given the condition my knees were in just weeks before. Thank you, BE!

Experiencia fantástica: BE is an amazing gym, complete with PT, massage, Pilates, etc. Truly a one stop shop. I have been using their personal training services with Carly. She is attentive, creative, focused on results and not getting injured. I really am grateful for this place and people that work here. The best!!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been seeing Dr Jen for nearly a year and she’s been helping me fix issues I’ve had for over a decade. I’m feeling better everyday and can see a pain free life ahead of me, whereas before seeing Dr Jen that wasn’t looking to be in the cards. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate the BE team and facility, I’ve recommended them to more than a handful of friends and family!

Experiencia fantástica: We brought our 13 year-old son in for physical therapy and our experience at Beyond Exercise exceeded our expectations. This was his first injury, and we have no doubt having a physical therapist work one-on-one with him, demonstrating exercises and correcting his form got him back running much faster and than if we'd gone somewhere else. The exercises he learned have also stuck with him, and it helped him this fall to ensure he didn't experience a re-injury. With three boys all involved in multiple sports, I have no doubt we'll be back!

Experiencia fantástica: This is a really well run business that I recommend to all of my friends needing Pt. Lauren is the most knowledgeable PT I have ever worked with. She has given me a new lease on running!

Experiencia fantástica: Top-notch physical therapy and personal training. They have helped me increase my strength and durability while also mitigating my underlying back and hip issues. I only wish that I had started working with them much sooner than I did!

Experiencia fantástica: I found b.e. after "insured" physical therapy failed me. Have so much confidence in Eric and his team. They really treat the whole person. I felt challenged, supported and engaged in my own healing journey.

Experiencia fantástica: After multiple knee surgeries and months of struggling with recovery and PT, I happened to stumble across Beyond Exercise and decided to check it out. I wish I had found this place sooner because before BE my progress had stalled and frustrations were mounting. Within just a few sessions I had made progress and found help and support with my BE physical therapist (Laura). The facility is extremely nice, front desk is very helpful, and the one-on-one training/therapy sets BE apart from other PT facilities. I genuinely look forward to coming in, and I know that Laura is dedicated to helping me. Even though I go to school several hours away she still consistently checks in on my progress. Thank you to everyone at Beyond Exercise! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Beyond Exercise has been the hope and help I’ve needed through various soccer injuries (including 5 foot surgeries) and chronic pain. I’ve been a client here for around 7 years and seen almost each expert at some point or another. It truly is above and beyond care. I cannot say enough about not only the quality of the care, but the quality of each person here. I have found hope in some of my hardest times from their thoughtful, genuine, caring guidance. When Dr’s gave no options, Eric, Laura and the team always had a step, which is all I needed to keep going. I’m forever grateful for Eric (his vision for a unique physical therapy approach) and the rest of the team that makes it happen!

Experiencia fantástica: I decided to give a BE a try for physical therapy as a word of mouth referral from multiple friends in the running community that have been treated at BE. I worked with Dr. Laura to get healthy and pain-free in the middle of a build up/marathon training. She was professional and our visits were productive and fun! BE exceeded my expectations of the care for several reasons. 1. They are highly specialized and actually care about keeping you moving in the activities that you enjoy. 2. The model of care they utilize allows them to provide more individualized care. Their providers have freedom to use their knowledge and expertise to customize a holistic treatment plan. 3. Most importantly, everyone there is friendly and you can tell they enjoy their coworkers and their work. I have transitioned from PT to training in their gym under Coach Carly's direction and I can already tell a difference from where I was 3 months ago. I wouldn't go anywhere else for your PT & strength training needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Nothing but great experiences at BE. I have primarily worked with Jen and done "regular" PT and dry needling. She listens to my concerns and comes at the problems a few different ways. Dry needling has long been a key to my recovery and I'm glad that BE / Jen provide it. I also like that she's a serious athlete, too, and so she connects with what I am trying to do, even as I age. I use BE for rehab AND pre-hab. Ideally it will be more of the latter! I highly recommend Beyond Exercise. (And I also highly recommend Ean for great deep tissue massage.

Experiencia fantástica: Laura has been my physical therapist for the past few months for TMJ related pain, and she has been amazing!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Beyond Exercise for almost 3 years now, have used almost every service offered, and I don't know how I ever lived without this place! The people are top-notch and the individualized attention you get here blows all other physical therapy I have done (and trust me...it's a lot) out of the water. Not only will BE help you recover from your injury, they will help you get back to the sports and activities you love. I went from being told by a doctor I should "probably just give up running" to PRing multiple races this past year PAIN FREE. On top of all of that, I have the confidence and strength to excel at other activities and sports I love (snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, rock climbing) because of the help from BE physical therapy and the work put in with the trainers.

Experiencia fantástica: I started running with the BE Run Project in January 2019 which was the season that resulted in my Boston Qualifying race! I started having some nagging knee and hip/glut discomfort and started seeing Jen Schimdt for PT. She was fantastic and after addressing some of the smaller pain issues through massage, home exercise and dry needling she recommended I do some deep core work. I had never really addressed my deep core after having children (my youngest was almost 7 years old at that time... yikes!) and had no idea that my lack of core strength was contributing to my pelvis being misaligned and therefore my knee/hip pain. Jen gave me some basic strength moves to do at home and recommended I work with Katie Kezele, BE pilates instructor. I did about 8 private pilates sessions with Katie and was amazed at the results. She taught me how to breath with my diaphragm and to engage my deep core/pelvic floor muscles in order to load my abdominals correctly for the moves we were doing. We worked pelvic floor, deep low abdominal muscles, hips/gluts. arms and upper back. We did a mix of mat and reformer work that Katie tailored each week to my progress. Jen and Katie made such a great team in talking through a plan for me. Both of them are super knowledgeable and passionate about women's health, especially postpartum health & pelvic floor. I highly recommend!!

Experiencia fantástica: BE was recommended through a Friend for my running injury and I was a bit skeptical, but I have to say now I regret putting off my first visit. Jen was truly impressive with her knowledge and recommendations. The entire place seems very committed to your personalized wellness journey. I am actually looking forward to next visit!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Jen for about a 5 weeks as I work through a long and arduous hamstring tear injury. She has given me so many drills and things to work on at home, and I am finally back on my way to running! She really knows her stuff and has been great at answering all of my questions and also with communicating via email when I have a question before my next appointment.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Jen at BE for the past 5 weeks for a running injury in my hip. What seemed like a daunting task to get back to running full time, no longer feels that way. She is very courteous, genuine, and encouraging. I would highly recommend her and BE for anyone in a similar position. Thanks Jen!

Experiencia fantástica: Beyond exercise is amazing. Great little spot with big benefits. Extremely knowledgeable staff and easy to schedule. No judgements. Just get to the root of the problem and get to work. My PT, Ellen, is a pleasure to work with and she knows her stuff!

Experiencia fantástica: I started going to Beyond Exercise for dry needling and PT with Dr. Jennifer Moehring-Schmidt, PT and have expanded to training sessions with Jason. Dr. Jen has carefully curated my treatment plan from Day 1, clearly communicating her diagnoses and course of action. What I love and appreciate most is that the discussion is always around getting me back to doing everything I want to do, as often as I want to do it. There has never been a plan that involves limitations. We've expanded needling from one knee, to both knees, back to one without question. I trust her and she has been an integral part of my decision making for other treatments and imaging. If I could go to Jen for everything, I would. I decided to expand to training to take my game to the next level, but it has helped with my recovery and strengthened muscles that no one else talks about but are critical to peak performance. My muscles simply don't get tired and sore like they used to. And Deanett is the best.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m training for an Ironman and was in desperate need of a bike fitting. I am a Physical Therapist myself and don’t trust just anyone with my care. Ellen Foster at Beyond Exercise is an expert in the field and took the time to evaluate my biomechanics. Ellen made sure that I did not leave without the proper adjustments. I went from biking 40 miles with extreme lateral foot pain, to absolutely zero pain in my first attempt at biking 70 miles after my fitting. The name says it all, not every therapist is created equal and their manual skills and ability to think outside the box is way beyond just exercise.

Experiencia fantástica: My massage with Ian was the best I’ve ever had. I went in due to headaches and he worked my neck, shoulders & back like never before. Somehow he made it relaxing despite the deep tissue work he was doing on problem areas. I was headache free after that for months! He knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: After spending years trying to ease an achy back through chiropractic adjustments, the manipulations and exercises provided by Eric and Ellen have me pain-free after only three visits in the last year. Instead of relying on twice-monthly adjustments, I feel so empowered to control how my body feels. The upfront cost may be more, but the overall cost is so much less.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve seen a dozen different chiropractors and physical therapists for my lower and upper back pain. None of them were able to make significant change for me until I discovered Beyond Exercise. Eric has a level of understanding of the body as a system and skill in working it into balance that I haven’t seen anywhere else. He doesn’t assume the answer but spends time understanding the problem systematically and thoroughly. It’s not just about aligning bones and telling me to have better posture. They gave me a new paradigm to strengthen myself at home and in the gym to get me on a path to chronic wellness. I endorse!

Experiencia fantástica: I was first introduced to Beyond Exercise through the running group. I always noticed them while I was out running on my own, they were always the most polite people I passed! Once I joined the training group I joined a family. Everyone at BE is amazing and will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. 6 weeks before my first marathon I had a minor injury. Ellen was an amazing physical therapist that helped me get stronger and gain confidence in my ability to finish the race! While some other PTs might have encouraged me to just rest and wait for next year, she knew how important this race was to me and she is a big reason I was able to finish the race painfree! I highly recommend everything that BE does! You really can’t go wrong!

Experiencia fantástica: Wow...Can't even begin to express the amazing experience I have had with Beyond Exercise! I had suffered from chronic right knee pain for several years after having kids. The pain was enough to send me to a traditional physical therapist. I trusted their diagnosis and went about completing the exercises they gave me. When the number of visits insurance would cover was up, I stopped going...but also thankfully my knee was feeling better...for a time. Fast forward a few years and the knee pain flared up due to an injury. I went in to see Eric who took the time to thoroughly assess my condition...not just my knee, knowing there could be other root issues. After just that first therapeutic session, I left feeling much less pain than I had when I walked in. My knee is now in great condition and I have been so impressed with the staff there at BE. Eric took the time to really understand what was happening and diagnose the root issue of my knee pain. I felt listened to, understood, and cared for throughout the therapy process. I would HIGHLY recommend Beyond Exercise to anyone looking for treatment of the whole person, and for a friendly, attentive, and personable experience!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Eric Oliver since he opened his business with incredible results. He takes his time diagnosing and fixing what is happening with your body, never making you feel rushed or overlooked. I have recommended him over and over to friends and family. We are lucky to have beyond exercise in our community!

Experiencia fantástica: I have seen both Eric and Jen at Beyond Exercise, and they are both phenomenal physical therapists and have helped me overcome various running injuries. Besides the treatment I have received in the office, both Jen and Eric provided me with a lot of strength and stretching exercises that I could do at home between appointments. The staff at Beyond Exercise want to see patients heal as quickly as possible and will provide patients with various resources in order to do so. I recommend Beyond Exercise to anyone looking for a PT they can trust.

Experiencia fantástica: I have gone to Beyond Exercise for physical therapy and strength training and both have been a very positive experience. The staff go above and beyond to help you rehab your injuries and are truly invested in your recovery. Not only did they help me through my current injury but they also gave me a home workout plan of stretches and exercises to keep me running pain free! I highly recommend Beyond Exercise to anyone looking for experienced staff who truly care about making you stronger and healthier.

Experiencia fantástica: I have worked with various PTs at BE and have always been very satisfied. They're always up to date on the latest techniques & science and are able to customize therapy to my unique needs. I live in Dayton but make the drive as I would not want to work with anyone else. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend Eric Oliver! He is a really good listener and a gentle but strong physical therapist. Hes helped me with my hands, legs and back several times over the last few years. Thanks Eric!

Experiencia fantástica: I have gone into Beyond Exercise for PT, strength class, and running group. Everything about this place has a family feel to it. The staff truly does go above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of. Small injuries always seem to pop up over the course of the training season and these guys always work incredibly hard to get you back to 100% and out on the road as quickly and safely as possible. I have also learned to do a better job of injury prevention which has now become a staple in my training. Won’t find a more dedicated and knowledgeable group in the industry!

Experiencia fantástica: They’re amazing! I saw jen and she was able to diagnose my neck and hip problem right away. She did dry needling on my trapezius muscle and I feel so much better today like a huge weight has been lifted. Finally feel like I have some hope! Excellent place for those suffering from pain

Experiencia fantástica: My hamstring was bothering me after running a half marathon. Ellen worked with me to access the problem, highlight my weaknesses and put me on a program to return to running. Ellen followed up with me a few weeks after my appointment to make sure everything was going okay. I highly recommend Beyond Exercise for treating any sustained injuries!

Experiencia fantástica: Eric has been a blessing. After my first visit I felt better than i did after 8 visits to a Tri Health facility. I have gone to physical therapy where the therapist worked with me and 2 other people at the same time! I wasnt even sure if i was doing my exercises correctly. Well that didnt happen at Beyond Exercise. I got the one on one attention that i deserved and an exercise plan unique to me and my specific needs. It was so refreshing to have a therapist that was knowledgeable and attentive. I highly recommend Beyond Exercise. You wont be sorry!

Experiencia fantástica: I've gone to BE for PT, personal training, and a gait analysis. All of the professionals are terrific. Jen (PT) and Jason (trainer) have truly gone above and beyond to make sure that I recover from an injury and am able to return to running stronger.

Experiencia fantástica: Best place in Cincinnati for physical therapy and personal training. Fair pricing. Passionate and friendly people. They will get you the results you want.

Experiencia fantástica: Kind, caring, compassionate, helpful, competent, group...@53 and being around the fitness world my whole life, I learn something new every time I work with their team! Great group!!

Experiencia fantástica: Well run operation with expert Physical Therapists and Personal Training. They helped me heal from painful lower back issues that I developed from a sports injury and worsened by sitting at a desk all day.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent, and affordable, resource for a holistic approach to fitness. I’m continually impressed with the teams knowledge and passion.

Experiencia fantástica: I started visiting Beyond Exercise (and Eric) at the original location in Hyde Park square. Eric is extremely professional and knowledgeable and helped me with a shoulder issue. After some time, I continued to face issues with my shoulder and started having back and groin issues. In their new office in Oakley, I started seeing Jen who is phenomenal. I really enjoyed visiting Jen each time (even though she was sticking me with needles!)...extremely knowledgeable and fun to chat with during some necessary, painful sessions. I also saw Jason for some personal training to correct some posture issues I had...I had been lifting heavy weights my entire life (from High School until about 38-39), which caused all my injuries. He completely changed my routine to lower weight with a focus on back and legs. Everyone at BE has been great to work with and I highly recommend giving them a try.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been struggling with back pain for many years. Ellen has shown me a different approach to strengthening my back and getting out of pain. I am beyond thankful! Mandy

Experiencia fantástica: Beyond Exercise is seriously one of the best places to compliment your running, cycling, endurance training or just overall fitness. I had heard about it from many different running acquaintances but never called until after I was hurt and needed Pt and conditioning....it has been a fundamental part of my training ever since....my only regret is I didn't start when I first heard about it. Eric and the entire staff are amazing....they take serious interest in you and your goals and work hard to help you accomplish them.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s called the “BE” run project for short but really its an “A+” training program. Mike, Leslie, Laurah, and Rick do an amazing job stategically planning out the 18ish weeks. They are all so knowledgeable but active runners too so they truly practice what they preach. Easy to find your niche as they have pace groups ranging from the sub 3hr marathoners to the walkers.

Experiencia fantástica: I trained for the Philadelphia Marathon with these folks in the autumn of 2017. The training director is very knowledgeable and works hard to develop a detailed training strategy for full and half marathon preparation, and also manages to get to know everyone on a first-name basis. The coaches are extremely supportive and don't hesitate to share their experiences and offer advice. Each water stop during training seasons is every two to three miles, and almost always occupied by a coach or volunteer in case somebody needs attention - something you will not find with other local training groups. I have never regretted running with the #BERunProject and will use them for spring marathon training in 2018!
