Fantastic group of trainers and MAT practitioners. Ive had work done on my hips, back, shoulders and neck. I can feel my joints are moving smoothly and freely without pain. Being co-located in a gym is great because they can both treat and train, which is a huge benefit for functional recovery. I wish I could click more than five stars!

As fellow MAT Specialists, my husband, Raoul, and I really enjoyed getting to meet Glen and get some one-on-one MAT tutoring time with him. Glenn is a really friendly and funny guy with a lot of experience, and helped us improve our MAT skills with his attention to the finer points of muscle tests and treatments. We had fun and learned a lot!! Muscle Activation Fitness is in a separate, private area of the very nice Willow Bend Fitness Club. We know Glenn, Jake, Matt, and Noah will take excellent care of you and your muscle function!!

Jake took the time to understand and assess my back problem. He then began a well defined plan to improve my weaknesses which, in turn, reduced my pain. I saw progress every week, and by the end I no longer had back pain. This was an amazing experience for me as I tried several chiropractors over couple years with no success. I finished with Jake several months ago and still have no pain today!

I was introduced to Muscle Activation Fitness through a close friend that has seen Jake, Matt, and Noah. I trusted my friend and he was spot on with his experiences with his treatment. He swore by how it helped his shoulder pain from post surgery and also just pain on the other shoulder that is bad. He told me how it helped balance and strengthen his muscles.I have had experience with Jake and Matt and they are amazing. So wonderful to work with and easy to be around. But getting to the point, MAT works and Jake goes above and beyond with doing a more advanced form and technique of MAT! It’s amazing, it works on specific muscles and test and strengthen them. Regular physical therapy does not help strengthen and help balance the body like Jake does. MAT is completely hands on and can’t not be done by yourself.They position your body in a specific place, so they can isolate just one muscle and then use resistant testing to strengthen and retrain the brain to activate the muscle. That is the best way I know how to explain it, I know they are much more capable of explaining it than I am. But from my experience that’s is what has happened.They have retrained my muscles and brain to work together that no Physcisl therapy has been able to do. I have been to 2 other therapist and it is night and day difference on how much better and specifics Muscle Activation Fitness is compared to regular PT.It’s worth every penny if you are serious about getting your body back to where you want it. It can be life changing for you.

I have been to visit Jake twice now; my first visit last year was for whiplash as a result of a mountain bike fall and the second a few months ago was with a problem in my knee that had resulted from running and had been incredibly painful for about a month. In both situations, Jake had me feeling pain free within two sessions. I also sent my sister to see Jake while she was visiting from Denver; she has always had chronic neck pain and felt tremendous improvement after just one session with him. Whether you need help with an isolated issue or for chronic pain, Jake is brilliant at what he does, has invested a tremendous amount of time in learning effective techniques, and I could not more highly recommend Muscle Activation Fitness and Jake Harden.

I had significant pain and limitation of movement in my right shoulder. This seriously impacted my ability to play my viola. MAT was the only thing that helped to restore range of motion, strength and eliminate pain so I could play again. Since then my MAT practitioner at Muscle Activation Fitness has helped eliminate pain in my hip from a fall on stairs that occurred nearly 20 years ago. MAT at Muscle Activation Fitness has significantly decreased pain and improved my ability to exercise. Its even better that they are some of the most wonderful and caring people Ive ever known.

I worked with Glenn for about 9 months after tearing my labrum. Without his help I do not believe my recovery from surgery would have gone as well. He helped me understand what was going on in a way that I could understand. By far one of the greatest experiences Ive had with MAT.

I’ve been seeing Jake for MAT for about 2months to help me with some issues that I’d been struggling with since recovering from breast cancer. After having 3 different surgeries, I was left with weaker core muscles. I had been working out with cardio, weights,and bar class several times a week but I wasn’t getting the results I desired. Jake was able to explain to me that I really wasn’t working my muscles correctly because I was not engaging them correctly during my workout routine. After each hour session and daily homework assignments (given by Jake), I can honestly say I am feeling so much better. I’m doing things that I haven’t been able to do in 2 years. I’m so thankful for Jake’s patience and willingness to help me reach my goals. I’d highly recommend MAT to anyone who feels their workouts are not getting them the results they are trying to achieve or are trying to get back to their “Happy” place after an injury. Thanks Jake!😃

Glenn is awesome!! I have been working with him for a litter over 2 months. I know it is going to be a slow journey to make my body functional again, but I am excited to be able to start incorporating a little bit of exercise.

Over a period of several years I have experienced an overall weakness that negatively impacted my workout and general energy level. This year I was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. After seeking help via traditional means and not getting the results that I desired, my friend in Chicago suggested MAT. Her MAT Trainer referred me to Glenn at WB Fitness. I have been working with Glenn for a month or so. The training has given me back my strength overall as well as marked improvements in my shoulder. MAT is a game changer for me and will be part of my monthly wellness plan.

Jake and his team are fantastic. They have so much knowledge of anatomy, how the body should work and how to solve anything from injuries to mobility trouble spots and even just areas to improve current strengths. I cannot recommend MAF enough for anyone that wants to move better at any level.

I have gone to Glenn for over a year now. He has been instrumental in helping me deal with back and hip problems. Before I found MAT, I had suffered all my life with flat feet and because of the barefoot running craze I had damaged my feet so badly I was unable to walk for extended distances. Now I am back to normal and I even have arches for the first time. Glenn also consults with and provides guidance for my trainer to optimize and focus my workouts.

I have been a client of MAF for > 12 years. My experience has been stellar. All trainers at MAF are personable, highly competent, and certified in Muscle Activation Techniques. They can design fitness programs for any age, level of fitness, and degree of disability (if any). Their scheduling is flexible and adaptable to any clients needs. You simply cannot go wrong in choosing Muscle Activation Fitness.

I’ve been going to Matt Dalrymple for Muscle Activation Therapy for a year now. I am very pleased with his professionalism, ability to explain the techniques in a non-confusing way, and his impressive knowledge of MAF.He has made me feel very comfortable, and I never dread going in to work out. It’s clear that Matt cares not only about how your body feels, but your overall wellness too. I feel so much stronger and healthier ever since I’ve gone there. Highly recommend!

I have been working with Jake for about 3 years. Im a competitive 53 year old CrossFitter and his services have been invaluable to me. Muscle Activation has been able to help me with problems that no other treatment methods could. Not only does he keep me moving well, I have actually gotten much stronger in the areas that needed it most. I have recommended him to athletes at my gym, co-workers, and many others who have movement related pains or limitations. Hes the best!**Addition - 7-31-2017 - Last Friday I thought I broke my foot (stress fracture). I texted Jake and told him what I was feeling. He gave me advice and told me wed work on it at my regular visit that I have EVERY Monday. After an hour of testing and working in it, I walked out pain free, and remain so tonight. Hes not a Dr, but when my sport creates pain, hes my go to and almost everything I do to myself he fixes. Cant speak highly enough of him & his team!

Just recently when my coach noticed an issue and weakness in my back i began Muscle Activation Therapy with Glenn Haugk. I had never done MAT before i started with Glenn but within 2 sessions I quickly saw the value of both MAT therapy & Glenn as my muscle activation therapist. Immediately after each session I feel a huge improvement in my muscles and mobility.Glenn, Jake & Matt with Muscle Activation Therapy at Willowbend Fitness Club in Plano Texas are all extremely knowledgeable, kind & most importantly they always provide a comfortable environment to receive treatment.

When I first starting seeing Glenn my lower back pain was an 8 out of 10 (due to compressed disks from years of running on hard surfaces). After my 2nd session I started feeling relief. Following my 4th session my pain was reduced to a 2/3 out of 10. I now can work out at the gym regularly and am not limited in any of my activities as a result of working with Glenn. I now see him around every 4 weeks. He works on me, and I am good for another 4-6 weeks. My pain reduction was without meds or cracking my back.
