About Bill Busch

I have worked in the fitness industry since 1985. From Fitness and Personal Training Manager to Group Exercise Instructor I have functioned in all facets. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition and Food Science from Wayne State University in Detroit, my hometown. Most importantly, for the past 30 years, I have continued to educate himself as a fitness professional obtaining multiple certifications including: ACE, AFFA, NASM and NSCA Personal Trainer, and NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach. Since 2003 I have concentrated my education in Muscle Activation Techniques(MAT), the revolutionary approach to assessment and correction of muscular imbalances and the Resistance Training Specialist Program, which focuses on the study and application of exercise mechanics. I have completed over 20 courses and logged class time hours and have been practicing MAT exclusively since 2005. Now a MAT RxFull Body Specialist. I have learned the most advanced total body process to achieve better results for my clients. I am committed to improving my knowledge for their benefit, keeping my clients on the field, in the gym or just healthy and strong.My goal is to implement exercise by continually assessing the clients’ needs, goals, neuromuscular ability and structural variations. My testing methods, observations of resistance application, progression variables and my detailed attention to the risk and benefit of each exercise prescribed are important to my results.Specialties: Muscle Activation Techniques, Exercise Application and Motivational Health and Fitness Seminars

Experience

1. Mat Rx Full Body Specialist and Golf Fitness Instructor

   Smart Golf & Fitness Instruction

   Sep 2021 — Present · Chicago, IL, US

   SMART Golf & Fitness Instruction was started with one goal in mind: to provide every single player we see with the best possible opportunity to improve their game bar none. Golf is a more physical sport than most people realize. To excel, you must have a combination of balance, power, speed, and good form. You must be able to twist your body and produce the right amount of momentum to send the ball where you want it to go. This requires you to have sufficient strength and joint flexibility. Muscle Activation Techniques® is a specific and unique process for evaluating an individual’s ability to produce efficient muscle contraction. Loss of muscle contraction results in a decreased range of motion, and therefore decreased physical performance.
