Health and Wellness Video Tips by Omero Rangel
Meet Coach Omero: A Movement Performance Coach
“Hey there my name is Omero Rangel, but you can call me Coach O. I am a movement performance coach and enjoy using battle ropes, kettlebells, suspension training and medicine balls to train my athletes. I was born and raised in California and currently reside in Sacramento. I also share daily health and wellness tips to help my athletes stay motivated.
The Beginnings of Omero's Fitness Journey
I started my fitness journey at the age of 12, when getting bigger, stronger and faster for baseball and football was the goal. I began personal training at the age of 21 which about 15 years ago and haven’t stopped since!!
Evolving Training Style and Pursuit of Mastery
As I gained more knowledge through school and other avenues I realized there was much more to human movement than I ever imagined. My training style has changed tremendously from when I first started and continues to evolve on a daily basis. By continuing my education and striving to be a master of my field, I hope to make a greater impact on the lives that surround me. Sharing general health and wellness tips is part of my approach to inspire others.
Coaching Philosophy: Mind-Body Connection
I specialize in coaching people to become better/stronger movers by understanding the mind-body connection more deeply. I encourage the development of this mind-body relationship through functional training which teaches athletes to move their body properly through multiple planes of motion. I often recommend fitness workout videos to complement this training.
I consider myself a guide, showing you the path of how to control your body as a whole and create efficient movements by improving communication through the central nervous system. We then solidify these connections by staying engaged mentally and physically throughout the entirety of a movement and gradually challenging your self-perceived physical limitations.
Guiding Athletes to Overcome Limits
My passion for fitness goes beyond just helping people reach their fitness goals, that’s a given, I aim to leave an everlasting impact in areas of muscular function, human performance, mindset, heartset, and lifestyle through a holistic approach to training. It is extremely important to me that my athletes and I figure out what the right balance is for them and how we can game plan for further achievements. Setting personal health and fitness objectives is crucial in this journey.
Balancing Athlete Needs and Achievements
I predominantly use unconventional equipment and unorthodox styles of training which involve kettlebells, suspension trainers, battle ropes, and medicine balls. These tools encourage athletes to use their body as a whole and understand how both hemispheres and sides work together for maximum strength, power, and endurance. I developed a passion for functional training because it promotes full-body engagement, increased mental awareness, and overall grit.
Functional Training and Injury Recovery
A little background on my is that I blew my knee and shoulder out from playing sports and was looking for a training method to still build athleticism, increase longevity, strengthen joint stability/mobility and still get an overall great workout, I found that in functional training. I studied Kinesiology at Sacramento State and received my Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science in 2014. Since that time I have continued to further my education by completing national certification and attending seminars and workshops, many on functional training modalities. Sharing tips for good health and fitness is part of my commitment to helping others recover and thrive.
I am currently a member of NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association).”
