I'm Alvaro Membreno, strength coach in Toronto. I help people with pain and restriction become their fittest, strongest selves — one true rep at a time.

Take the Hip Rotation Check →Squats feel shallower, hips feel older than you are. Range you don't use, you lose — measure yours before you chase more weight.
Measure your range →My 1-on-1 roster is full right now — that's deliberate, so every client gets coached properly. The waitlist is the line, and it's first come.
Join the waitlist →Find the range your body actually trusts today — with simple checks like the Hip Rotation Check.
Build strength inside that pain-free range. Small, honest reps beat big, sloppy ones every time.
Turn those reps into a program — monthly, progressive, and built around the body you have right now.
The seven fundamental movements — trained through three pillars: Movement · Strength · Nutrition
“Better small range staying true than big range compensating.” — the rule everything here is built on.
The first check I run with every client — your hips are the steering wheel for everything below the ribcage. All you need is a post or rack to hold for balance. This is your before-number: where your hip actually is today.
Step 1 — Set up. Stand tall, holding a post or rack for balance. Lift one knee to hip height, free arm crossed over your chest. The red leg is the one being tested.
Step 2 — Sweep IN. Slowly sweep the knee in — your shin swings across, toward the standing leg. That's external rotation. Move through the biggest pain-free range you have.
Step 3 — Sweep OUT. Now sweep the knee out — your shin swings wide. That's internal rotation, the direction most people are missing. Five slow rotations each direction, each leg — and stop at the first strong pinch. The honest end of the range is the data.
Your tighter side, honestly
Retest in four weeks of honest work — the number moving is the proof. Your score stays on this device; nothing is sent anywhere.
“He has managed to correct my spinal alignment, which has really decreased my lower body pains significantly.”
“Within a few weeks he helped me re-engage and strengthen the muscles that weren't firing properly. The pains that I'd been experiencing disappeared.”

Right now, no — my roster is full, and I keep it that way so every client gets coached properly. The waitlist is the real line: when a spot opens, I reach out personally, in order. Join it and you're in the queue.
In person at Unchained Athletics in Toronto — 20 Camden St, near Spadina & Richmond, with parking behind the ACE Hotel. I also coach clients virtually, so location isn't a dealbreaker.
Most training loads whatever range you show up with. Quantum Strength Method starts at the joint: assess the range you actually own, build strength inside it, then expand it. Small range staying true beats big range compensating — every time.
That's who this is built for. Training adapts around your back, knee, or hip — and the assessment comes first, so we know exactly what your body trusts today. One boundary: this is coaching, not medical care. If something needs a clinician, I'll tell you straight.
You get a confirmation right away, and your answers come directly to me — no assistant, no sales team. When a spot opens, I'll message you personally to talk goals and fit before anything is booked or paid.
1-on-1 coaching is at capacity right now — when a spot opens, the waitlist hears first.
