About Us

Thomas and Jeff met through a mutual acquaintance in November, 2020 and realized immediately that they were kindred spirits with a nearly identical vision and passion to bridge the gap between medicine, rehab, and fitness.  Within weeks the original website was underway, and about one year later they launched their podcast series.

​

Jeff had already been collaborating with Andrew and Sheila, who he met through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM).  In late 2021 Jeff introduced Sheila to Thomas. Shortly after, the three were on their way to developing a presentation for the ACLM's annual conference in the fall of 2022 on how to optimize the medicine, rehab, and fitness pathway.  In the meantime, Jeff and Andrew were strengthening their relationship, participating in various projects through the ACLM and Medical Fitness Association.

 

In 2025, following some changes in the company's infrastructure, Andrew was added to the team and the branding shifted along with it - positioning the MRF Institute as a leading exercise education and consulting firm (with a focus on clinically safe, progressive resistance training for patients across the spectrum of disease and musculoskeletal conditions), with world-class virtual medical fitness services as an additional focus.​
