The MRF Institute is an education and consulting firm dedicated to bridging medicine, rehabilitation, and fitness. We work directly with physicians, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals to design and implement clinically safe, evidence-based exercise models for patients living with chronic disease and musculoskeletal conditions.

​

The MRF Institute is led by Jeff Young, a nationally recognized authority in medical fitness, and Dr. Andrew Mock, a board-certified physician in family, obesity, lifestyle, and preventive medicine, five-time strongman champion, and national leader across multiple medical and physical activity/fitness organizations, including the PAA, ACLM, and the Medical Fitness Association. Together, we bring unmatched expertise in both clinical medicine and exercise science.

​

We provide education through accredited courses, clinical training modules, and structured curricula, as well as consulting for medical organizations, health systems, and government agencies. Our mission is to empower healthcare professionals with the tools and confidence to safely prescribe and oversee resistance training, ensuring patients receive the full benefits of exercise as medicine.
