WHAT WE OFFER
At PJA Fitness, we provide personalized, physician-supported care whether you're recovering from surgery, bouncing back from a game, or training to reach peak performance. Our process ensures every client gets the right treatment — at the right time — with clarity and confidence.
Initial Evaluation
Every client begins with a 1-on-1 evaluation performed by Dr. Preston Arnold, a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy. This includes a full movement assessment, orthopedic screening, and a conversation about your goals and history — whether it’s post-op rehab, performance training, or recovery.
Determine the Best Path Forward
Based on your evaluation, we guide you down the appropriate care pathway:
Injury or Post-Surgical Case (e.g., TKA, THA, ACL Repair, Meniscus Surgery)
→ If you're post-operative or present with a new injury, we’ll coordinate with your physician or surgeon for medical clearance and ensure your care follows best practice protocols.
Medical Concern Needing Diagnosis
→ If symptoms suggest a need for diagnosis or imaging, we’ll refer you to a trusted physician in our network for further evaluation before beginning treatment.
Wellness & Performance Clients (No Injury)
→ If you’re not injured and simply want to recover from activity, improve mobility, or enhance performance, we can begin immediately under our wellness and performance-based model.
How Does This Work?
Hi, l'm Preston Arnold, Doctor of Physical Therapy
and founder of PJA Fitness.
My journey into physical therapy started with personal experience. As a collegiate baseball player, I suffered an injury while unknowingly doing the wrong workouts
without proper guidance. That setback lit a fire in me to learn how the body really works - and how to train, recover, and perform the right way.
Today, I bring that same passion into my work with athletes, active adults, and anyone striving to move and feel better. I'm not just a coach on the sidelines — I practice what l preach. I train regularly, stay active, and continue to challenge myself through strength training and running. I believe movement is medicine - and I live that out every day.
Outside of work, I'm newly married, guided by my Christian faith, and proud to be a family-first kind of guy (with a couple of awesome dogs, too). That mindset shapes how I run this business - I want every client to feel like part
of the PJA Fitness family.
At PJA Fitness, I provide one-on-one, data-driven physical therapy and performance care designed to meet you where you are — and help you get where you want to go.

Our Philosophy
At PJA Fitness, we believe that peak performance isn’t reserved just for athletes — it’s a pursuit every individual deserves.
Founded by Preston James Arnold, PJA Fitness reflects both a personal commitment to excellence and a professional philosophy rooted in Performance Journey Athletics: a system built on science, movement, and lifelong performance.
Performance
Our treatment is grounded in objective, evidence-based principles drawn from sports science and rehabilitation research.
We prioritize measurable improvements in strength, endurance, mobility, and overall function, ensuring that every individual — athlete or not — receives a customized, outcome-driven plan built for long-term success.
Journey
Every path to performance is different.
We meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re returning from injury, striving for new athletic heights, or simply looking to move and feel better.
Through individualized progressions, clear goal-setting, and continuous evaluation, we guide you confidently through every stage of your journey.
Athletics
We believe athletic development is for everyone — not just competitive athletes.
Our foundation in biomechanics, movement science, and sports medicine ensures that all clients develop the strength, stability, coordination, and resilience needed to thrive in sport, fitness, and daily life.
Training like an athlete means building a strong, durable foundation that supports your goals for years to come.
