PRivate and small group training
Our goal is to create a safe, systemic and progressive training program that will minimize your risk of injury while you get in shape! Our team of knowledgable trainers are here to not only create programs in order to help you reach your goals, but instill you with the knowledge and spirit to continue making desicions outside of the gym so that you can see the highest degree of what you are capable of. Our style of training is offered in both private one-on-one and group varities.
In Phase 1 we will use low weights and high repetitions to build a solid structural foundation. This will improve the tensile strength of your muscles, ligaments and tendons before moving on to heavier loads. It is also crucial in Phase 1 to make sure you have normal range of motion in all major joints. We will achieve this through foam rolling (self myofascial release) and static stretching. Building from this phase ensures you avoid having faulty, inefficient movements in the next phases drastically reducing risk of injury.
Phase 2 focuses on getting your heart rate up, increasing your endurance and helping to build strong lean muscle mass. We will focus on transitioning from the foundation built in Phase 1 to using heavier weights to gain strength and achieve hypertrophy depending on your goal. Even during this phase of training, there is still an underlying emphasis on making sure stability during each session is maintained. Strength training allows us to activate your fast twitch muscle groups helping build solid strength and muscle whether you are a seasoned athlete or just want to look and feel better.
After building your foundation with stability and strength training, you are now ready to perform explosive, athletic movements safely! This is the most intense form of training as it increases your heart rate and rate of force production of major muscle groups. This will improve your overall athleticism!
