Love working up a good sweat and constantly switching things up?

MOVE is perfect if you love the challenge and variety of group classes but have absolutely ZERO desire to walk on your hands, master the Snatch, or throw yourself through the rings.

If you're from the world of high-intensity functional fitness, MOVE will feel very familiar. Each session consists of 10-15 minutes of strength followed by 20-30 minutes of interval-based conditioning.

The conditioning pieces are different every day and get this, there are days where we do NOT want you to go HAM (shocking, right?). There are sessions where you're supposed to train at lower intensities and actually be able to breathe.

Duration of the program: 52 weeks

Training Frequency: 4-5 days/week

Length of the sessions: 60 minutes

Look Better Naked
You have deep, meaningful reasons for achieving your fitness goals (e.g., feeling better, having more energy for the kids, getting off medication, etc.). Deep down, you also desperately want to look good. You want the confidence to take your clothes off at the beach (and in the bedroom). You want to look in the mirror and love what you see. MOVE will help you get there.

More Energy
Struggling to make it through the day without the 2:00 pm pick me up? Finding it hard to be present with the kids when you get home from work? The last thing you need is more stress and non-stop high-intensity workouts are STRESSFUL. It's time to train smarter, not harder, faster, or longer. The entire point of training is to improve life outside the gym.

Fall Back in Love with Training
You've evolved beyond mindless high-intensity group fitness and random workouts. You need a program that allows you to maintain (or achieve) a great physique without beating the $h!t out of your body. MOVE has enough variety to keep you interested but not so much that you never get any better, and there's an intended stimulus for every session, meaning you don't have to go HAM every damn day.

Gone are the days of random workouts, mindless high-intensity circuits, and being forced to kip your pull-ups, walk on your hands, and master the Snatch.

FAQs
How long are the workouts and how many days per week is the program?
Sessions typically take 45-60 minutes to complete, including warm-up, workout, and cool down or accessory work. Depending on the phase, there are 4-5 training days per week.
What equipment do I need?
You'll need access to multiple pairs of dumbbells, a set of rings or TRX strap, pull-up bar, plyo box, and resistance bands. Kettlebells, a jump rope, and an adjustable bench are recommended, but not required.
Do I need to add anything to the program?
You do not need to add anything (strength or conditioning) to the program. However, that does not mean you shouldn't prioritize living a physically active lifestyle (e.g., getting 10K+ steps per day, playing a sport, working in the garden, etc.).
What level do I need to be at to perform this program?
We designed the MOVE for folks with previous experience in high-intensity group fitness (e.g., CrossFit, Orange Theory, and F45). You should be comfortable training on your own, know how to perform most exercises with proper technique, and understand the concept of relative intensity.

"My back had been out of whack for months prior to starting Ballistic. Now, I'm able to Deadlift from the floor and do weighted single-leg glute bridges without pain for the first time ever...and I'm able to do consistent sets of 5 pull-ups."

"Prior to MOVE, I was doing CrossFit and my body just couldn't take it anymore. My knees were shot, my shoulder was a mess, and I had no motivation to train. Now, my body is feeling great, I have more energy throughout the day, and I actually enjoy training agin."

"Prior to Ballistic, my lung capacity was at 84% and was still on a steroid inhaler twice a day. After about 18 months of doing D's programming, I was at 93% capacity. Today, I'm at 100% lung capacity and 100% off steroid inhalers. Never give up!"
