The Proof
verified-athlete-avatar Jeanette T

Gained confidence in and out of the gym

Verified Athlete

"The best aspect was the pace at which I was introduced to the squat and deadlift. The program provided an excellent foundation for learning these exercises. I fell back in love with exercise and I've gained confidence in and out of the gym. Now I can't imagine life without strength training."

verified-athlete-avatar Jake M

The longest I've stuck with a program

Verified Athlete

"My goal was to be able to learn how to lift and exercise safely, and this fit the bill perfectly. This is by far the longest and most consistently I've stuck with a program, and getting comfortable with barbell training was a huge part of that."

verified-athlete-avatar Maureen W

Just what I needed

Verified Athlete

"This program was just what I needed to kickstart a new routine and dust off the cobwebs. I’ve gained strength and confidence with each training session. I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m miles from where I was when I started."
