Gym Foundations Part 1 by Prevail Online Coaching.

At Prevail Conditioning in Santa Barbara, California, we have been guiding clients to results they never thought possible since 2009.

We are passionate about decreasing the barriers to health, strength, and high-end coaching: namely the barriers of cost, location, and fear of getting hurt or just not knowing what to do.

This Foundations program enables us to provide our guidance to a healthy, resilient life to more people like YOU.

We're looking for people whose "WHY" is simple. You want the most out of life. You are busy with family or work, but still want to prioritize your health. You want to feel, look, and perform better. You're willing to work hard, but need accountability, structure, and an efficient plan to get you where you want to go.

This is your first step of that plan. You'll receive a 12-week program with 2 full body workouts per week, and access to our educational newsletters and seminars. We want to help you build the strength, conditioning, mobility, and nutritional and stress management habits to not just survive... but THRIVE. Get started today.

You have lifetime access to the program upon purchase. We also have a Part 2 12-week Foundations program and a more advanced monthly-updating subscription based program available for you down the road.

FAQs
Who is this for?
This program is for someone either new to strength training, coming off of a long layoff from training, or looking for the "minimal effective dose" of strength work to complement their other activities (for example, an avid cyclist, hiker, etc.)
Who isn't this for?
Someone looking for a more advanced program would be better off subscribing to our monthly updating Team THRIVE. This is also not for someone with major injuries who would be better suited with in-person supervision.
What if this seems like the right fit, but I want to train more days?
We love starting beginners with 2 days/wk. Done right, it's enough to see benefit for a while. We'd rather you start too small and be successful then try to do too much and feel like you failed. We recommend you get outside for off day activity! That being said, you can repeat a day if you wish.
How much communication will I get with the coach?
A lot! You'll hear from us via program overview videos, responses to questions left in session comments, one form feedback via video per week, and a weekly educational newsletter. We're here to support you!
How much does the program change over the 12 weeks?
There are three 4 week phases that are structured to help you progress optimally over the course of the program.
