For busy professionals who need a proper introduction to strength training with a plan that fits real life.

You know you should be strength training, but don't know where to begin. Your work/family demands make it easy to excuse not taking action. When you have gone to the gym, you fear getting hurt or looking foolish wandering around aimlessly.

You WANT to get stronger, perform better, and feel confident in your body to be the best version of yourself for your family and career. But you NEED an effective plan you can stick to with your busy schedule, and the support of coaches who care.

This is that plan.

- 2 day/wk, 12 week Full Body Strength-focused program written by experts who have coached hundreds in your shoes.

- The TrainHeroic App for video demos, detailed cues, and easy & rewarding progress tracking.

- Daily Coach Feedback for all of your questions.

- Monthly Podcast & Newsletter to learn the WHY behind your programming and WHAT to do outside of the gym.

This isn't just programming. You're entering an exclusive community working to build the strength, conditioning, mobility, and nutritional and stress management habits to not just survive... but THRIVE. Get started today, your best self is waiting for you.

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

FAQs
Who is this for?
This program is for someone either new to strength training or coming off of a long layoff from training.
Who isn't this for?
Someone with gym experience 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 do best with in-person supervision.
What if this seems like the right fit, but I want to train more days?
We love starting those new to strength training with a 2 day/wk routine. Done right, it's enough to see immense benefit to begin. We'd rather you start too small and be successful then try to do too much and feel like you failed. Get outside for more activity on off days! That being said, you can repeat a day if you wish.
How much communication will I get with the coach?
A lot! There's daily coach feedback in the app, and a monthly newsletter and podcast as well. 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. That being said, this program is about mastering the basics, so we keep it simple.
