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.

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

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.

FAQs
Who is this for?
This program is for someone who either can't or doesn't want to go to a gym. You're 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?
If you have access to a gym, we'd recommend our Gym Foundations Part 1 program. Someone with experience looking for a more advanced gym program should subscribe to our monthly updating Team THRIVE. This is also not for someone with major injuries who would do better 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!
I don't have dumbbells. Why isn't there a band/bodyweight only option?
Bands/BW can be hard at first, but isn't enough to challenge you over time. Especially for lower body work, you'll need external load to get to a meaningful level of strength. Our whole goal is making strength training accessible, but if you don't have DBs, get some or to a gym instead. Trust us.
Ok, I'll get dumbbells! Which ones should I get?
The dumbbells we use in the gym are PowerBlocks. We highly recommend an easily adjustable set like these to take up minimal space and make changing weights in your workout a breeze. Here's the link: https://powerblock.com/?ref=prevailconditioning
I have DBs, but not heavy enough for some patterns. What do I do?
Your best long term answer is similar to the answer above: get heavier dumbbells or get to a gym and switch to the Gym Foundations program. In the short term, you can do more reps to still make the set challenging.
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.
