Home Foundations Part 1 by Prevail Online Coaching.

At Prevail Conditioning Performance Center in Santa Barbara, CA, we have been guiding clients to results they never thought possible since 2009. We are excited to now offer this online platform and be able to provide our guidance to a healthy, resilient life to more people, starting with YOU.

Our "WHY" is to care for, support, and walk alongside our clients on their journey. We care deeply about doing the process right, no matter how long it takes.

With this program, we're looking for people whose "WHY" is simple. You want the most out of life. You are busy with family, work, or other obligations, but still want to prioritize your health. You want to feel better, look better, and perform better. You know strength training is important, but don't know where to begin, or how to most efficiently use your time. Going to the gym might either be too intimidating or time-consuming to you at this time.

We want to reduce the barrier to strength training, high-end coaching, and a healthier life. We aim to help you not just survive... but THRIVE.

We can't wait to have you in our community.

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 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!
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.
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.

"Prevail's home program is thoughtfully designed with beginners in mind! I loved the video demos and written cues, as well as the education in the newsletters. As a work from home mom, these workouts were short but powerful. I am energized, toned, and ready to take on whatever my days have for me."
