More Than Genetics

Coach
Joy Chiekwe

Here is an easy to follow dumbbell only strength program that can be done at home or at the gym. This program helped over 200 people stay active at home during the COVID shutdowns. Years after the shutdowns, I still get feedback of people coming back to this workout to kick-start their strength training.

Once you complete your first 4 weeks, make sure to come back for DB Strength 2.0! 

I am always available if there any questions. 

Have fun!
