Our weighted vest training plan is built for athletes who want more from every rep.

This 8 week program is designed to elevate strength, endurance, and work capacity.

4 sessions a week, with a variety of styles of HIIT training, whether that be EMOM'S (every minute on the minute), AMRAPS (as many rounds as possible), sessions to be completed for time, or for rounds. A mix of full body, upper body, lower body, and cardio.

Why it works? - Adding load to fundamental movements forces your body to adapt, building strength, durability and resilience.

Perfect for individuals looking to gain an edge, break plateaus, switch training styles, and turn standard training into high performance work.

Stronger movements, better conditioning, and a more capable individual under load and without it.

All you need is a weighted vest, if you have one that allows you to change the weight that's great, if not, the workouts can still be done, they may just need to be adjusted to get the best results.

When the weight comes off, everything moves faster, with more power.

Increase strength and relative power.
Adding a weighted vest makes bodyweight movements more demanding, helping you build real world, transferable strength.
benefit-image-1
Improved conditioning and work capacity.
Your cardiovascular and respiratory system work harder under increased load, which boots endurance, helping you perform at a higher level, for longer.
benefit-image-2
Stronger bones and durability.
Adding a weighted vest to your sessions increases load through the skeletal system, which supports bone density, joint stability, and overall resilience, which is key for staying resistant to injury over time.
