For those who have completed the Hybrid Athlete level one programme, this is the next step towards becoming more explosive, strong, fit and capable. It is highly recommended that you complete level one first, or already have a good level of strength and fitness, and already train consistently 4-6 times per week for this programme.

If you are looking to get stronger, fitter and in incredible shape for your career or just everyday life, then this is the programme for you. with 3 gym based Strength & power sessions and 2-3 running or conditioning sessions per week (flexible to you), you will transform your fitness and be ready to push on confidently to the next level.

This is also perfect for those in careers that require high levels of functional fitness, such as first responders.

Written by elite level strength & conditioning coach to the current 1500m world champion, Andy Kay. Andy is also a serving Firefighter and former head of training for British Military fitness, with years of experience in taking beginners and turning them into high level performers.
