"Hometown Hero" is a program designed for ALL first responders that want to feel better, look better, and optimize their lives while spending less time in the gym.
Each session is meant to be 45-60 minutes in length.
A 3-phase, 12-week program with both pre and post testing. This program hits every aspect of fitness and the last program you will need. YES, Hometown Hero is meant to be done multiple times, seeing new results each time.
Phase 1: Building a base while focusing on the fundamentals of energy system development and strength training. Goal is to reinforce and improve the SQUAT, HINGE, PUSH, PULL, & BRACE.
Phase 2: In this phase both intensity and volume are increased to prepare you for more advanced exercises and methods.
Phase 3: This is the culmination of the first 2 phases. Phase 3 is where you are tested to push past previous points of failure, allowing you to go a place you have never gone before.
If you want to feel better and look better in a fraction of the time you are used to, you're in the right place!
