Chris Reed

The Foundations program by DB3 Fitness Systems is the perfect starting place for learning how to maximize your gym membership. With 4 separate 3-week training blocks, you will have an opportunity to learn how to properly use all the equipment at your local gym while never having to "just wing it" again.

The program is designed to go at your own pace. While only 12 weeks in length, you will have access FOR LIFE! Ideally, you can extend each training cycle for as long as you feel you need to, until you are ready for something new!

The 3 workout days should take roughly 45 minutes to complete. Outside of that, there are 2 mobility and conditioning days (optional) and 2 recovery days.

Let's maximize your membership and get you ready to take on the gym, every time you walk in the doors

One Payment, One Years Worth of Workouts
This "12 Week" program is designed to expose you to all the different equipment a conventional gym can offer. We recommend going through the program for 12 weeks straight as written and then utilizing each section of the program for extended periods of time throughout the year.
