Strength Foundations is a training program designed for individuals looking to develop full body strength. As a foundational program, the emphasis will be to establish proper form and technique in the fundamental movement patterns, while familiarizing yourself with various types of equipment. Our mixed methods approach not only utilizes traditional barbell training, but also more dynamic strength movements, such as calisthenics and yoga to target multiple muscle qualities (i.e., strength, power, endurance). This program alternates between high and low training days; high days are to be spent in the gym, while low days don’t require a gym and can be completed outside. This multi-disciplinary approach will provide you with not only a fitness routine that gives you the results you want, but also the time to find your stoke wherever your victories are won.
