FAQs
Does this program include coaching?
Not directly. I do provide detailed instructions and notes for each exercise as well as demonstration videos but you will not have access to me for questions or coaching. If you want access to me along with a program, feel free to reach out to me for custom program design and coaching services!
Do the exercises change at all?
The exercises change every 2 weeks but similar movement patterns are trained throughout the program to ensure efficient progression in strength and conditioning. You'll get 16 unique training sessions and essentially four programs for the price of one!
How much training experience do I need for this program?
This program is best for someone with at least some experience and familiarity with lifting weights. The workouts are challenging and require a basic understanding of how to move your body with good form. If you are a beginner, try my Foundational Strength program first before doing this program.
How long do I have access to the program?
Train Heroic gives you access to this program for 1 full year. During that year, you can repeat this program as many times as you'd like :)
What if I have to modify the program or swap out an exercise?
You can easily make changes to the program or swap out an exercise in the app! Upon purchase, I'll send you a program guide that shows you exactly how to do it. Plus, I try to suggest substitutions in the exercise notes for certain movements as well.
