THE SAVAGE is built for the competitive animal who seeks unrivalled repeat effort strength and an unrelenting conditioning capacity. THE SAVAGE is a 7-day program, consisting of 3 x in-gym sessions, 2 x conditioning and 2 x Recovery sessions.
THE SAVAGE is time efficient, there’s no slow build, you get to work straight away and don’t stop until you have finished. It requires you to demand and expect more of yourself. Push yourself and see the SAVAGE arise.
Tried and tested with field, court & hybrid athletes, it challenges you physically and mentally and moves you closer to a SAVAGE animal inside and out.
THE SAVAGE can be done at a home gym, crossfit gym or performance training centres.
