Explore our 3-day program, created by Coach Ayse Sukola, ideal for athletes who have completed our beginner program or have intermediate experience. Each day includes a balanced workout plan covering movement prep, technique, classic lifts, strength, and accessory exercises. Our focus is on three key areas: improving technique, building strength, and preventing injuries, ensuring you can refine your skills, boost your power, or enhance overall performance.

The program is divided into 4-week blocks and is suitable for newcomers to the sport.

With Train Heroic, we've created a community of athletes where you can post comments and videos, and receive updates and feedback from our coaches. After the third block, you can transition to 4-day or 5-day programs, or stick with this one. We also offer event coaching for those interested. Join us to elevate your performance and achieve your goals!
