Life gets busy, and adding fitness to your priority list is no easy task.

If you find yourself struggling to incorporate fitness into your life, ANCHOR: Minimalist Training is your solution.
Focused only on the absolute essentials for a high-quality program, ANCHOR helps beginners develop their fitness foundation and train for real life without the equipment or advanced movements. If you have a kettlebell, a pair of dumbbells, or even a weighted object from around the house, you're all set to go. The base of ANCHOR involves a variety of bodyweight exercises, which are extremely efficient for developing total-body strength, joint stability, and real-life skills of balance and coordination. ANCHOR is perfect for those who are looking for simplicity in their fitness journey.
