This comprehensive program encompasses the totality of our training philosophy, designed to optimize health and performance, and is a unique combination of the following elements:
4x per week: Internal Strength Model from Functional Range Systems. Every strength session trains the deepest tissues first (capsules) followed by the next layer (rotational muscles) followed by the superficial musculature (linear tissues). ISM aims to balance all 4 tissue ecologies by training nervous system, skeletal, connective tissue, and muscle in each session. You will see a lot of familiar strength training movements but also a lot of loaded movements that are totally new, designed to target tissues that are neglected in traditional strength training.
3 x per week: 2 Zone 2 and 1 HIIT Conditioning that utilizes heart rate technology with a combination of indoor and outdoor, machine and calisthenic exercises.
2 x per week: Kinstretch virtual classes and assessments are used to develop range of motion.
Get stronger, better, faster, AND healthier; all in one program!

Backsync Daily Routine
Hello! For those of you who have a Backsync, we wanted to provide some instructions on how to start using yours. Start with mastering the first three videos after your CARs routine and progress to adding the next three. You can also add a Seg-B to things like sit-ups or Jefferson curls to add intensity and precision. For those of you that do not have one but are curious Do you need a Seg-B? No. :) Is it a great tool for training your spine to move better? Yes. We were sent a prototype to play with for a few months last year and decided to get behind the product because feedback for spine segmenting or spinal control in general, is so hard to give- even in person. This machine makes it totally possible. It helps in a few ways- developing delicate fine motor skills, forcing you to work so much harder at strengthening each segment, and showing you where you are weak and where you lack mobility. It's a pretty durable product that can handle pretty heavy loading. To paraphrase our friend Alex Nichols, if someone were to ask you to flex your bicep and you couldn't, we could agree that it would be a problem. If someone asks you to expand or contract a segment of your musculature between vertebrae and you can't, that should also be considered a problem. Those tissues won't perform well under load. This machine is the best thing we've seen for teaching the brain how to control, contract, and expand musculature between vertebrae without the help of a trained professional.

Verified Athlete"The folks at Basis did a strength reset for the Healthy Rebellion community, I jumped in on that and it was nothing short of amazing. I've not been able to back squat or deadlift for a decade until trying this program with self assessments and coupled mobility. You have NOT seen this stuff before."
Strongman competitor
Verified Athlete"Thanks to Grayson Strange and Basis Health & Performance, I'm able to really use my hips and legs to build tightness for my deadlift. Deadlift is the best it's ever been and bodyweight is 20lbs lower than this time last year. Feels gooooood."
Avid golfer
Verified Athlete"My health and fitness has greatly improved since joining the Basis Program. Lower back pain diminished by 75%. Overall strength, mobility, and stamina increased. Hard work, but worth every minute. Kinstretch!"
