BUILT DIFFERENT TRAINING offers quality fitness programming for motivated, driven individuals who wish to be BUILT DIFFERENT from the majority. Designed for busy parents, CEO’s, entrepreneurs, business professionals and everyday hero's with limited time.

Our training programs (designed but not limited to those 35+) allow you to balance real life and optimal wellness. We focus on efficiency, longevity, and safety,

Your coaches at BUILT DIFFERENT have learned that it is time to train different than we have in the past. No more soul crushing workouts, 2-3 workouts a day and hours in the gym. Our training needs to evolve to align with our new priorities (family, career, quality of life, hobbies) and goals. That is what lead us to BUILT DIFFERENT TRAINING.

BUILT DIFFERENT is a growing community of like minded individuals who intend to be the best version of themselves while continuing to become stronger, fitter and build new muscle.

3 efficient, thought out, full body training tracks reduce the confusion of having TOO many options. Choose the track that best aligns with your goals or work between the 3 depending on your needs. Training blocks change every 4-6 weeks.

BUILD - BUILD IS OUR SIGNATURE AND MOST POPULAR PROGRAM!

BUILD is a 45-60 minute full body strength program using progressive overload, compound lifts, and accessory movements. One exercise per body part, per day, programmed 5 days per week — but can be done as little as 3 days per week. Perfect for the burnt out athlete ready for a smarter, more sustainable approach to building lean muscle, strength, and longevity.

PERFORM - PERFORM is a strength and conditioning program built for real-world performance, programmed 5 days per week. Sessions prioritize hypertrophy/strength first, with purposeful conditioning layered in. A smart transition from daily high intensity redline-only training. High-risk, low-reward movements removed — results without unnecessary wear and tear.

FORGE - FORGE is a 30-minute dumbbell-based strength and conditioning program using AMRAPs, EMOMs, and CrossFit-style formats — finished with a pump or accessory finisher. Perfect for the CrossFitter transitioning to smarter training, the TRAVELER, and the BUSY INDIVIDUAL who needs to get in and get it done. BUILD athletes can strategically pull FORGE sessions as a standalone conditioning day.
