Conjugate X Conditioning
Jason Brown Coaching
Functional Training, Functional FitnessCXC is for the former CrossFit Athlete: someone that is looking for life after CrossFit. Someone that knows how to train, prioritizes their training and recovery. Someone that knows daily beatdowns and 8-exercise training sessions aren’t the way to optimal and sustainable results. Someone that wants to stay competitive, look good and still hit PR’s without sacrificing their bodies.
The CXC Training Plan is unlike anything you’ve experienced before.
It’s a marriage of the best system in the world for strength— The Conjugate Method— and science-backed principles of energy systems development, or conditioning. Not only will you become brutally strong, but the addition of proper aerobic development and recovery measures will keep your body progressing every week.
If you like marathon training sessions that leave you beat up everyday, CXC will not be for you. We train HARD on the right exercises and the right energy systems on the right days to elicit the best results you’ve ever experienced.
With 30,000 athletes using the CXC Method every day, the results are evident. Experience what CXC can do for your physique, your performance, and your motivation- today.

Jason Brown
I’ve spent my entire 15+ year career training everyday athletes to become healthier, stronger, and better conditioned, using a method I’ve developed called Conjugate X Conditioning (CXC). I’ve been exclusively online coaching since 2015. I’m a combat veteran, a former gym owner, founder of Jason Brown Coaching & Box Programming, and published author of “Lower-body Training” via Human Kinetics.
... and be able to sustain it into your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond… without spending hours a day in the gym?
