Are you a busy parent looking to prioritize your health and fitness, but often feel directionless or overwhelmed when you workout? Do you have limited time to devote to your workouts, and spend too much of it asking, "What exercise should I do next?" Maybe you've built an epic home gym and are looking for the perfect program to maximize your investment. If you find yourself in a similar situation, ELEVATE is your answer!

ELEVATE: Strength for Life is an intermediate strength training program designed to take your health, fitness, & life to a new level. Through professionally-designed & powerful workouts, you will find yourself developing functional strength that carries over into every other area of your life. Whether you're training to keep up with your kids, boost your energy levels at work, or simply feel stronger in your everyday tasks, ELEVATE provides the plan to accomplish your fitness goals.

ELEVATE takes the guesswork out of your fitness. No longer will you walk into the gym and be unsure of what you will do that day. Put any planning time back into other things that matter most to you. With ELEVATE, you will have a proven program that puts all the puzzle pieces together. Each workout builds on previous days, while intelligently preparing for what's to come. Just open the app and get started.

Training for real life is one of the most noble & selfless acts you can do. When someone is relying on you, whether it's your family, friends, or coworkers, building your own strength & confidence empowers you to do more with your life. On your fitness journey, you may have somedays where you feel unstoppable, and other days where you're doing what you can to stay consistent. ELEVATE uses RPE-based training, which allows you to modify the intensity each day & listen to your body so you can maximize your daily potential, steer clear of injuries, and stay strong for the people & priorities that matter most.

As part of the KJ Strength system, ELEVATE works seamlessly alongside ANCHOR (our beginner minimalist program) and STRONGHOLD (our advanced, strength & performance track), giving you the tools to adjust your training based on your life, equipment, and goals. If your goal is to ELEVATE your strength & confidence in all areas of your life, ELEVATE: Strength for Life is the program for you!

Built for Any Gym - Home or Commercial

Whether you consistently head to your local gym or built an epic space at home, ELEVATE will help you maximize your space & efficiency in the gym. All you will need is a squat rack, barbell, bench, dumbbells, and a kettlebell to get started. Take ELEVATE with you, no matter where you train!

Smarter Training with RPE

ELEVATE uses RPE (Rate of Perceived Effort) to guide your daily intensity—allowing you to lift based on how your body feels & modify where you need to. This helps you stay consistent, avoid injuries, and make meaningful progress without sacrificing your energy or recovery. ELEVATE workouts are designed for the long haul!

Real-World Strength That Shows Up Daily

ELEVATE prepares you for the physical demands of everyday life—whether that’s lifting your kids, doing yard work, carrying groceries, or keeping up with weekend adventures. You’ll build functional strength that makes you more capable as a dad, mom, husband, wife, brother, sister, or friend.

Confidence You Can Feel

When you feel strong, everything in life feels more possible. ELEVATE isn’t just about building muscle—it’s about elevating your mindset, confidence, and energy levels. As your strength grows, so does your belief in what you can handle inside and outside the gym.
