FORTITUDE - THE PROGRAM

Classic strength training programmed for you the Fortitude Gym way. Each program is structured into 12-week macrocycles designed to increase volume and intensity by leveraging undulating periodization. Special methods will be used to create residual training effects that will enhance the targeted strength qualities. Program will rotate through hypertrophy, absolute strength, relative strength, & power over the course of the annual plan. It's time to get ON THE PROGRAM!

UNDULATING PERIODIZATION
Leverage the benefits of following our favorite concept of alternating between 3-week accumulation and intensification mesocycles.

STOP WORKING OUT & START TRAINING!
You don't need a workout. You need a training program. Anyone can make you tired. But only good programming will get you strong.

WARMUP & REGEN BUILT INTO EACH SESSION
Training hard can take its toll on the body. Improving your ability to recover between training sessions is an aspect overlooked by most people. For this reason, we address tissue quality & regeneration in all of our programs!

FAQs
Do I need full gym access to perform this program?
A full gym would be good but we perform these programs w/ a rack, pullup bar, barbells, dumbbells,, and bands. Cables stacks and a GHR would also help.
How long is each program?
You get access month to month through TranHeroic but each program / macrocycle is designed with four 3-week mesocycles totaling a 12 week program.
Can women train on this program?
Absolutely! Anyone that wants to get strong!

"By being part of the program I can track my progress and also keep myself accountable. Coach puts tremendous effort into the training sessions. He is always finding new ways to challenge me and make sure I’m always getting stronger, healthier, and more educated about strength training."

"At 53, I need to be very precise in how I spend my time getting strong. Jiu Jitsu is my current athletic passion. Sal is the most precise and accurate fitness professional I have ever encountered. When we met, my knees were a source of daily pain for me. Now, I never think about them."

"Sal was such a fantastic find! I had trained virtually and in person with a few bodybuilding-type coaches and saw results, but nothing like I’ve experienced since working with Sal. His programing is clear and effective and accompanied with videos demonstrating form etc."

"After working with Sal for over 2 years I can confidently say I am in the best shape of my life and have never been stronger or felt better."
