FAQs
Who is it for?
Whether you're a former athlete, busy parent, strength enthusiast, or simply someone who wants to perform better in everyday life, KFL helps you build strength, conditioning, muscle, and resilience through practical training.
Where do I start? Can I just jump in?
Training evolves through different cycles and seasons, but the mission never changes: build a stronger foundation. No matter when you join, you'll step into the current training phase and start making progress from day one. Stay consistent, and you'll notice results within the first couple of months
What if I don't have all the equipment?
Don't worry. While the program is built around barbells, pull-ups, carries, and other foundational movements, most exercises can be modified based on the equipment you have available.
Some workouts might last +60 minutes, what if I don't have time?
While some workouts may take over 60 minutes to complete as written, the most important work is always prioritized at the beginning of the session. If you're short on time, focus on the main strength or conditioning piece and skip the optional accessories.
