Designed for Fitness + Longevity

We don't stop running, jumping and lifting because of age. We age because we stop running, jumping and lifting.

At Perennial Training, we believe that as a 35+ years old adult/parent/working professional, you should still be training like your favorite sports athletes do. Except in lower doses.

The 4 Pillars of Badass Longevity

A good amount of scientific evidence points to four key markers of long-term health: strength, muscle mass, cardiovascular conditioning, and athleticism.

Together, these four markers are more powerful for your health than any medical drug you can take.

Functional Strength
Carry your kid in one hand and 5 grocery bags in the other. Get off the couch without your knees popping. Load luggage in the car trunk with flair. Being strong is cool.

Tireless Engine
Strong cardiovascular fitness is a top predictor of longevity in humans. What about in chimps, you ask? We don't know. Luckily, you're not a chimp.

Head Turning Muscle
It's your first day at the pool this year. All the other adults are checking you out because your glutes are thunderous. Life is good.

An Athletic Human Body
Training to improve your athleticism increases your bone density and tissue health. Plus, your puppy ran away with your flip-flops again, and now you need to chase it in the backyard. It's going down.
