This Strength Training Team focuses on general compound lifts, with an emphasis on creating power through plyometrics and olympic lifts, followed by compound movements and finishing each day with accessory lifts. 

There are also daily muscle primers to get your body primed and ready to go, with cool-downs and core at the end of each workout. 

We cycle through 3-4 week blocks at a time that fit into larger testing cycles of 8-12 weeks at a time! 

This program is great for you if you'd like progressions in lower and upper body compound lifts, pushing and pulling strength, and overall strength and power!

The Proof

"Vicky is easily the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. I walked in with a background of high school and collegiate athletics, including strength and conditioning work, but wasn’t sure what to expect. I was blown away - she puts a ton of effort into designing workouts that fit the needs of her athletes and every week brings variety and new challenges to meet my goals. In the last year I’ve gotten both leaner and stronger than I’ve ever been, all with improved range of motion - a win, win!"

"As an international athlete, Vicky has trained me remotely for the past 3 years through 2 world championships; The Oceana Asia-Pacific Olympic Qualifier, as well as multiple lead up tours. Whether you are a serious high level athlete or someone wanting to get into better shape at home, Vicky has you covered. She truly cares about every one of her clients and will stop at nothing to help you exceed your goals, and become the best version of yourself."
