The goal of Simply Strong Club training is to provide a system that helps busy professionals and parents commit to strength training long term. We strive to provide a training system that will seamlessly fit into your busy weekly schedule.

At Simply Strong, our goal is to provide simple, effective, and efficient programming through an accessible app that encourages commitment, consistency, and adherence.

COMMITMENT

Strength is not gained over days or weeks, but rather accrued over months and years.

There is no quick path or miracle 8 week program that will take you from weak to strong. Strength requires commitment over the long haul.

CONSISTENCY

There is no off-season from strength.

Strength is lost much more rapidly than it is accrued. Failure to stay consistent will create a perpetual cycle where are you always starting back at square one. Being committed day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year is a grind - and it’s not always easy.

Everyone likes to claim to be a “hard worker” but sometimes hard work is not the ability to push yourself to the limit, but rather the ability to continue to show up even when there are many excuses not to.

ADHERENCE

Strength is a skill that requires adherent practice to improve.

Mindset matters. Viewing strength as a skill that can be accrued and improved through practice will change the way you approach your training. When you view your workouts as practice you will no longer painfully toil away and mindlessly sweat as you chase results that seem miles away. When you approach training as practice you will focus more on incremental improvements instead of end results. This mindset will keep you more engaged in your training and provide you with a deeper appreciation for the process.

We set simple adherence benchmarks of averaging 2 training sessions per week and accumulating 100 training sessions a year. To reach these benchmarks in a 52 week year you must be committed, consistent, and avoid extended absences from your training. This benchmark serves as the baseline adherence required to expect positive results.

Master the Art of Showing Up
So much of the success or failure of any training program is tied to the simple act of showing up. Simply Strong aims to instill the importance of commitment and consistency to create habits that will last. The only training session you will regret is the one you skip out on. Be stronger than your excuses and reap the rewards.

Take Control of Your Training
The idea of slow, steady, incremental improvement through training can often be difficult to process and often the results you seek can feel miles away. For a training program to work it has to fit into your busy schedule. Our adaptable system strives to fit seamlessly into your life and schedule. You have to be willing to put in the work and we’ll be here with the plan and support you need.

Build Your Foundation
The foundation you build through consistent and committed adherence to a strength training program is about so much more than just physical strength. Simply Strong seeks to provide you with the tools, support, and programming you need to build that foundation and be the best version of yourself.

FAQs
I’m new to strength training, what do I do?
No worries! We all start somewhere. We recommend following our Simply Strong Club On Ramp program before you join the team. Healthworks members would also benefit from scheduling some personal training sessions or attending our group classes to get up to speed!
What if I miss a day?
We schedule our training on Mon/Wed/Fri, but you can easily move the session to another day on the app.
How do I know how much weight to lift?
That will come with experience. Over time you will learn how to lift by feel. We typically program our main lifts with a warm up set (light), a build up set (medium), 1st working set (heavy), and a 2nd working set based on how the first one felt.
How long is each session?
Generally our sessions last 45 minutes or less. Everyone is free to move through the training at their own pace.
