Why Strong & Functional?

Take the guess work out of your training.

If you want to spend less time in the gym, increase strength, endurance, mobility, power, and athleticism but don't want to sacrifice aesthetics, this is for you!

As a programming lead for a top New York City gym, I know what the busy day to day is like. Finding time to make it to the gym, while also staying intrigued, can be a weekly task. However, I created this program to make fitness more fun + accessible to those outside of my Group Fitness/Personal Training home base.

Strength + Muscle
This is where we will spend the most time. Compound + Isolation exercises to increase strength and build muscle
benefit-image-1
Mobility
Strength meets flexibility. Spend less time passive stretching and more time becoming strong AND flexible. Mobility will be integrated into our strength work as well as the 10 minutes of prep before every session.
benefit-image-2
Conditioning
Train the heart. Every session includes a fun conditioning piece that will keep you engaged. It may include Kettlebell Complexes, Interval Training, Rowing, Biking, SkiERG
benefit-image-3
Power + Athleticism
Don't accept that there is a certain point in life where you don't need to run or jump. We need to maintain the ability to produce and absorb force ESPECIALLY as we age.

FAQs
What if I have limited equipment?
That's okay, everything can be modified. For example, a Barbell Bench Press can be substituted with a Dumbbell Bench Press. You can always direct message me for additional options as well.
What if I am dealing with pain or injuries?
We can work around it! Direct message me and we can chat about modifications.
What if I'm new to fitness?
Perfectly fine! This is a scalable program. You will have direct access to chat with me for modifications. I will also be happy to view videos in the chat to help with form.
