Verix | Prime is a strength & conditioning program that takes a holistic approach to fitness. We understand stress and adaptations. We don't subscribe to the idea that you need high intensity training every day to see results. Our programs vary intensity and volume throughout the week so you can get the results you want without training yourself into the ground.
Prime is the same program that we run in group classes at Verix Athletics, a dedicated small group training facility located in Medicine Hat, Alberta. This program is designed to improve strength, endurance, and mobility, to keep you doing what you love.
