RESILIENCE BUILT THROUGH REPEATED MOMENTS OF UNCOMMON EFFORT
GENERAL Strength & Conditioning
Training for our general population athletes. Our programming is designed in house by our Certified Strength & Conditioning specialists, and is built to make our athletes more resilient for life.
Program Design
We strive to make your workout time the best hour of your day! We optimize every minute of your hour with coach guided mobility, a workout specific warm up, into the strength lift of the day, and finally interesting conditioning that expands fitness across all energy systems. The hour is challenging, and we love to make it light and fun.
-
We utilize methods from The Ready State system to prepare our athlete’s bodies to move through full range of motion or diagnose any restrictions that may inhibit healthy movement patterns. This education of self-care is designed to empower our athletes to be able to care for themselves inside and outside of the gym.
-
Let your mind relax as we guide you through the most thorough warm up you’ll need to succeed at the strength and conditioning for today’s workout. Warm ups typically include movement technique and correction on top of activation and dynamic stretching.
-
We design periodized strength cycles for our gym, meaning we follow science-based training blocks that base sets and reps off of the percentage our athletes will be working with that day. This results in an explosion of improvement in an athlete’s ability to move heavier loads in the power and olympic lifts.
-
Our conditioning workouts are rarely repeated making them novel, varied. exciting, and an opportunity for our athletes to improve every energy system: aerobic, glycolytic, and anaerobic.
coaching staff
Our coaching staff are all former collegiate or professional athletes and we love working with all of our athletes no matter where they are starting, what injuries they are working through, or what goals are being worked towards. Your success is our most important focus.

If an alarm was going off at our house, we would first look for danger, and then we would do anything that we could in order to turn it off. Are we treating the alarms going off in our body with the same care and attention?
