Before 👉🏼 After

You wouldn’t jump off a boat into the ocean before you learned how to swim in a pool... The gym is no different.

When you come to us, we want to make sure you know what you’re doing before you are introduced to intensity. And we want to see you demonstrate competencies with CONSISTENCY before turning it up.

We know you’re ready to put in work, but we want to make sure you’re set up for long term success.

The process starts with consistency.

Respect your journey.

Kids program is underway and still enrolling with LIMITED AVAILABILITY! 🧒🏽👧🏼

We understand that it is difficult to find fun ways to encourage children to put away their phones and tablets.

If you are looking for ways to get your kids more active and involved in healthy social activities, this program is for you.

Enjoy an hour to yourself while your kids have the opportunity to play and learn with other children in a safe and fun environment.

Reach out today for more information.

SWEAT! 🥵

If you're into living a healthy life... A little sauna time is worth considering.

We believe in training intentionally.

The workout should match your goals.

For example:
Build power with intensity.
Build durability with tempo.
Build skill with practice.
Build opportunity with movement.
Build resiliency with recovery.

If you have aches and pains in the gym, it’s likely because you are misusing one or more of those.

If your goal is to feel better, consider the following:
Too much high intensity (for time or for reps workouts more than 2x/week) can lead to tendon breakdown due to lack of opportunity for eccentrics to rebuild tendon health.

10%-20% minimum of your training should be done with intentional tempo for tendon health.

You need to build skill before you add weight or speed to movements. Many injuries happen because people learn new movements in short time frames, and then they add speed, and weight - bad idea.

PRACTICE!

Intentional movement should be a part of your programming. Try new things and explore movements to competency and then move on.

Without experimentation, your variation becomes predictable and overtraining can become a problem.
For every 5 normal workouts add in 1 active recovery day. And give yourself a full rest day every week. On your rest day, actually rest.

2021 IS THE YEAR.

There has never been a more important time than now to take care of your health. 2020 has very clearly proven that to us.

The 1st of the year, for many people, is often the start of a new beginning. An opportunity to make drastic lifestyle changes that, unfortunately, rarely stick.

We recognize and understand the struggles that people face when it comes to changing their lifestyle. We work with those people. That is what we do.

If you feel like 2021 is the year that you get your health together, send us a message or schedule an intro today. There's no better way to start the year, and you won't regret it.
