Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning

No one has ever left Jess’s Mobility Class without feeling better than when it began 🧘

It’s one of those things you have to experience to truly understand the value of.

Better movement. Less stiffness. Improved recovery. A chance to slow down, reset, and give your body the attention it deserves.

Whether you’re an athlete looking to perform at a higher level or someone who simply wants to move and feel better throughout the day, this class is for you.

Come see what everyone’s talking about tomorrow at 1:00 in Woburn 📍

Raised heel squats, floating heel work, and split squat variations can be useful, but only if the person has enough dorsiflexion to begin with.

In this clip from T=R: The Foot Applied Conversations, Mike Boyle and Charlie Weingroff talk through a key programming question: when does bringing more of the foot and ankle complex into training help, and when can it add to the problem?

Charlie’s point is simple and important. Before adding more tension into plantar flexion, the heel cord, the midfoot, or the Achilles, you need to know whether the knee can actually get over the foot in the first place.

If dorsiflexion is limited, loading a raised heel or floating heel position may look like a smart progression, but it may also be asking the foot and ankle to tolerate stress it does not yet have the motion to manage.

Save this as a reminder before programming raised heel squats, split squats, Achilles rehab progressions, or foot and ankle work.

Phase 1 is for the rebuild 🧱

Our objective is to rebuild foundational strength that may have slipped during the season. Now is the time to seal any leaks so they don’t pop up again later when we start to add more power and load. We do this by exposing athletes to various muscle contractions with reduced loads and various rep rangers.

Here, our athletes are doing a 35 sec ISO incline press

followed by 4 reps of controlled eccentrics

and finishing the set with 14-15 rep concentric reps

Each week, we add duration and reps.

When programmed appropriately, you train athletes to move better, control their body through different positions, and are more prepared for the demands of sport and heavier training later on.

College athletes are starting to roll in 👀
Check out where some of them are returning from!

We are so excited to welcome back collegiate athletes and get to work. We start by focusing on the rebuild, addressing any weaknesses, limitations, or aches that may have shown up during the season. We prioritize rebuilding movement quality, strength, and durability before layering on higher performance work.

From there, our 4-day training programs are designed to develop:
⚡️ Speed & power
💪 Total-body strength
🏃 Conditioning & work capacity
🦵 Resilience for the demands of sport

Our college Summer session officially begins June 22nd and goes until Aug 27th.

6:00am is already SOLD OUT in Woburn.
The hype is starting. Don’t miss out.

Training in the heat 🥵

Something on the radar of many athletes as Summer rolls in. In hot environments, the body has to work harder to regulate your temperature.

This can cause sessions to feel harder, slower, and more draining.

But when heat exposure is managed correctly with appropriate adjustments to volume, intensity, hydration, and recovery, it can become a meaningful training stimulus.

Heat isn’t just a stressor. It can be beneficial when you
adapt accordingly🔥

Awesome hinge tip from Coach Jess 👏

Assuming we’ve already mastered keeping our back flat, the next most common hinge mistakes include:

1️⃣ Too squatty (too much knee bend)
➡️ Try placing a bench IN FRONT of your knees.This acts as a constraint to stop the knees from drifting forward and encourages the hips to move back instead.

👍 This will prevent the knees from taking over and allow you to shift your hips backward. When the knees take over, the movement becomes more squat-dominant and we lose the ability to properly load the posterior chain (glutes + hamstrings).

2️⃣ Legs completely straight (not enough knee bend)
➡️ Try placing the bench BEHIND your knees.

👍This encourages a soft bend in the knees so the hips can move more effectively. When the knees are locked we put excess strain on our back.

Constraints like these help correct our positions right away. With a tool as accessible as bench you can clean up your hinge as soon as your next workout💪

Get at it!

Intention is everything.

It’s the objective behind each session and the “why” behind the work.

Training with intention means training with a drive to succeed in the moment itself and in the big picture. It requires a sense of presence and a trust in the long term process - all these athlete in Coach Megan’s crushed this session because they executed each rep with a purpose.

Training with intention drives adaptation, performance, and stacks small wins to accumulate long-term progress. Want to get the most out of your session? Don’t forget your intention.

As a member for almost 5 years, John’s way of life has improved significantly.

Any negative energy evaporates when John steps into the weight room. He’s an absolute delight to be around, and not afraid to challenge himself. As a seasoned hockey coach himself, we’re thrilled to hear what he had to say and grateful to be a part of his life style.

Coach Cam, Jess, and Meg have helped John become a healthier, stronger, and confident version of himself. We have more coaches eager to help you do the same!
