Our resistance training programs draw from across disciplines, including:
Callisthenics
kickboxing
yoga/Pilates
team sports conditioning
Emphasis on Body Mastery & Athleticism
Traditional weight training programs use an exercise prescription strategy that emphasizes improving muscle strength through resistance exercises. Other factors, such as stability, endurance, movement quality, power, flexibility, speed, and agility are also essential elements to improving overall functional performance. By integrating traditional weightlifting and disciplines with greater stability, range of motion, and cardiovascular demands, like pilates, martial arts, and other sports, there is the potential to build higher levels of stamina and a more balanced physique with greater freedom of movement.
Neurological Benefits & Increased Mind-Muscle Connection
The highly emotional and unpredictable nature of sports causes an array of hormonal and neurological responses within the body that are not found during the relatively controlled pursuit of weightlifting. By incorporating athletic conditioning systems that involve unpredictable reaction drills, changes in direction of movement, and movement in all planes, we gradually induce greater neurological efficiency in trainees than weightlifting alone.
The Serious Leisure Perspective & Long-term Motivation
The Serious Leisure Perspective is a framework from sociological research that states people are most likely to continue consistently doing an activity like working out if some aspect of it is tied to their sense of self. By using an integrated approach to strength training, you and your coach will have the opportunity to find the types of movement which you can see yourself falling in love with and becoming a part of your identity. We use an in-depth client onboarding system inspired by the Serious Leisure Index Measure (SLIM) to figure out exactly what types of movement you'll be eager to stay consistent with rather than creating a simple bodybuilding workout that may feel like a chore. This will involve looking at your childhood involvement with sports, dance, or anything physical to help you find the joy in movement you probably had when you were younger.
