Form and Technique is Imperative for Safe and Effective Training!

Resistance/Strength Training
The foundation of your training. The approach will be modified according to age, gender, body type, and goals. The weekly workout structure will allow for a stress frequency of up to 3x per week while allowing for upwards of 48 hours of recovery for a target muscle between workouts.
Each workout will be comprised of different exercises per muscle/group. This ensures that the neuromechanical matching principle is applied for optimal motor unit recruitment, which simply means that muscles will develop to their full potential.
Progressive overload will be implemented for all workouts. This ensures safety and a steady progression towards performance gains.

Circuit Training
More commonly known as “Cross-Fit”, this type of training is available if you desire serious improvement in: fat-loss, endurance, stamina, and overall cardiovascular function.
Unfortunately, many “Cross-Fit” gyms and trainers do not conduct this type of workout properly. Far too often, they fail to teach, encourage, and implement proper form and technique throughout the workout. In addition, frequency of training and appropriate intensity and resistance levels are often overlooked resulting in serious injury and overtraining syndrome.
It is my duty to ensure all training is conducted in a safe manner. Proper form and technique is implemented in every workout every time!

HIIT
Short for High-Intensity Interval Training, this type of workout is similar to circuit training in that it will create significant improvements in: fat-loss, endurance, stamina, and overall cardiovascular function.
This type of workout is performed in a series of short bursts of a high-intensity exercise interlaced with short periods of recovery. Due to the extreme high-intensity of the workout, the duration typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. Most clients will complete a ~10 minute battle rope HIIT workout at the end of their resistance training workout to boost fat metabolism, improve VO2 Max, and put them in a state of EPOC.
EPOC stands for excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. HIIT induces an oxygen debt within your body causing an increase in your metabolic rate for up to 16 hours after your workout. Thus, it is highly conducive to burning fat while retaining muscle as it does not have the potential to catabolize (break down for fuel) your muscle like extended periods of steady-state cardio has the tendency to do.
