The initial step is to perform a thorough assessment to determine what strength qualities you need to focus on most and to establish a baseline of strength and movement quality. The training regimen will be designed based on the evaluation outcome, and your specific training objectives. The program is formulated with an inherent balance among various movements and muscle groups. We then proceed to evaluate your level of proficiency in these movements to confirm the absence of dysfunction, as it is critical to avoid building strength on an unstable foundation.
We gather relevant empirical data from each workout. This strategic approach aims to guarantee optimal outcomes centering on the progression of exercise practice, paired with an accurate assessment of the adaptation of the training stimulus. Our research confirms that there is a strong correlation between measured data, and the corresponding enhancement in fitness performance. Do to this belief, we operate with the motto – What gets measured gets improved.
Typically, individuals can expect to adapt to an exercise routine within 4-6 workouts, although specific muscle groups may respond at different rates. We collect data to monitor client progress and confirm any adaptations. To support long-term progress and stave off staleness, we introduce changes to the exercise regimen as the body acclimates to the current routine. Research indicates that incorporating different angles, resistance profiles, and training methods can enhance the efficacy of your workout and improve your results.
