This quote comes from Tom Purvis, an authority in biomechanics, and aptly defines our training ethos. Given our firm belief that every person is distinct, we design the training individually and not for a group. Our customized programs are tailored to suit your specific goals, anatomical structure, movement patterns, and physical abilities.
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.
The Henneman Size Principle Dr. Henneman’s discovery of the “size principle” in 1957 explains the order in which motor units are recruited. This principle is widely discussed in exercise science classrooms. Among strength and conditioning experts, focus is given to
To be at your best, taking supplements is crucial. Nowadays, being average won’t cut it. However, it’s important to remember that the supplement market is like any other industry – there are high-quality supplements and there are low-quality ones. Investing
When I’m not training people at my gym I am spending a considerable amount of time studying, whether that’s from books, videos, podcasts, webinars, seminars, etc. I absolutely love what I do and never get bored because of all the
“If you are looking for someone who is dedicated to their craft, look no further. Chris will go above and beyond to make sure you are successful in your training. He will provide you the best tools, education, supplements and mentorship. This man is a expert at what he does.”
In a semi-private setting, clients execute tailored programs designed specifically for them. We don’t do group classes where everyone is doing the exact same workout. We prioritize the training for the client. There can be anywhere from 1 up to 3 people training, all with their specific program.
Our personalized training programs are tailored to your unique goals, anatomy, movement patterns, and physical capabilities. We believe that every person has different degrees of capabilities and needs and this is why we train each person according to their specific needs.
Here’s the process:
Below is an image of the app we use to create the workouts and collect appropriate data.
WE ABSOLUTELY DO.
In order to get in your best shape nutrition has to be a focal point. We see what your current habits are and help you to build new ones that are sustainable and will get you results. We don’t believe that fad diets work and we believe that any dietary changes should be something you can do permanently. If you can’t do it for a lifetime is it worth doing at all? This is why we created AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO NUTRITION PRINCIPLES book.
We also use an app for nutrition to help with grocery shopping, what foods to eat and to avoid, as well as accountability.
From here we discuss and help fine-tune a nutritional plan that’s perfect for you.
Workouts can range anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes. The time is mostly determined by the type of training you’re doing and your work capacity.
We don’t base the training on a set time but research has shown that the longer your training session is the more stress hormones go up and anabolic hormones go down, so it eventually becomes counterproductive if you train for too long.
We’re by appointment only but we’re willing to work from:
6am – 9pm Monday through Friday
7am – 1pm on Saturday.
We’re closed on Sunday.
THERE IS NO CONTRACT.
If we don’t get you results we really couldn’t blame you for wanting to leave.
Results really vary from person to person. Some things that will determine this are:
I can promise you will see big differences in strength with increased lean muscle. I’ve had people lose up to 25 pounds in 3 months and gain 10 pounds of muscle. Here’s a few before and after pics.
