For those leading the way in modern programming who know that
better classes build better gyms.
We program for the best member experience possible
Workouts should be doable but difficult for most. Programming for the top 10% of your athletes and scaling for the rest doesn't work. Your members want to follow the training as closely as prescribed each day, not two members out of twenty doing ring muscle-ups and the other 18 doing something completely different. By avoiding this, your class experience is more seamless and less disjointed.
When most class members are doing the same class workout, the vibe is better, the community is stronger, and the consistency is greater. The result is increased fitness and a better business.
We program for a consistent weekly structure
We balance a predictable rhythm to the schedule with variance in workouts.
Every week, your members will get:
This simple structure promotes clear, consistent progress for members but also keeps training enjoyable and engaging.
It helps each member build a sustainable routine, promoting growth and forging a strong community within your gym.
We program benchmark workouts every two weeks.
Every year we repeat 24 workouts to make progress tracking easy for your members.
This visibility, consistency, and accountability will show them on a regular basis how they are improving over time.
Through routine testing and clear metrics, you'll create a gym community where progress is not just hoped for but expected and achieved.
We program to build strength, endurance, and capacity sustainably.
Rather than focusing on building strength one month, endurance in another, and high-intensity capacity in the next, we build them together every week and all year round.
It ensures our training program moves you forward across all fitness domains, creating a well-rounded athlete ready for any challenge —whether on the field, in the gym, or in the real world.
Your members will love feeling stronger & getting fitter, slowly and sustainably.
We program for the functional movement patterns of an active life.
Your members want the ability to play, to compete, and to live at whatever speed they desire.
We believe in programming highly functional movements applicable across sports, outdoor adventures, and daily life. Most don't need or want sport-specific skills with narrow real-world utility.
We don't program complex gymnastic movements for this reason.
The reality of your member’s lives demands strength, endurance, and capacity. It doesn't require them to know how to walk on their hands.
We program for members who want to train smart
Your members want to be your members forever. They don’t want to get beat up and spit out. They don't want to keep searching. They want a training program they can do consistently, and that works.
Intensity drives results, but when structured poorly and without intelligent controls around volume, it can become the barrier to progress instead of the main driver..
We implement what we call “intentional intensity” through movement pairings, loading, & rep shemes that fall into our programming sweet spot for sustainable power output.
This allows your coaches and therefore your members to maximize their training efficiency while preventing overtraining and ensuring sustainable progress.
The result: Your members will build up, not burn out.
We program running as a cornerstone.
Traveling efficiently from one point to another is as functional as it gets. Because it's one of the most fundamental movements your members will ever do, they need repeated, consistent exposure to it.
This is why your programming will include running 2-3 times a week at varying intensities and distances. Your members’ fitness will be grounded in this natural human movement.
We program with proven methods and are always adapting
Just as you are committed to improving your gym for the long-term benefit of your members, we're committed to improving our offering for the long-term benefit of our partner gyms.
We promise to adapt, refine, and elevate our programming over time. We’ll avoid stagnating, embrace continual improvement, and remain willing to challenge our own beliefs if needed. As fitness science evolves, so does our programming.
By embracing a drive for evolution, we aim to be both relevant and revolutionary.
