Have you ever gone to the Doctor for a check up or physical and haveyour doctor say everything looks good if you can get your biceps and define your calf muscles” we can add 10 years to your life. Probably not!

Doctors measure your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and heart rate to evaluate your health. Hard exercise improves your fitness levels so you look good from the inside out.

The human body functions as a system. The only way to effectively exercise the human body is to treat the whole body as a system. Which is why it’s far more effective to use exercises that use a whole lot of muscles at one time like squats, presses, dead lifts, clean &jerks, snatches, and other olympic weight lifting. These common body movements done correctly produce greater stimulus [results] on the body.

Wide range of movements and workouts:

The more times you perform the same workout the easier it becomes and the less results fitness results are achieved. Performing a wide range of movements and workouts continues to deliver results because your body has to work hard to adapt. Examples of this are aerobics classes, kickboxing classes. They are hard the first time, but become easier as you become more consisting yielding less results.




High level of intensity:

Performing the exercise routines in the least amount of time possible while still maintaining safe and correct posture. High intensity maximizes your time and constantly improves your fitness levels. If aerobic exercise, and what we mean by aerobic exercise is long, slow distance...if that really worked, things like walking or jogging on the treadmill, moving on the elliptical, using the stair-climber or stepmill – then everyone in the gym that is on that equipment, would not be fat! Right? And yet what precisely you see is that people that need to lose weight never ever get it done that way. The reason for that is muscle burns fat for fuel and if you ultimately want to effect the amount of bodyfat you’ve got then you have to affect your muscle mass. And the only way to affect your muscle mass is by doing exercise that challenges the ability of that muscle mass to produce force. (HINT - it's called resistance training) If you really want to use the best piece of cardio in the gym…then get on the Concept-2 rower. It's the only piece of equipment that works more joints, over a longer range of motion, than any other device in the gym.

Functional movements:

Simply means movements that God designed your body to perform naturally. A squat is a natural or functional movement. You squat every time you sit in a chair. Strapping yourself in a leg extension machine and extending your legs with 100lbs on them is not natural and not functional. Functional movements are safer and reduce opportunities for injuries. Each time you pick up a child your deadlift. Each time you place your suite case in the overhead compartment you are doing a snatch.



Measured & Coached:

Measuring your performance during each work out lets you see your improved performance. Good Coaching ensures your are using the correct technique which helps your get the most results while reducing the risk of injury. We incorporate a few base line routines that occasionally repeat themselves so you can measure and observe your increasing fitness.




No Machines:

Some gyms have devices that are specifically designed for you to use when you watch television. Instead you should be Grunting, Sweating…look everybody knows when they are working out and what we’ve got now is a situation where we have been allowed to fool ourselves because it’s in the interest of the industry to maintain that charade. Effective exercise is hard! And that’s all there is to it! It’s like anything else, if its easy, it’s probably not effective. The fitness industry is predicated on machine use because it’s only cost effective to train their staff on the use of those machines…in other words, it is cost prohibitive for any gym to hire a strength coach to teach every customer in the gym to do these barbell lifts, those of course being the most effective stimulus for results.

Small group setting:

Exercising with a group of 6 to 8 other motivated individuals creates a comfortable setting that lets you know that you are not in this alone. The group supports, motivates and encourages each other to do their best each and every time. All excuses and stress go out the window and is replaced with a sense of accomplishment and pride preparing you to face any obstacles that life sets before you. After you exercise hard everything else in life is a piece of cake.
