The Benefits of a Balanced Program Design
Our programs are rooted in Strength and Conditioning for Sports and incorporate elements from Bodybuilding, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Yoga, and more. All of this is combined to create a program with these benefits:
- Strength - Meet the demands of your life by being strong enough to handle it. In scientific terms, strength is your ability to produce force. We know that strength can be measured in many ways. Our program will guide you in developing strong muscles, strong joints, and a strong mindset.
- Resilience - Don’t break. Be better prepared to deal with the physical and mental stresses when things don’t go as expected or you’re facing a challenge. It could be a busy time at work, tripping and falling without getting hurt, or dealing with many possible stresses.
- Longevity - Don’t quit. We built a fitness program that is sustainable for life. “I’m getting old” should never be something that comes out of your mouth. People often blame age for what is usually the lack of a certain quality in their life that is more noticeable with age. They need to instead focus on improving that quality.
- Mobility - Massage, stretching, and warm-ups. Improve movement quality, treat pain and injuries, prepare and perform better in your workout, increase joint range of motion, and maintain soft-tissue health.
- Power/Quickness - Strength is not as beneficial if it can not be employed quickly. You’ll develop the ability to be explosive and responsive. This could mean jumping higher, sprinting faster, or even reacting swiftly to a potential fall and preventing it.
- Hypertrophy/Physique - It’s ok if you just want to look pretty. We get it; you want to look like you workout too. Looking good happens to be one of the side effects of our programs.
- Muscular Endurance - It burns. Fatigue will make a quitter of us all, so make your muscles last longer.
- Conditioning/Aerobic Endurance - Although we prefer you get your conditioning from a sport or activity you enjoy, we have an entire workout each week and exercises within each workout to improve your conditioning.
If this is not enough benefits, what more do you want?

In short, 2-4 hours per week, but it depends on the type of workouts. If you are working out less, your workouts need to be more intense. We see better results for people who train more frequently but less intensely.
- Total body workouts should be a priority.
- A combination of strength training and sports, recreational activities, or hobbies is ideal.
- The optimal amount is 4 days per week. More than this may not allow sufficient recovery.
- 20 minutes to an hour is enough; shorter workouts should be offset with more intensity.
- Members see results when training strength only 2 days per week.
- Athletes should train 2 days in-season and 3-4 days off-season.
