In addition you can choose to substitute one exercise for another that may work better for you. We take pride in positioning each user to maximize their results in the minimum amount of time.

A: A periodized workout program is best for optimizing strength gains and avoiding over training. Periodization is the gradual cycling of linear or staggered intervals to specificity, intensity, and volume of training to achieve peak levels of strength and physical performance. The cycles will shift gradually from high volume and low intensity to low volume high intensity over the duration of the program. Periodization can be an excellent way to get past training plateaus or to renew your enthusiasm if your training has stagnated.
A: Metabolic conditioning, also known as MetCon, is a method of training that involves a very high work rate, using exercises designed to burn more calories during your workout and maximize calories burned after your workout, or your afterburn. Metcon sessions are often vigorous, high intensity circuit-type workouts that frequently involves challenging total body, compound exercises and short recovery intervals while stimulating anaerobic threshold.
A: High Intensity Interval Training, also known as H.I.I.T. is a training principle in which low to moderate intensity intervals are alternated with high intensity intervals. H.I.I.T. can be applied to aerobic activity such as running, and/or to anaerobic endurance exercises such as squatting. H.I.I.T. is considered to be much more effective than normal cardio because the intensity is higher and you are able to increase both your aerobic and anaerobic endurance while burning more fat than ever before.
