STRENGTH

TRAINING.

Nothing improves quality of life more than strength training, the bedrock of a sensible exercise program. And the best way to get strong fast is a simple program of compound barbell lifts applying the principle of progressive overload. Our programs are safe, effective, and efficient; perfectly tailored to your limits. Ask your doctor.

CONDITIONING.

A sensible and sustainable conditioning program is key to longevity. Let our coaches create a perfectly balanced program of cardiovascular training that applies the concepts of polarization, periodization, and progressive overload.  We help you cycle faster, run longer, and maximize your fitness for everyday life.

PROGRAMMING.

You can’t reach your goals without a firm understanding of the objectives that will get you there, as well as a clear and concise program to help you schedule for optimized performance. We provide diet and nutrition counseling coupled with expert programming to achieve optimal and lasting results. Stress is followed by recovery and then adaptation. Feed the process. That is the map. Just follow the directions.

TESTING.

To arrive at your desired outcomes you should calculate your inputs. Knowing exactly what and how much takes the guesswork out. It’s arithmetic not algebra. Tests include Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), Peak Oxygen Consumption, Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max), Lactate Threshold, Functional Threshold Power (FTP), Body Composition including DEXA Scan, running gait analysis, and bicycle fitting. We do not use outside vendors and all testing is conducted on-site at STRONG SPORTS GYM.
