Program Fundamentals

Periodization is a structured approach to training that breaks down a training program into distinct phases or cycles, each with a specific focus and intensity level. 

Why it's used:

It's designed to maximize training adaptations, prevent plateaus, reduce the risk of injury and overtraining, and helps individuals achieve their fitness goals. 

Key Concepts we use:

Macrocycle: The overall training plan, typically spanning a year or season. 

Mesocycle: Smaller, intermediate phases within the macrocycle, usually lasting several weeks or months. 

Benefits:

Prevents plateaus: By varying training stimuli, the body is constantly challenged and adapts more effectively. 

Reduces risk of overtraining: By incorporating recovery periods and varying training loads, the risk of overtraining and burnout is minimized. 

Improves strength, speed, and endurance: Periodization can be tailored to target specific fitness goals. Progressive overload is a training principle that involves gradually increasing the demands placed on the body over time to stimulate adaptation and improvement.

Without this, your progress will plateau or regress.

Strong Movement Patterns begin with the spine. Your ribcage + pelvis are the upper and lower movement components that attach to your spine.

The muscles involved in moving these bones are ESSENTIAL to healthy movement patterns.

Our 4 Pillars become feedback loops that drive your program design.

The Human Body doesn’t compartmentalize Emotional, Mental + Physical Capacity...they are interdependent systems. Our programs recognize that with intention.

The body moves in tiny ways and big ways.

We train strong movements of your entire Nervous System + help you better-understand your Metabolic Processes, Neurology and Soma.
