This session explores positions of the body for cardiovascular, strength and flexibility conditioning. In addition to gaining new movement pattern ideas for what the body can do safely, you will gain a new mindset for conceptualizing how to train clients.

Learn to identify whether your clients suffer from being under-recovered.

Juggle the demands of group training by learning skills to create inclusive environments, fun and a tribe mentality that leads to more profit and impact.

In this session, you will learn how to ignite and train the vestibular, somatosensory, visual, and auditory systems so that your clients gain confidence and develop greater balance and functional fitness!

In this partner-based workout session, rubber resistance will be used to regulate and modify both load and tempo creating a series of tri-set superset training routines that will activate and stimulate the muscles like never before. These routines may be put together for a full workout or incorporated into shorter, more intense training sessions.  Join us and get Jacked!
