Strength Training

Strength is a fundamental quality to living a healthy life. Strength is a relative simple addition to any health and fitness program. We must understand from a bio-mechanics aspect there are 3 planes of motion including sagittal, frontal and transverse. Further we should know that by in large strength training movements come down to basic patterns including squat, lunge, hinge, push, pull, rotate and gait. This is the fundamental beginning point of any general strength program. For specifics we have to dig deeper into the complexity of these planes and patterns but that’s another conversation.

Our strength programs build in mobility and flexibility as part of a well-rounded session From our warm-up to in between sets and the cool down these are key to a healthy strength session. By integrating we minimize the need for additional or separate work and better manage our time. Note: this does not mean one cannot dedicate more time and energy to their mobility and flexibility! Much of this depends on goals and needs.

So whether you need a general program or some more sport-specific goal based program we have the answers to what can be a rather complex puzzle. We teach you the proper bio-mechanics aka techniques, help set the parameters including sets, reps, weight and even time between, show you the complimentary mobility and flexibility movements and more.
