A typical session with us—warm-up, main lifts, speed/conditioning, cool down.
Curious about what sets us apart? A training session at our facility is more than a workout—it’s a personalized, science-driven experience designed to elevate your performance and provide you with a specific program helping you on your fitness journey. Whether you’re an athlete or an everyday fitness enthusiast, we tailor each session to your goals. Let’s take you behind the scenes for a typical session, from warm-up to cool-down, to reveal the process and spark your interest.
The Warm-Up: Setting the Stage
Every session begins with a dynamic warm-up, preparing your body for action while preventing injuries. Here’s what to expect:
• Mobility Assessment Observation: Your coach starts with a quick check of your movement patterns, ensuring joints and muscles are ready. This might include a hip mobility test or shoulder rotation evaluation.
• Dynamic Stretching: Guided stretches like leg swings, arm circles, and lunges with a twist activate key muscle groups.
• Light Activation Drills/Exercises: Low-intensity exercises, such as bodyweight squats or lateral steps, boost blood flow and prime your nervous system. This takes about 10 minutes, laying a solid foundation.
This warm-up, overseen by our integrated physical therapy team, ensures you’re loose, focused, and injury-free.
The Main Exercises: Strength and Precision
The core of your session focuses on strength training, customized to your sport or activity. Here’s how it unfolds:
• Variable Resistance Training: You’ll perform exercises like squats, bench presses, or deadlifts with appropriate weights and proper form.
• Functional Movements: Exercises mimic real-world actions—think rotational throws for baseball or lateral hops for basketball—enhancing sport-specific power.
• Coach-Led Form Correction: Your trainer provides real-time feedback, adjusting your posture and/or form to maximize results. Data from our progress tracking tools guides the intensity, ensuring you’re challenged but safe.
• Duration and Intensity: This block scales to your level, with rest intervals tailored to your needs—shorter for athletes, longer for beginners.
The precision of this phase, backed by our data-driven approach, builds strength that translates to your goals.
Speed and Conditioning: Sport-Specific Boost
Depending on your sport or activity, this optional segment hones speed, agility, or endurance:
• Sport-Tailored Drills: A football player might do sprint intervals, while a tennis enthusiast works on lateral quickness with shuttle runs. A high school swimmer may work on explosive push off drills to improve their start time.
• High-Intensity Intervals: Short bursts of effort, like 10-20-second sprints followed by rest, boost cardiovascular fitness and customize the program for your specific energy system needs. Our coaches adjust based on your sport’s demands, tracked via heart rate monitors.
This phase ensures athletes gain a competitive edge, while others can opt for general conditioning.
The Cool-Down: Recovery Begins
The session ends with a cool-down, promoting recovery and flexibility:
• Stretching: Guided stretches for hamstrings, quads, and shoulders release tension. A 40-year-old client reduced post-workout soreness by 50% with consistent cool-downs.
• Mobility Work: Foam rolling or light yoga poses, improve range of motion. A golfer increased their swing rotation by 10 degrees in a month.
• Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing calms your nervous system, aiding recovery. This 5-10 minute phase leaves you refreshed and ready for the day.
Our cool-down integrates with recovery tools like massage guns or red-light therapy, available post-session.
