Strength and Fundamental Movements (6pm)

Service Description

Details: Run time: 75min Frequency: 2x per week (Tuesday's and Thursday) Duration: 8 weeks (16 total sessions) Cost: $400 (~$25 per session) About: This is not your typical fitness class - it is not HIIT or based on heart rate zones. My approach is adapted from integrating scientific research on motor skill learning and strength training. Leveraging motor learning principles, like motor exploration, this course focuses on coordination and movement efficiency through development of fundamental skills necessary to enhance your strength, mobility, and overall physical performance. My training program draws on the most up-to-date fitness/training research and makes data driven decisions using state-of-the-art technology to monitor individual readiness and overall progress. By signing up for this course you will have access to all assessment protocols using force plates, dynamometers, timing gates, and digital goniometer. Who's it for? This course is geared towards individuals new to training or may feel a little intimidated by gyms and weight rooms. In addition to improvements in strength and movement quality, my goal is for anyone that takes this course to feel confident and competent in any gym they walk into. Schedule: Week 1 - 4: Initial evaluations, familiarizing with the the weight room, developing stable coordination patterns for squatting, pushing, and pulling. Week 5 - 8: Midway evaluations (week 5), final evaluations (week 8), progressing training intensity, developing coordination patterns for contralateral movement, reaching, and twisting General class structure: Warm up (25 min) - The warm up is a series of low-intensity dynamic movements that will target specific movement patterns for that day. Main lift (30 min) - Each day will consist of 2 traditional strength exercises for both upper and lower body (barbell squats, bench press, etc.) and 2 single arm and leg exercises (dumbbell row, lunge, etc.). Individualized auxiliary exercises (20 min) - This will be specific to each individual based on their needs/goals, focused on core exercises and smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps, etc.).
