The Advantage

Whether your goal is to improve performance in a particular sport or just improve strength for daily life, the time commitment required is less than you think. With the right guidance, most clients can achieve optimal results by strength training for 30 minutes, only once or twice per week.

This is where we start, but not necessarily where we finish. The safest and most efficient way to build muscle while strength training is to simply slow down the repetitions. By doing so, you force the muscles to work throughout a fuller range of motion as opposed to letting momentum do the work. In addition, by slowing down the reps, you put a lot less force on the joints. This is where we build a foundation to incorporate intensity and understand proper form.

Nothing is more important than attention to form and breathing. Without it, so many of your gains can be lost and all your hard work can lead to injury. For a safe and effective workout experience, we take the time to ensure that you understand the form, technique, alignment and breathing that is involved in each exercise.

Finding the right level of intensity is a major key in determining the program that’s right for you. We will always start with low weights and slow motion repetitions to safely incorporate intensity without compromising safety.

It is very important to understand that exercise is a ‘stimulus’ and after you push your muscles to the max, they need adequate time to recover. Depending on the intensity level, the necessary recovery time can be anywhere between 3 and 7 days.

As humans, we are all biochemically individual and the path to great results is a troubleshooting process. Regardless of your exercise goal, we always start with a basic plan to strengthen the entire body. It involves an assessment and a comprehensive understanding of your body’s abilities and limitations. Along the way, we safely select exercises and configure routines to keep you energized and motivated in your journey for optimal health and fitness.
