Strength

Our strength classes include a mixture of training methods and equipment from powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, strongman, and gymnastic strength training. We have some fun and unique strength toys to play with that you won’t see in an ordinary gym- yokes, D-Balls, wheel barrows, Slater’s log, sandbags, sleds, clubs, kettlebells, and the Snail! This may sound intimidating but have no fear, we coach you through every step of the way and use exercises appropriate for your fitness level, from beginner to advanced. When it’s time to squat, a beginner can use a pair of lighter dumbbells or a lighter bar and an advanced athlete can grab a belt and load a bar till it bends!

While there is no “cardio” element to this class, you will get your heart rate up and work strength based conditioning through some of the strength methods we utilize such as speed endurance training, hypertrophy training, strength aerobic training, and strongman endurance training.
