Who is this for?
This program is designed for little to no experience with a strength & conditioning program. Be prepared to learn new movements and use new equipment. This will challenge you and improve your competency in a weight room setting. Completing at least one 4-week block of this program will enable a smoother transition into our other programs.
What EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?
If you’re missing one or two things feel free to sub as you see fit or reach out to a coach for assistance. Most gyms should have these items or reasonable substitutes. Don’t let lack of equipment become an excuse – keep moving, because a few missing pieces won’t matter in the long run.
- Barbell, rack, and plates
- Pull-up bar
- Selection of dumbbells, kettlebells, and bands;
- Rings or TRX
- Plyo box(es)
- Bench (adjustable)
- Jump Rope
- Spin Bike or Air Bike
- Rower (ideal, but can sub in other cardio machines)
What is the difference between a training program and individual design?
This is a group program, so by nature it cannot take you as far as an individual design program in terms of focusing on specific needs and goals. Individual design programs begin with an in-depth consultation and assessment period, working one on one with a coach who will then design a unique program for each athlete.
HOW DO I WARM UP AND MOBILIZE?
Warm ups are provided for each workout that will get your body primed for the day. Keep in mind your own individual needs and feel free to alter to fit your body, or reach out to a coach with any questions.
where do i go for questions?
You can communicate with a coach via Fitbot and enter your feedback, comments, and questions for each workout.
WHAT IF I MISS A WORKOUT?
This program is intended to build from week to week, but you’ll keep access to all the workouts through your daily workout email if you want to make one up. Keep in mind that your Fitbot account will only be accessible while you have an active subscription to one of our programs, so be sure to save your daily email if you want to refer to it later. If you need to miss an extended amount of time, best to jump back in where the program is currently. Feel free to reach out to a coach if you have any questions.
