STRENGTH LAB

Course Length: 2 hours

The Strength Series helps to develop the strength that is needed to perform at the highest of
levels. There are three training phases within the series intended to progressively build a user’s
total work capacity and improve cardiovascular fitness: Build Muscle, Get Strong, Get Powerful.

ENDURANCE LAB

Course Length: 2 hours

The Endurance Series focuses on developing cardiovascular fitness while providing training
methods to improve muscular strength. Frequently, endurance training enthusiasts focus on
cardiovascular conditioning, neglecting complimentary components necessary for a well-
balanced program, which places a great deal of stress on the body and, over time, can lead to
training plateaus or injury. The workouts in this series are designed to assist with breaking
through those training plateaus while decreasing injuries. To achieve this, we have also included
additional training components in conjunction with cardiovascular training that are vital to your
sustained success with endurance activities, including: Pillar Prep, Movement Prep, Strength,
and Plyometrics.

SANDBAG LAB

Course Length: 2 hours

The Sandbag Series provides you with a training plan that develops the raw strength and power
needed to meet the performance demands placed upon you in any environment. This series
progresses through three phases of training: Build Your Base, Gain Muscle, and Get Powerful.
Each phase builds upon the work completed in the previous phase and preparing you for what’s
to come.
