Training Process
1. Your Free "No-Sweat" Intro
Gus will show you around the barbell club, discuss your goals, and offer guidance on what to look for in a training program. No sweating on day one!
2. Start Where You Are
No experience is necessary! Barbells can be loaded to meet the needs of the Olympian or her grandmother. Our nutrition program focuses on habits and accountability, not strict dieting or BMI.
3. Learn the Lifts
Our personal training uses the Starting Strength method to train the Squat, Press, Deadlift, Bench Press, and Power Clean. Gus will teach you how to safely and effectively perform each of these lifts.
4. Stick to the Program
With private coaching you'll know what to do the moment you enter the gym. Gus's programming will be tailored to fit your life and goals. The core of everyone's program will be strength, then customized over time.
5. Track Your Results in a Training Journal
You won't need to believe you're stronger: you'll have evidence.
