Each participant has a program to follow within the class, but the structure offers a more self paced training environment.
The strength coach checks in on each lifter during the training time to assist in form, spotting, or making program adjustments.
We require a commitment of 2 days per week on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.
