It’s not exercise. It’s training.

Exercise is random. It’s about doing whatever you feel like doing on a given day with no definite purpose other than getting sweaty and getting a “pump”. Training, on the other hand, has a clear goal and a carefully designed program to achieve that goal.The clients will learn how to train themselves. Our goal is to help you build a stronger, more efficient body through a simple, practical and results-driven approach to strength training. Our programs focus on a handful of basic barbell exercises designed to strengthen the entire body through the common movement patterns we use in our everyday lives. When we train, we aim to master these techniques, and then gradually make them harder. Each training session provides a stress to which the body is forced to adapt by growing stronger. Over time, this carefully managed cycle of stress, recovery and adaptation increases the work capacity of the entire body and rewards us with more muscle mass, bone density, less fat, better balance and coordination, and increased stamina and energy. This approach to strength training is fun, safe, challenging and ultimately fulfilling. It works for any person of any age and or experience level and is, without a doubt, the most effective and efficient way to improve the way you look, feel and move. Train hard but also smart.

Patrick uses scientific principles of exercise science, biomechanics, anatomy & physiology and theories of adaptation to ultimately get his clients fitter, faster and stronger.

The workout will teach you the basics of strength training and the core movements used to get you stronger and in better shape. The workout will allow you an opportunity to ask questions and understand how the exercises will benefit you. What happens during an Intro Session? The coach will go over personal goals, current workout regimen, previous injuries, the equipment used in the workouts and an overview of what the workouts will be like. The intro session is for the coach to assess certain strengths and weaknesses you may have in terms of mobility, flexibility, strength, posture, and overall athleticism. This will give the coach a starting point to program your future workouts. The first session will teach you the basics of strength training, proper breathing and bracing mechanics, etc.. You will also learn the core strength training movements such as the squat, the hip hinge or deadlift, and the press.
