  • These programs are for someone in need of a simple, effective plan that teaches you the fundamentals that actually get results.

    No more just "exercising to burn calories" or trying random things you see on social media and hoping for the best.

    The simple structure (that we’ve used with hundreds of people in your shoes) will get you stronger, improve your movement quality, and build the confidence that comes from seeing real progress.

  • Gym Foundations can be done from any standard commercial gym, or a home gym equipped with the following:

    Required - Barbell, plates, dumbbells, adjustable bench, squat rack, and cable machine. (Bands could be subbed for cable exercises.)

    Optional - Fan bike or other cardio equipment, trap bar, kettlebells, bands, physioball, ab wheel, TRX/suspension trainer, foam roll, lacrosse ball.

    Home Foundations can be done from a simpler home set-up with the following:

    Required - Adjustable dumbbells (up to 30-50lbs.), bands (long, with handles, or a 41" loop band), sturdy object ~18" high (bench, couch, chair), sturdy object to hook band to (table leg).

  • Bands/BW can be hard at first, but isn't enough to challenge you over time. Especially for lower body work, you'll need external load to get to a meaningful level of strength. Our whole goal is making strength training accessible, but if you don't have DBs, get some or to a gym instead. Trust us - it’s a worthy investment that will pay you back in the form of decades of a more active life. We use PowerBlock dumbbells in our Santa Barbara facility.
