Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
I wanted to try a new way of strengthening my body to help prevent further injury. The training has left me amazed with what my body is capable of and has challenged my fear of being unable to function “normally” after living with so much pain.

Q: What are some of your favorite things about R3VIVE?
I wanted to try a new way of strengthening my body to help prevent further injury. The training has left me amazed with what my body is capable of and has challenged my fear of being unable to function “normally” after living with so much pain.

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
YOU are always welcome! We all want to be experts when we try something new for the first time, but training here is a skill that you develop over time, just like any sport or instrument, practice is needed to see change and improve. Everyone here started from the same place you are starting- give it a go!

Q: Tell us an interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you…
When I was 15 I climbed the tallest mountain in Costa Rica, took 10hrs of hiking with 30lbs on my back to reach the lodge, then the second day another 4hrs to reach the summit- with snow!

Build: This Build cycle is your blueprint for forging general strength with a rock-solid, consistent split. While we will have linear progressions of Front Squats, and Bench Press, we will also be embracing varied, dynamic strength orgressions. That will not only keep delivering results but also keep our strength fun. Our gymnastics focus will be on pure, raw strict strength, helping you build capacity with both external loads and the incredible power of your own bodyweight. Prepare to feel incredibly stable and powerful! Conditioning will focus on unleashing your engine, that we built in the Persist Cycle . We will Shift gears to a fastermore intense "for time" AMRAP and Chipper style workouts, moving beyond simple interval work and aerobic base building. These conditioning workouts will rotate dynamically throughout the week to maintain variety and deliver a fun and powerful exeriance. our cycle test, "Super Bario Bros.", is a chipper that will progressively challenge your kettlebell/dumbbell and gymnastics movements, demanding peak intensity and absolute confidence in your strength.

Hey R3VIVE Athletes, Our next programming cycle runs from September 15th to November 7th. It's an 8-week cycle that will continue to see strength progression carrying from what we did last cycle in Functional fitness. While Pump will begin working unilateral strength progressions. Functional Fitness: This cycle will continue our progression from the skill and lifts from last cycle, while trying to integrate them into more of our conditioning. We will do this by focusing on different portions of the lifts during our strength portion then performing smaller sets of gymnastic skills in our conditioning. You will also see conditioning that is purely focused on our aerobic capacity and working mainly on monostructural elements, such as running, rowing and biking. Build: This A-B week cycle is designed to build foundational strength through consistent progression, with a strong focus on Back Squats and Strict Presses, including variations for balanced weekly training. Conditioning will have some longer aerobic pieces and begin to include more skills like strict Toes-to-Bar, and Pull-ups from last cycle. See the chart below for details.

Our next programming cycle runs from July 12th to September 12th. It's an 8-week cycle, so it's a bit shorter than the last one. We'll be bringing back some Olympic lifts and continuing with the A-B week progressions. The post Functional Fitness Training Block: Resurgence Cycle appeared first on R3VIVE FITNESS.
