“Eat less and move more”
“No days off”
“Push your max effort every time you exercise”
“If you didn’t sweat buckets, it wasn’t a worthwhile workout”
“Cut carbs and train fasted”

And it’s where the fitness industry has gone so very wrong…because THESE are the exact philosophies that can and will hold you back from achieving meaningful progress.

Better is Better
In today’s fitness market, cardio is overhyped, variety is used in excess, 6-week starvation challenges are the norm, and more is treated as better.
Our view is rather basic but, in a sense, a counterculture position in the gym scene: we treat strength as our base and prioritize quality over quantity, allowing clients to thrive as they age.
We do this through quality of movement and consistency, training over exercising, and a firm belief that more isn’t better…better is better!
