On Monday August 25th, Athletic Lab will be restarting our hugely successful Strength program. On average, members who participated in the Athletic Lab Strength program improve their maxes in the squat, press, front squat and deadlift by over 10% in just 7 weeks and gave the program rave reviews.
The Athletic Lab Strength program is a specialized 8 week training block with periodized progressions designed to enhance basic barbell strength. Barbell strength is foundational to performance in many strength sports like Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit. In fact, many CrossFitters will find that they are able to significantly improve their CrossFit performances JUST by getting stronger. The program will take place during our 7am and 7pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes.
The class will occur DURING our normally scheduled CrossFit classes at those time slots. As a result, our Performance Fitness members who attend during those time slots will do the Strength workout of the day rather than the workout seen in our other daily time slots. Those who sign up specifically for the Strength block will be required to pre and post test, will receive a plan with customized prescribed weights for each session, and will be expected to attend ONLY Strength sessions. If you meet these requirements please speak to an Athletic Lab staff member about switching their membership to the lower priced Strength Membership options. Once completed, you may return to your prior Performance Fitness membership. If you’d like to continue to have access to all of our Performance Fitness classes you can keep your existing membership exactly as it is. The Strength program will start on 8.25.14.
