We teach simple strength training using safe, natural movements and a barbell. The natural movements mirror the ways you move (or should move) out in the world. They include:

Squatting:
Whether you're getting out bed, sitting down onto or getting up off a chair, using the toilet, tying your shoe laces, life asks you to squat almost every day. As you get older and weaker, this gets harder.

Bending Over: 
Placing a package on the ground, feeding your dog, picking-up the keys you dropped, hugging your shorter partner or kids. These are some of the common daily activities that require you to bend over.

Pressing:
Pressing refers to any movements where you must raise your arm(s) over your head: e.g. Putting items up on a shelf, placing your luggage in an overhead rack, tossing kids around in a pool, flagging down your waiter, etc.

Of course, the squat, deadlift, and press are also staple movements for just about every athlete, every sport, and every occupation that requires physical performance. Without exception, athletes and workers of all ages should learn to get strong in these movements.
