Performance Lab Classes
Performance Lab classes combine full-body strength-building exercises with metabolic conditioning and mobility work to make you stronger, more resilient to injury, and improve your cardiovascular fitness.
- Focuses on the fundamentals of strength training with an emphasis on developing proper technique to keep you safe
- Incorporates tempo work to help you improve control of your lifts, increase muscle tone, build stronger connective tissues, and increase muscular stability
- Utilizes a variety of implements such as barbells, dumbbells, medicine balls, bike/row/ski cardio machines, kettlebells, sleds, battle ropes, and more to challenge you in new ways and keep workouts interesting
- Incorporates unilateral (one-sided) movements to identify and improve strength discrepancies between right and left sides of the body
- Performance Lab workouts include a variety of strength training for larger muscle groups (squats, deadlifts, presses, pulling) and accessory work to focus on core and stabilizer muscles; sprint and high intensity interval training; and a longer metabolic conditioning (“metcon”) workout every Friday to build your aerobic engine
- Workouts can be modified to meet you where you’re at—whether it’s decreasing load or number of reps, adjusting a movement’s range of motion, or substituting a different movement—and adjusted accordingly with time as you progress
- Workouts offer the same benefits of improving muscular strength and aerobic fitness as CrossFit classes, without advanced gymnastics skills, high-impact movements, or Olympic weightlifting, making it a great option for both new and veteran athletes alike
