Discover how high-intensity training and random workouts are a mis-match for 99% of the population, and why prioritizing things like strength and aerobic fitness will allow you to improve your clients’ fitness while building a killer physique, and not lose them to injury.
High-Intensity training and random workouts simply are not sustainable and will likely take people further away from their goals in the long-run.
In fact, this balls-to-the-wall training mentality often leads to injury and burnout. Even advanced trainees fall into the trap… They believe all they need to do to keep making progress is to train “harder.”

Owner and head coach of CrossFit REP & Owner and head programmer at Box Programming
I started just like you, thinking the harder and more punishing the workout was, the better it was. I trained like a total meathead, and while I certainly got stronger, I was always dealing with an injury, and eventually over-trained myself into a really bad place, my sleep and love-life were even affected.
At this point I started reading and listening to everything I could find from other people in the strength and conditioning world. It always made sense to me that CrossFit was a blend of other disciplines, and those experts in the filed probably knew a lot that we didn’t.
I got certified by OPEX, took Julien Pineau’s seminars, and read books by Poliquin, Veronshanksy and Siff. It was at this point that I met Jason Brown, even though I wasn’t looking for programming, everything Jason said made SO MUCH SENSE.
I knew the programming was going to be great given everything I had heard on our call, but I wasn’t prepared for how effective it would be for myself and all the members at our gym. Everyone was hitting numbers in the squat that we hadn’t hit even after doing a Smolov cycle, and we didn’t even squat 4 days a week! I was so impressed that I bought into the business, and then ended up taking over completely so Jason could pursue writing books on strength training, running coaching certifications and training individuals.
That’s right… our method spread like wildfire throughout the CrossFit and personal training community and other gym owners came to us for our programming methods. Experts who make a living helping others get back into shape hired us so we could use our methods to get their clients strong, fit, and healthy–safely and more efficiently. We’ve been using this method to program for other gyms for over 8 years and they love it.
Instead of following workouts that leave their members hurt, exhausted, and unimpressed with the results–and eventually leave… we take care of all their programming for their group training so their members stay healthy, happy, and more importantly–get amazing results.
Systematized warm-ups that improve coordination, prime the nervous system, increase blood flow and fire up the prime movers for the day's session.
Movements that line up with your clients goals, and will keep them from suffering overuse injuries.
Actual GPP work that will benefit all populations, not the bastardized GPP workouts that most are doing.
Doing single limb work lowers risk of injury by improving balance for your clients and also provides physique-shredding hypertrophy benefits.
High rep band work has been proven to improve connective tissue strength and bullet proof the body.
Intelligently programmed main lifts to realize gains all across the strength curve and keep injury at bay.
Increase type II fiber composition to help with body recomp and make your clients feel and perform like they're 10-20 years younger.
Breath work, stretching and restorative workouts built into the program so your clients can continue to improve their performance daily.
No, this program is designed for the average size functional fitness qym. There are certain pieces like the sled that are invaluable for many reasons, but we always provide alternative options.
This can vary wildly even in the same gym based on how many people show up, how much coaching they need etc. We test all workouts in our testing gym, and have extra accessory work that can fill up remaining class time or be done after class.
This program is designed to be started on a Monday and runs through a Friday. It can be started anytime, doesn’t require a deload before beginning, or testing 1RMs before starting. We recommend giving your coaches several days to review the materials, and a team meeting.
It’s effective to tell your members that you’re starting a cycle that focuses on strength and aerobic conditioning. They’ll see things they might not be used to, like recovery roiented workouts, but once they FEEL how much stronger and less beat down they are they will trust the science.
This programming is geared towards EVERYONE, because everyone needs the same things, more focus on data driven, tried and true strength and conditioning methods, and significantly backing off workouts that leave them beatdown after every session. We give scaling options for everyone from trainees who have never been in the gym, to advanced athletes.
