In fact, if your goal is to get stronger for real life, there’s a pretty good argument for training your body to do more than just move a weight along a predetermined path.
Think about it.
You don't sit down to a leg press when you pick up a heavy box.
You don't lie down in a hip thrust machine when you need to get something off the floor.
You don't use a cable machine when you have to carry groceries, climb stairs, get up from the ground, or catch yourself when you lose your balance.
Your body has to coordinate. Stabilize. Balance. React. Move.
That's why at Shred 27 our Strength training doesn't revolve around putting you on a machine and telling you how many reps to do.
You'll use:
• Kettlebells
• Dumbbells and free weights
• TRX
• Step-ups
• Boxes
• Battle ropes
• Wall balls
• Carries
• Rows
• Squats, hinges, pushes and pulls
• And plenty of other movements that challenge your body to work as a system.
Because we're not just trying to make you stronger inside the gym.
We're trying to make you stronger outside of it.
Stronger legs so stairs feel easier.
Stronger core so you're more stable.
Stronger shoulders so reaching, lifting and carrying aren't a chore.
Better balance and coordination so your body knows what to do when life doesn't go according to plan.
And here's another important distinction:
We aren't a giant group class with a bunch of people doing the same workout.
Our Strength program is Small Group Personal Training.
That means your workout is coach-led, your form is watched, your exercises can be adjusted, and your coach actually knows you.
Because there's a big difference between:
“Here's today's workout. Keep up.”
and
“Here's YOUR training. Let me coach you through it.”
Machines have their place.
But if you're 40+ and your goal isn't to become really good at sitting on machines...
Maybe your training should look a little more like life.
That's what we're after at Shred 27:
Strength you can actually use.
