Foundation Session (Your Starting Point)

The twelve movement standards we train
The program is built around 12 key movements that develop strength, mobility, balance, and endurance. You don’t need to know these movements beforehand. Each one has beginner, intermediate, and advanced variations, and we find a starting level that fits your body.
curl
Jump
Push up
side bend
single leg top down deadlift
SKI ERG
deadlift
squat
pull up
press
lunge
Step
Some of these may sound intimidating—especially pull-ups or push-ups. That’s normal. We coach versions that work for people who are brand new, and progressions that challenge even very fit clients.
