let's redefine strength
Strength training isn’t bodybuilding. It’s not fantastic fitness fun or random acts of variety. It’s not training to failure nor is it pushing past pain. It’s not bro splits and mirror selfies. Strength training is learning life’s most important movement patterns and then getting strong in those patterns.
At The Movement Lab, we combine the best of biomechanics and strength training in a clear, twice-weekly personal training program.
