The Programming Change at Fixed on Fitness

Changing programming. It's a scary leap, but changing the way we train at the FOF Training Center has been such a positive experience. After a few weeks of blending the programming we had used for two years with programming from Functional Bodybuilding, we made the official switch to the new program on February 28th. As a gym, we have now gone through one full 6-week cycle, a benchmark week, and are in week 2 of the current cycle.  The work, the transition, the change has been 100% worth it.  We are watching the movement patterns and strength improve in our members every single day. Body composition is improving. Strength imbalances are improving. Confidence is improving. Aerobic capacity is improving. Body awareness is improving. For me, this change was necessary because if I want longevity…like I want to be doing this forever…I need to be using tools other than just intensity, speed, and heavy loads. I need days where I work at 70-80% effort. I need days where I push the pace. I need days that are lighter and days that are heavier. I need to work my mobility and push my joints to get stronger at end range. I need to learn to control each and every movement. I need less kipping pull ups and more strict pull ups. I need time to slow down and focus on moving as perfect as possible. I need dumbbell and unilateral work. At {almost} 40… I want to look good. I want to move well. I want to feel good. I want to be strong. I want to be healthy. I want to stay injury free. I don’t want to track all of my workouts. I don’t want to count macros. I don’t want to be sore all the time. I don’t want to perform the most complex skills. I encourage you to take a look at your training. Is it in alignment with your goals? Do you feel good? Can you do this style of workout for the next 30 years? We’d love to show you how we are doing things at FOF. You can come in, try a week for free, and see how you feel.
