Goal-Based Group Program
At Renascent we intentionally keep our class sizes small to ensure each person has personalized help during classes. We like to think of our program as a semi-private group experience. This allows us to customize the daily group workout to help each person reach their personal goals.
We designed our goal-based program, so our members will get the most from their workouts. To get the most from a workout routine, it's important to start becoming clear on what your fitness goals are.
Example Goals:
Accel in a sport.
Stay in shape for hiking.
Look great!
Longevity
Keep up with the kids.
Whatever your goals are we are here to help you achieve them. Not only to meet your goals but to enjoy the process along the way!
Two basic questions we need to be asking ourselves:
What is my overall fitness goal?
How to approach today's workout with that goal in mind? (luckily our coaches can help out here)
Let's look at the workout below to get an idea of how our goal-based program works;
Complete the Following:
800m Run
20 Thrusters
30 Pull-ups
Target Stimulus Goal: Complete in 8-12 minutes
Let's break this down, there are dozens of different ways a coach could customize this workout. This workout will be completed by a small group of individuals, each person may have a slight variation of this depending on their unique goals or experience (this is where a professional coach come in handy!).
For simplicity's sake, I will show two possible variations for two different scenarios:
Scenario #1: Brand New Member with two weeks' experience. Plans to attend 3 times a week. The goal, keep up with the kids.
Custom variation #1:
600m Run
20 Dumbbell Thrusters (20-30 lbs)
30 Ring Rows
Reducing the run distance will allow this person to complete the workout in the target time window to get the correct stimulus. Furthermore the dumbbell thruster will help with working imbalances and develop position. Lastly, the ring row is a great way to begin building strength for pull-ups especially when the athlete is new to functional training.
Scenario #2: Experienced member with 4+ years. Attends the gym 4+ times a week. The current goal focused on strength.
Custom variation #2:
800m Run (sub 4:00)
20 Barbell Thrusters (115-135 lbs)
30 Strict Pull-ups
Providing the specific run completion time will help push the more experienced athlete to get what they are looking for within this workout. The barbell variation will allow them to push more weight to challenge them as well as push more weight to build strength. Lastly, the strict pull-ups will help to further develop the strength versus a kipping pull-up as this coincides with their current fitness goals.
From these two examples, you can see slight variations within the same workout. These changes will help each person move in the direction of their unique goals.
