We Are Different From Everyone Else
HIIT, Bootcamps, and Other Group Fitness Classes
- Everyone does [pretty much] the same thing
- Encouragement and instructions, not coaching
- Results tend to plateau quickly
I challenge any fitness brand to match or beat my results. Less expensive than a Active NRG group session.
Free Weights at a Large Format Commercial Gym
- Copied exercises often with incorrect or unsafe technique
- Program is not specific to you
- No chalk, no platforms
Lines for racks during peak hours, poor equipment, no coaching, and no programming. Less expensive than a Active NRG group session.
Personal Training that isn’t active NRG
- Majority are inexperienced, uninformed coaches
- Ineffective exercises, reps/set schemes, and loads
- Results plateau quickly
We challenge any personal trainer to beat our results. More expensive than a Active NRG group session.
How it's Different
SIMPLICITY
The fitness industry today relies on novelty and complexity instead of producing results. Here it’s simple, work hard, and be effective. And it works.
No treadmills, no balls, no yoga mats. Just, everything you need to get strong and nothing more.
EVERYONE GETS DEDICATED COACHING
Not just supervision in a large class by a minimally qualified “trainer,” you get dedicated coaching and individual programming from a strength and conditioning coach.
Group training sessions here at Active NRG are capped at 6 trainees for group sessions to ensure high quality coaching.
TESTED & PROVEN
Mark Reppitoes ‘The Starting Strength Method’ was refined through decades of coaching and millions of hours of refinement, to produce the most effective and efficient strength program in existence. And this is where we start.
The best-selling book, Starting Strength, is widely viewed as the authority on strength training.
EVERYONE MAKES PROGRESS
Most other fitness programs are about how you feel (tired, sore, and sweaty) after your workout. This programme produces results you can measure – session by session, week after week, month after month.
If you can lift more today than you could last week, you’re getting stronger.
When an exercises does not enable you to continually lift heavier, the exercises are not helping your strength.
This means that kettlebells, kickboxing, playing with the dumbbells, pilates, yoga, bicycling, jogging, running, swimming, shuffleboard, gardening, balancing on colorful balls while waving chrome weights in the air, treadmilling, elliptical machining, stair-climbing, rock climbing, wood chopping, loading hay on a trailer, snow shoveling, air-squatting, push-upping, and chin-upping, are not strength training.
It may be hard, you may get tired doing it, and it may even make you sore, but it’s not strength training because it cannot make you stronger. Some of these things may require strength, but doing them cannot possibly develop strength since 1) none of them are limited by your absolute strength, and 2) they do not require constantly increasing force production. But all of them will benefit from your increased strength developed elsewhere.
I start withs strength training, and since strength benefits everything else, the programme improves everything else that you can do physically – including everything on the above list.
