Frequently asked questions
What is endurance training?
Endurance Training is a concept describing how someone can use a combination of specific intensity, volume, and frequency of intervals or steady state sessions in a steady state activity to complete a distance or duration at a faster rate of speed. An example is improving your ability to run further before you feel like stopping, or covering 1 mile faster than your previous best attempt.
We have helped numerous individuals elevate their endurance fitness level.

Establish an objective and replicable measurement of the stimulus put on the body today and over any extended period of time. 2, helps identify a basis for your coach to decide how to progress a training program. And 3, to measure a recent performance against another past session.
What is included in a Movement and Cardio Fitness Assessment?
The Movement Assessment is a pre-program screening tool designed to identify compensatory movement patterns that are indicative of increased injury risk and inefficient movement that causes reduced performance.
The Cardio Fitness Assessment is an initial baseline graded-exercise assessment on a treadmill to track a clients’ bodies ability to perform at various intensities as the stimulus increases onto the body while running. It tells us how your body copes with specific levels of training intensity and exactly how close or distant your fitness is at to meet the demands for your goal we identified. This assessment is typically completed within 15 minutes after an extensive and guided warm-up process. Pace, Effort, Heart Rate, Running Power, and Running Metrics are all recorded simultaneously during this assessment to use for individual review.
