Strength and Conditioning Class

Forge a stronger, more resilient you with our Strength & Conditioning class, complete with a comprehensive onboarding program to set you up for success. This class emphasizes proper technique and progressive overload to enhance your power and performance. Start with the fundamentals and advance confidently, knowing you're prepared to tackle every challenge head-on.

What Is The Structure Of Classes

Each of our 60-minute classes at Between The Bumpers is structured to provide a comprehensive workout experience, designed to improve fitness in a balanced and effective manner. The class flow includes:

1. Warm-Up: We start with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your body for the workout, increasing your heart rate and loosening up your muscles.

2. Skill Work: Next, we focus on skill development, where you'll practice specific movements that are key to the day’s workout. This could include anything from Olympic lifts to gymnastic skills, tailored to improve your technique and efficiency.

3. Strength Training: The session then progresses to strength training, which aims to improve your overall strength through exercises that target major muscle groups.

4. Metabolic Conditioning: Following strength training, we shift to metabolic conditioning, a high-intensity workout designed to boost your cardiovascular endurance and metabolic rate.

5. Cool Down: Finally, we conclude with a cool-down period to gradually reduce your heart rate and stretch your muscles, aiding in recovery and flexibility.

   Each phase is designed to build upon the last, ensuring you get a full-body workout that enhances strength, endurance, and mobility, all within a supportive community setting.

How Do I Get Started?

At Between The Bumpers, we ensure that all newcomers to our Strength & Conditioning classes begin their fitness journey with our On-Ramp program. This introductory course consists of up to five personalized 1-on-1 training sessions. The On-Ramp program is meticulously designed to prepare you physically and mentally for regular classes, teaching you the essential exercises, terminology, and class flow. Our goal is to build a solid fitness base, reduce injury risk, and ensure you are confident in your movements. By the end of the On-Ramp, you’ll be ready to join the community with confidence and a greater understanding of how to achieve your fitness goals safely and effectively.

Scaling Exercises in Fitness Training: A Comprehensive Guide

Scaling exercises is a crucial component of fitness training that ensures all participants, regardless of their skill level or physical condition, can safely and effectively engage in workout routines. The need to scale can arise from various factors such as injuries, chronic pain, difficulties with certain movement patterns, or when the weight is too heavy to be lifted with proper technique. Additionally, fatigue can compromise an individual's ability to maintain technique throughout a workout session. On the other hand, reasons such as disliking an exercise or avoiding challenges are not valid for scaling. It's important for coaches to recognize and balance the needs and preferences of clients to promote both safety and personal growth.
