WHAT WE DO

 

 

What's the difference?
In gyms and health clubs throughout the world the typical workout consists of isolation movements and extended aerobic cardio sessions. The fitness community from trainers to the magazines has the exercising public believing that lateral raises, curls, leg extensions, sit-ups and the like combined with 20-40 minute stints on the stationary bike or treadmill are going to lead to some kind of great fitness.

 

Well, at Hc2, we work exclusively with compound, strength based movements and shorter, high intensity conditioning sessions. We've replaced the lateral raise with barbell presses, the curl with pull-ups, and the leg extension with squats. For every long duration conditioning effort our athletes will do five or six at “sprint” durations. 

Why? Because strength training with compound (vs. isolation) movements and high intensity anaerobic (vs. LSD cardio) conditioning is radically more effective at eliciting nearly any desired fitness result.

 

Startlingly, this is not a matter of opinion but solid irrefutable scientific fact and yet the marginally effective old ways persist and are nearly universal. Our approach is consistent with what is practiced in elite training programs associated with major university athletic teams and professional sports. We endeavor to bring state-of-the-art coaching techniques to the general public and athlete who haven't access to current technologies, research, and coaching methods.

 

In other words, we TRAIN for results… we don’t just EXERCISE!
