Our Approach
At Strength Studio our approach to resistance exercise stems from the high-intensity resistance training methodology that was pioneered by Arthur Jones in the 1970’s and 80’s. Arthur Jones challenged much of the fitness enthusiast, athletes, and bodybuilders alike in the way they exercised stating “work harder, but very briefly and infrequently.
Total body Workout
The workout will be a total-body routine that will consist of single-joint and multi-joint exercises that are performed safely with a slow-and-controlled speed of movement to the point of momentary muscle failure. Performing a total body workout creates a greater metabolic stimulus on your body (burn more calories), and makes it more efficient than a doing one body part each day. Your workouts will be challenging, safe, effective, and efficient. You will feel the difference immediately.
Safety | First do no harm
Safety is our first priority when training you. Our Exercise Professionals are committed to watching your form and speed of movement on every exercise to ensure your workouts are safe and still productive. The foundation of effective exercise is SAFE exercise.
Slow & Controlled speed of movement
While performing an exercise you will be coached to move slow-and-controlled. Moving slow-and-controlled while lifting the weight and lowering the weight has been proven to be safer.
1 set | Momentary Muscle Failure
During your workout you will perform one set of each exercise to momentary muscle failure. Momentary muscular failure is the point at which you can no longer physically perform a perfect rep with perfect form. The research has proven that performing one set to momentary muscle failure is all you need to do to achieve the best results in the least amount of time.
Intensity | effort
“Intensity”, also known as your level of effort, is the most important controllable factor in achieving the results you want from your workout. During your workouts you will be challenged, but this challenge is individualized to you and your level of physical fitness. We promise to tailor the intensity of your workout specifically to you on each exercise, each workout, and based on injuries, medical conditions, comfort level, etc.
Training Frequency
We (and the research) recommend training 1-2 times per week, at most, to get the best results, and that’s it! Once our body receives the exercise stimulus, it must now rest, recover, and adapt from the exercise you've done. Can you workout more than that? Yes. But the research says you don’t need too. In fact, anything more will probably hinder your results.
The exercise Equipment
Our resistance machines are state-of-the-art and include Medx, Nautilus, Hammer Strength, Rogers Pendulum, Power Block, and ARX (Adaptive Resistance Exercise).
Incorporated into every machine are decades worth of experience and millions of dollars spent in research and development. Each unit operates at a very low level of friction and offers a choice of resistance in 2-pound increments, ensuring a weight that is just right - not too heavy and not too light - for rapid and steady progress.
