FITNESS EFfeCTS (Endurance Flexibility Core-Training Strength)

Fitness EFfeCTS came about while I was training a group of high school basketball players utilizing ideas from a program called SPARQ training where there is a focus on speed, power, agility, reaction and quickness. Prior to a training session one day my wife asked if she could join the boys and go through the training. After the training session was over she said how much she loved it and wondered if I would train her using the same techniques but eliminating a few things she thought were too hard. I told her that if she would get a group of people together I would modify the program so it would utilize the same techniques that athletes use but would be adaptable to the non athlete as well. After several modifications to account for individuals from beginner to advance level fitness the Fitness EFfeCTS program was created. Each class or training session is set for a constant 45 to 50 minutes of strength and cardio with a large variety of exercises to keep the session fun, exciting and productive. Because we are not utilizing specific machines and focus on using more medicine balls, bands and body weight we can adapt to each individual by adjusting the weight of the ball, the tension of the band or the positioning of the body for more or less utilization of body weight.

Because of the results of each participant it has become a word of mouth advertising program. When people see their friends and family change their body composition they become curious and want to be a part of it. This is one of those programs where success creates success. We all admire certain athletes or hold them up as role models so if we want what they have why not train like they train.
