A SMART ALTERNATIVE

Push through barriers with box jumps, ball slams and kettlebells.  Lose your breath on treadmills, rowers and bikes. Every precisely engineered, science-backed WOD is different, but always fun.

BEYOND THE PHYSICAL

A Member's Story

People call me crazy. I'm ok with that. They also call me strong AF, which is even better.

different day, different zone

“There's a weekly schedule, but every day is a different workout, targeting a muscle group and heart rate zone.”

GETTING STARTED

“This is what I look forward to. A workout that challenges me and people (who I now call friends) that inspire me.”

THE MAIN EVENT

"Clever programming means I can train every day without risking injury. After warming up, we dive right into full-body strength or conditioning. The moves and level of intensity change, but the hands-on guidance and attention of the coach are constant."

COOLING DOWN

"The cool down is key. We stretch out and talk about what we just accomplished. Coach says something that keeps us inspired and there's always some nutrition talk. After class, most of us head to the sauna to talk about life."

explore the science

With 12 weeks of progressive, daily-written programming, this class is designed so that you can work towards your goals and train every day, without the risk of injury. 
Lifting heavy weights places the good kind of stress on muscles, which eventually makes you stronger and your muscles bigger. Not only will your newfound strength enhance overall physical performance, but it will make daily activities easier. 
Weight-bearing exercise stimulates bone growth and increases bone density. Regular weightlifting can help prevent age-related bone loss and even reduce the risk of osteoporosis. 
Cardio isn’t always king when it comes to weight management and fat loss. An intense weightlifting session can blast calories and boost your metabolism, giving your body more natural fat-burning capacity even at rest. 
Barbell exercises demand explosive power. We’re looking at you, the clean & jerk. Mastering these moves will improve your ability to generate force quickly, making you better at other activities like sprinting, jumping and throwing. 
Regular weightlifting can have positive effects on mental health,  reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, boosting self-esteem and body image, and improving overall mood and cognitive function.

Alpha Faqs

The number of participants varies by club ranging from 6–12 members. Each class is led by a certified trainer who provides individualized attention to each participant to ensure each member is having an effective, safe, and challenging workout!

An Alpha Strength class is a full-body progressively programmed workout with a blend of power/Olympic weightlifting (strength) and metabolic conditioning (cardio). A primary focus on this class will be spent on lifting platforms, progressing through increasingly technical movement patterns with the guidance of a coach. While this format is centered around strength, cardiovascular training is programmed to heart rate zones for a complete program.

This class is open to all experience levels! Our certified personal trainer will assist you in finding modifications if necessary to ensure all members are having a wonderful experience and a challenging workout!

Alpha classes are one hour in length customized with a warmup, full workout and time for cool down.
