LIFT45 is a strength training program focused on progressive overload and rhythmic movements. While it includes short blocks of high intensity interval training and power bursts, the main sets move slower, working rhythmically to allow heavier, controlled lifting and creating time under tension. This program is offered in Full Body workouts, as well as Split Workouts of Upper Body and Lower Body lifts. Over time, you’ll experience many different formats/templates to build strength and keep workouts fresh. 

Full Body workouts are offered on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Every Full Body Workout will highlight all major muscle groups, and feature different focuses for each working block. Full Body workouts are unique, stand alone classes. While workout templates will be consistent for a cycle, the exercises will change every day.

Split workouts (Upper & Lower) are offered Monday and Thursday (Lower), and Tuesday and Friday (Upper). These workouts feature one focus exercise that changes monthly. While all other exercises change from week to week, the (1) focus exercise will be revisited for about 4 weeks. This provides members with the opportunity to enhance their form and range of motion, learn more about the movement and how it feels in their own bodies, and build strength using progressive overload. Just like Full Body workouts, the template is consistent for a cycle, changing out all but the focus exercise of the month each day.

In addition to offering a kick-ass workout, LIFT45 coaches provide education throughout the duration of the class. You will learn how to LIFT properly, and learn to identify what feels good in your body and what may not serve you. The goal is to help you to level up in your fitness journey, and ultimately, enhance functional living.

Comfortable, athletic attire that allows you to move freely with good range of motion.

Strength/cross training shoes that have flat soles and will allow good connection to the floor under you, have a wide toe box, and flatter arch. Running shoes are not recommended, as they tend to have a thick sole, the heel is usually lifted higher than the toe box, and they don’t offer good support for lateral movements. Here are a few recommendations for shoes if you’re in the market! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like more information on what shoes work best for LIFT45.

Because our space is small, we strongly recommend having a pair of shoes that you bring with you and use only in-studio. Please refrain from walking into the LIFT studio with “street” shoes on, as dirt tracks on our mats very easily. If you don’t have a separate pair of LIFT shoes, you are welcome to workout without shoes (must be wearing socks), however, please understand that we have heavy weights around, and that by going without shoes you are assuming possible risk of injury.
