The Elite method

There is no random training here.

You should know why you are doing every rep. Each session is built on tested methods and proven techniques, follows the same nine-part structure, and the program changes every four weeks so your body keeps adapting.

01

Crocodile breathing

Reset your breathing pattern before you load anything.

02

Preparation for training

Soft tissue and mobility work targeted to the day’s lifts.

03

Specific warm-up

Ramp into the main movement with intent, not a treadmill.

04

Maximal & dynamic strength

Heavy and fast work while you are freshest.

05

Submaximal strength

Build volume and technique under manageable loads.

06

Hypertrophy

Reset your breathing pattern before you load anything.

07

Trunk (core) strength

A midsection that transfers force, not just planks.

08

GPP ultimate finishers

Conditioning that earns its place at the end.

09

Parasympathetic cool-down

Breathing to bring you down and start recovery immediately.
Programs

Pick your path.

Whether you want a coach on you every session or a programmed membership you run yourself, everything here follows the same method.

“Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to, and that’s saying a lot having trained in three different states. Michael has built a facility with the best equipment and setup in the area.”
Google review
“I was a very skinny guy looking to gain muscle and strength. I trained with Michael 3 days a week for around 4 months and put on a noticeable amount of muscle. His pricing is very reasonable.”
Google review
“My son and I have been lifting here for a couple of years. On my way to work, after work, or at 2am when I can’t sleep, I’ve always got access. Any time I’ve needed expertise, Michael has been excellent.”
