We Offer Two Structured Saturday Training Options For Members And Guests:

Both Sessions Run Weekly And Are Designed To Help Beginners, Developing Athletes, And Competitors Progress Safely And Consistently.

A Coach’s Evaluation Is Strongly Recommended For Anyone Who Has Not Competed In Strongman Or Participated In A Strongman Events Class Before.


Strongman Events

The Strongman Events Class Is Run Similarly To An Actual Strongman Competition.

Each Week Typically Includes Three Or More Events, Such As:

  • Atlas Stones
  • Log Press Or Axle Press
  • Yoke Carries
  • Farmers Carries
  • Sandbag Loading
  • Deadlift Variations

Participants Are Grouped By Gender And Weight Class To Simulate Contest Structure And Preparation. Beginners Compete In The Novice Category Until Cleared By Coaching Staff To Progress.

This Class Is Ideal For:

  • Athletes Preparing For Competition
  • Lifters Wanting Event-Specific Skill Development
  • Those Ready To Train With Heavier Loads And Structured Standards

Class Times May Vary Weekly Depending On Equipment Setup And Competition Schedules. Events May Be Cancelled If The Coaching Staff Is Away Competing.


Strongman Conditioning

Strongman Conditioning Runs Each Saturday Morning At 10:00 AM.

This One-Hour Session Blends:

  • Strongman Implement Work
  • Resistance-Based HIIT
  • Steady-State Cardiovascular Training
  • Active Recovery And Core Training

It Is Designed To Improve Conditioning, Work Capacity, And Familiarity With Strongman Movements In A Lower-Pressure Environment.

Most Sessions Include 6–8 Participants And Are Capped At 12 To Maintain Coaching Quality.

Strongman Conditioning Is An Excellent Entry Point For Beginners And A Powerful Supplement For Experienced Athletes Who Need Conditioning Without Sacrificing Strength Development.

Events May Be Cancelled If The Coaching Staff Is Away For Competition.


Why Strongman Saturday Matters

Strongman Is Not Random Heavy Lifting.

It Is Applied Strength — Lifting, Carrying, And Controlling Awkward Loads Under Fatigue And Pressure.

Training This Way Builds:

  • Total-Body Strength
  • Grip And Trunk Stability
  • Movement Efficiency
  • Mental Toughness
  • Confidence Under Load

You Do Not Just Get Stronger In The Gym. You Become More Capable Everywhere.
