What is Sustainable Training?

It means programming in accordance with the realities of your life and coaching in collaboration with you.

When you produce energy sustainably, your methods are scientifically informed, strategically executed, and environmentally conscious. You minimize waste and you prioritize the renewability of your resources. You are as invested in having energy for the future as you are in having it now.

Sustainable training is a lot like that.

When you train sustainably, your methods are informed by the principles of exercise and sports science, strategically implemented, and contribute to a thriving ecosystem among coaches and your teammates. You preserve your ability to reach FUTURE goals while you achieve PRESENT objectives.

Put another way, sustainable training empowers individuals to achieve NOW while building the capacity to achieve LATER. And that means sustainable training prioritizes safe progress. Which does not translate to “slow”. For us, “safe” means “strategic,” which is also “goal specific.”

The success of sustainable training hinges on our coaches. Professional, dedicated, knowledgeable, and responsive, they establish meaningful relationships with their clients defined by trust. These relationships promote ongoing feedback loops between coaches and clients, the prerequisite for sustainable training.

For clients, ongoing feedback loops are a means of self advocacy and autoregulation. For coaches, they’re a critical tool for gathering the data required to design appropriately challenging programs.

The programs we design evolve with clients’ changing lifestyles, needs, and goals.

They continuously strike the optimal balance among fatigue management, progressive overload, concurrent training, and phase potentiation — a balance that empowers our athletes to sustain progress throughout their lives.

Same as solar panels and wind turbines power communities for years and years to come.
