Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for August, 2021 … Fatima Lacanlale!

Working with Fatima over the last year has been extremely rewarding for us. Fatima, like a lot of our new members, joined us with very minimal strength training knowledge and experience.

She’s steadily maintained the course, adhering to our structured plan for her, by training under our build track during group classes. Her patience has highly paid off, as she is now capable of performing movements from our perform track, safely and effectively. Yet Fatima, being the patient athlete she is, is still humble enough to know when she must revert to build for other movements.

This is a quality we highly in our athletes value and can sometimes be complicated to teach. Working with Fatima provides us assurance that our plans can work for many athletes, of all fitness levels.

We’re highly honored to highlight Fatima due to her hard work, commitment and coachability!

Persist Training Cycle.

By Derek Saffold • September 22, 2025
Hey R3VIVE Athletes, Our next programming cycle runs from September 15th to November 7th. It's an 8-week cycle that will continue to see strength progression carrying from what we did last cycle in Functional fitness. While Pump will begin working unilateral strength progressions. Functional Fitness: This cycle will continue our progression from the skill and lifts from last cycle, while trying to integrate them into more of our conditioning. We will do this by focusing on different portions of the lifts during our strength portion then performing smaller sets of gymnastic skills in our conditioning. You will also see conditioning that is purely focused on our aerobic capacity and working mainly on monostructural elements, such as running, rowing and biking. Build: This A-B week cycle is designed to build foundational strength through consistent progression, with a strong focus on Back Squats and Strict Presses, including variations for balanced weekly training. Conditioning will have some longer aerobic pieces and begin to include more skills like strict Toes-to-Bar, and Pull-ups from last cycle. See the chart below for details.

Our next programming cycle runs from July 12th to September 12th. It's an 8-week cycle, so it's a bit shorter than the last one. We'll be bringing back some Olympic lifts and continuing with the A-B week progressions. The post Functional Fitness Training Block: Resurgence Cycle appeared first on R3VIVE FITNESS.
