Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for July, 2022 … Kali Stewart!⁠

Finally…in what has to be the most overdue acknowledgement, we are pleased to present Kali with the honors she deserves. If our gym were a person, Kali would be our pulse as she is constantly coming up with ideas for gym outings and volunteering for anything and everything that keeps the fun and community aspect of our gym alive!

If you’ve attended classes with Kali, you’ve probably notice her rushing through the doors in her work scrubs to get prepped for classes, but she is also the first to smile at you and make you feel welcomed — something that we highly value at our gym!

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.
