Introducing our Gym M.O.M (Member of the Month) for September 2020 … Corey Charpentier !

Aside from being able to fully load the bar from end to end whenever it’s deadlift day, Corey is one of our most engaged, intense athletes. You better believe that us coaches need to be prepared to take on his insightful questions, which in return makes us better!

Read more about Corey and what he brings to our community. Also be sure to request to be added to his Christmas call list

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
It was to get a better overall fitness that was cross functional compared to focusing on just one discipline of fitness.

Q: Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living?
Working Professional, I am in the IT world as an L2 Service desk tech.

Q: What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym?

Deadlifts, Squats, American or Russian Kettlebell Swings

Every single gymnastics movement.

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
R3vive coaches will value your thoughts and opinions so always feel as if you can speak up for when you don’t feel comfortable with a movement.

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
This is the hardest question out of all these questions; therefore, I will leave it to anything that contains way more sugar than I should be eating.

Q: What’s your spirit animal and why?
 A Silverback Gorilla, because they are willing to defend the closest people in their lives but also some of the kindest and gentle animals

Q: What is your guilty pleasure?
How can what brings pleasure be guilty? Nah I guess being really, really lazy.

None.

Q: An interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you!

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.
