3-Step Intake: Consult

Why consult?

The consult is the first and most vital step in our 3-Step Intake . This is where we deep dive into your goals and your “Why” to begin your fitness journey.

When many gyms tend to ask the superficial questions surrounding your goals, we help you build a connection with them. We believe that if you are doing work that you believe is important and necessary, then you will always have passion for your work. Over time we’ve learned that developing this connection to your “Why” will always lead to results.

To start, we’ll give you an opportunity to learn a little bit about us. We’ll then spend a majority of the time having an in-depth and focused conversation to learn more about you:

Your lifestyle, routine, sleep habits, nutrition, what’s important to you, where you’re starting in fitness and where you’d like to be.

From there, we’ll review our findings and use this information to determine the most optimal strategy for success. This may look like:

  • On-Ramp (followed by group classes)
  • Personal Training
  • Program Design or
  • Hybrid Group Training

No matter the path, our overarching goal is to challenge and support you toward a higher fitness IQ. The learning begins with understanding your “Why”. This foundation of learning will guide you in establishing the habits that will allow you to live an active life into your latter years and, of course, experience the results you sought.

Come sit down (in-person or virtually) for an in-depth consult and see if we’re a good fit.

Why Can't I Always Lift My Max?

By Derek Saffold • February 19, 2026
Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.

This will be the firt training cycle of the new year! this is a chance to refocus and get in some good work to help you reach your goals! lets all work together to crush this training cycle! Functional Fitness: The Apex Cycle is designed to make your year-long strength work truly functional, focusing on controlled, powerful movements, complexes under fatigue, and mandated touch-and-go reps to prepare you for mixed-modal workouts. Our strength culminates in the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," while conditioning features a wide variety of time domains, movement volume builds (like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees), and regular Friday retests of past workouts to track your progress and ensure you perform your absolute best. Build: Designed to bring together all your training from the past year and prepare you for your strongest performance yet. Our strength work will focus on controlled, powerful movements, building you up to test your limits with both the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," which challenges your skill and strength balance. Expect a well-rounded program including unilateral strength, skill work, and core stability, with dedicated days for deadlifts, squats, gymnastics, and varied accessory work to keep you healthy and constantly progressing. For conditioning, we're tailoring the work to challenge you in new ways, featuring a wide variety of time domains and movements, and a specific volume build on common movements like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees. Instead of a standard test/retest, we'll be performing regular retests of past workouts on Fridays, allowing you to easily track your progress and see how far you've come. Our weekly template balances intensity—with short, fast metcons on Mondays—with recovery, incorporating lower impact endurance work on Thursdays, and a strategic taper toward the end of the week to set you up for success on Friday! Partner workouts will wrap up your week every Saturday, bringing the whole community together.
