Training Philosophy

Aggressive offers an inclusive fitness program that incorporates training principles from numerous training methods. We consider our system to be Strength and Conditioning program that uses CrossFit as a resource as well as several other influences, such as traditional bodybuilding and endurance training. The key word is “SYSTEM” as in a group of ideals and factors that work in synergy and complement each other to provide a desired result or function.

We believe that a true training program cannot be random or left to chance. Everything must be done with a purpose, always working towards an end goal. Our system involves and takes into account the three metabolic pathways, also known as energy systems, and trains each of them individually.

All three of these energy systems (Creatine Phosphate (CP), Lactate/Anaerobic, and Oxidative/Aerobic) are periodized in a fashion that makes sense, and is logical. Our athletes are involved in the process of learning and understanding what they’re doing, why they’re doing it, and what we hope to accomplish by doing it. Therefore, a key component to what we do is an educational piece so that our athletes (and yes, everyone that enters our gym is considered an athlete regardless of level) actually learn how to train, rather than just walking in and doing what they’re told without ever making any sense of it. All of this comes together through the use of constantly varied functional movements that keep workouts fresh and fun.

We also offer nutrition advice and life coaching, as these are integral aspects to true health and fitness. One only spends one to two hours a day in the gym, so special attention should be given to remainder of the day so that our lifestyle is in sync to our training regime and conducive to our health and fitness goals.
