The Train P3 6-WEEK TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE: May through June 2015

The Train P3 6-WEEK TRANSFORMATION CHALLENGE: May through June 2015
06 May

UPDATE: The spaces have been filled for this 6 Week Challenge!

Attention Train P3 Athletes! We are now recruiting for the next cycle of our Train P3 Transformation Challenge, slated to begin May 18th – 2015!

At Train P3 our goal is to help you become the strongest version of you.

We believe the best way to achieve that, is by by improving your performance and skills to help you become physically and mentally powerful.  Although training to have an impressive physique is not the main goal of our training, it is an expression of how healthy you are and how well you treat your body.  An athletic physique is an important part of being healthy, strong and confident; and it is a skill!  It requires one to follow a wholesome lifestyle with clean nutrition, intelligent training and adequate rest.  Unfortunately, finding this balance is not always easy; either because of time restrictions, lack of commitment, knowledge or support.

It is why we created a Train P3 6-Week Transformation Challenge.  

We put together the best of what we do at Train P3 for an intensive, informative, and transformational six-week program.  By the end of the challenge, you will not only be leaner and more athletic, but will have learned a sustainable way to take care of your body.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.

TRAINING ON THE GO! Don’t let limited time or space be your excuse.
13 Jan

We don’t always have time or available facility to get a perfect training session.  This does not mean that we should abandon our training till all conditions are ideal.  It is beneficial to incorporate bouts of training into our daily lives even if they are brief.  Your movement practice could be subtle.  You could have increased awareness of the way your foot strikes the ground as you step of the curb, or mobilizing your wrists while waiting in line.  If you are more bold, you can be as overt as doing a handstand, hanging on a railing, or sitting in a deep primal squat while waiting for your train.  The important part is that you do something, because the little things can add up to great results.

Check out the article I wrote for Mind Body Green about training on the go and the video of training at the airport below.

TRAIN P3 INDOOR GROUP PROGRAM IS HELD NOVEMBER through APRIL
LEARN IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR YOU!  

BECOME THE STRONGEST VERSION OF YOU!

WHAT:

Train P3 group class is a progressive, 4-week strength and conditioning program, designed for bodyweight athletes and anyone interested in becoming a stronger mover and a more functional human being.  

This class is NOT A BOOTCAMP, CROSSFIT OR HIIT!  We focus on movement quality and complexity over calories burned or number of reps achieved.  In a Train P3 group class, you will work hard, practice good form, learn new skills, get physically and mentally challenged, but also have fun, feel accomplished, learn about your body, become more functional, and experience support from an inspiring group of athletes.

Class includes an athletic, performance enhancing and injury prevention based warm-up with muscle activation and dynamic mobility drills.  The main part of the class focuses on challenging strength and power exercises performed as a circuit.  The training techniques and exercises are based on primal, at times explosive, strength moves that are selected from multiple training modalities including traditional strength training, Olympic weightlifting, martial arts, gymnastics, parkour, animal movements and other bodyweight conditioning disciplines. It’s likely you will do deep stretching, travel like a beast, crawl like an animal, slam or throw medicine balls, push and drag sleds, jump, hang, hand balance, and do challenging variations of pull ups, push ups and single leg exercises. In Train P3 sessions you will challenge your athleticism in fun, creative and beneficial ways to improve your endurance, power and strength and help you become a more balanced and explosive athlete.

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Single Leg V-Up

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Single Leg V-Up
16 Apr

WHAT IS IT FOR:

Single Leg V-up is an excellent trunk flexion, anterior core exercise.   It targets deep and superficial abdominals and hip flexor muscles.  Single leg V-up can also be used as a dynamic hamstring mobility exercise for people with stiff hamstrings.  In those cases single leg variation helps maintain better posture and is easier to balance than a regular V-Up.

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Table Top to Pullthrough

Train P3 Exercise of the Week – Table Top to Pullthrough
26 Mar

WHAT IS IT FOR:

This is an awesome core and shoulder mobility exercise!  It targets the anterior and posterior core, and stretches the anterior shoulder.  In the table top position, glutes, hamstrings and lower back are activated and front shoulders are being stretched. In the pullthrough position, deep abdominal musculature is being challenged to pull your hips back.  For some people, the bottom position works as a stretch for their hamstrings.  This exercise could even be used to strengthen, increase stability in the shoulders, and teach proper alignment.
