WHY IS SPRING A GOOD TIME TO START WEIGHTLIFTING
Your new fitness journey has come to a point where you want a new focus. The New Year's fitness goal was to get strong, be more active, and feel better, but you want a little bit more of a challenge. Weightlifting can be a great addition for you. Weightlifting is a barbell sport that comprises the two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk. While learning these lifts you will also train the squat, deadlift, presses, rows, and other strength exercises. What makes weightlifting so challenging but so fun?
THE POWER OF COMMUNITY & ACCOUNTABILITY IN GROUP COACHING
Group fitness isn’t just about breaking a sweat; it’s about building a supportive community where individuals grow stronger together. When you join a PFP Method class, you're not just committing to your own fitness journey, you're becoming part of an experience that motivates, encourages, and holds you accountable.
THE GREATEST GIFT
The greatest gift I’ve ever received that didn’t come wrapped in a check would definitely be my coaches! When I first walked into PFP, I was a stay-at-home mom in desperate need of an escape from my own four walls. Enter Gina and Caleb—two wonderful humans who convinced me to get back into fitness after I’d let it all go (you know, thanks to the magic of having babies).
PFP METHOD & THE BENEFITS OF GROUP TRAINING
Exercise for some can be a solitary pursuit. Some people are very self-motivated and can easily stick to a training program that aligns with their goals and keeps them on a regular schedule. While this is great for some individuals, others need other avenues to training and fitness overall. One option that has been very successful for decades now is group training classes. Group training offers many benefits to both a group and an individual. At PFP, our group class, The PFP Method, provides our members with all the tools they need to get stronger, healthier, and build a sense of community in our space.
WEIGHTLIFTING SEMINAR: What to Expect and What You Can Learn
Weightlifting, as a sport, requires a lot of consistent and focused training over a long period of time. During that long period of time, many lifters will come to points in their training where they feel stuck or confused about what they need to focus on or work on. Weightlifting seminars consist of many lifters and coaches alike coming together at one time to learn and understand new concepts or techniques collectively.
