Add Mobility, Power, and Hypertrophy.
Develop functional balance and accelerate progress with complementary movement training.
The human body is remarkably diverse in its capacity for movement. No single form of exercise is inherently superior to another. Each serves as a complement, offering unique benefits and challenges. All modes of movement work together to create balance and competency. Developing these capacities in harmony fosters well-rounded physical aptitude and supports long-term, sustainable health.
When the body flows through multiple movement disciplines, each with its own range of exercises, patterns, intensities, tempos, and angles — it remains in a continual state of adaptation. Training the body’s various capacities simultaneously, and at an individually appropriate level, promotes profound improvements in both overall health and physical form.
The ability to move freely and easily.
Mobility is the practice of working to allow our connective tissues and joints to have unrestricted and appropriate ranges of motion. When we are mobile we are agile, and when we are agile we are able.
Mobility training can be performed through the practice and flow of yoga, static and dynamic stretching, flexibility targets, active postural alignment, animal movements, myofascial release techniques and much more.

Mobility
To move or travel with great speed or force.
Power, as it relates to physical fitness is the exertion of force. Force can be generated and exerted through nearly every extremity of the body, often activating in conjunction to one another. Whether we are generating energy through sustained force output or exerting explosive force through sudden and rapid movements, power output is an essential capability of the human body.
Power training can be performed through plyometrics, speed and quickness drills, sprints, slam ball throws, battle ropes and lots more.
Power
The enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in size of its cells.
Hypertrophy is what occurs when our tissues grow as a result of training. Nearly all movement mediums produce hypertrophic effects, albeit the target area and rate of growth is highly variable. Strength and hypertrophy are distinctly different. We can be strong without big muscles, and we can have big muscles without being strong. Strength is our capacity to produce force, while hypertrophy is the increase in size of i.e. muscles.
Hypertrophy training through the use of free weights, notably barbells, dumbbells and kettlebells is arguably the fastest way to increase muscular size.
