Strong Core, No Crunches

Had a great 2-day seminar teaching the fundamentals of compound movements and how to build a solid foundation of strength to an awesome group of people. Looking forward to the next one ...

I've spent some time putting together a nice little seminar for anyone interested in coming to learn a thing or two about programming for strength, as well as get some hands-on coaching/training on technique for a variety of lifts . . . I'll even provide lunch on Saturday. Please message me directly or follow the link below to register. Still plenty of seats available.

Online program design is very popular these days. While I'm certainly not against online programming, I do believe the in-person aspect is still not only beneficial and important, but crucial in teaching. Never once have a had a client, whether novice or advanced, that hasn't benefitted greatly from an in-person coaching session. The "coaches eye" on movement and technique, as it relates to YOU, may be the difference between achieving great progress or limiting your potential. When I'm hired to design a program for someone, I always assess, in person, the clients movement and starting point as well as walk them through the program, explaining and coaching techniques along the way. Which is why this young man who was having shoulder issues was able to immediately fix it with some form and warm up coaching.

I want to sincerely thank every one of my clients, friends, family and associates who have referred my training services. Your trust and support is greatly appreciated, and honestly YOU have allowed me to do what I love everyday. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I truly enjoy working with people who are "connected" with those I know ... feels like family ;-). With that, due to the high demand, I have opened up a few more training spots going into April. So, if you know someone who might benefit from any of my training services, feel free to forward them my "mini-Bio" as an introduction. I promise everyone a consultation at the very least! Much gratitude and appreciation! Peace - Todd Gilchrist, Owner, Old School Strength
