The PHASE IV Cycling drills are anchored in science and have been honed over thirty-five years working with cyclists.

When incorporated into your training and recovery program, you will improve your mechanics and decrease inefficiency.

PHASE IV has designed the most effective drills to immediately improve your performance and resistance to injury. Are you ready to get started?

The PHASE IV Running Package draws on Forster’s expertise that spans 9 Olympic Games. 🏆

Helping athletes achieve injury-free peak performance and aerobic conditioning is PHASE IV’s mission. The PHASE IV Running Package is the most complete science based training program available anywhere. This program uses scientific analysis to unlock the intricacies of personal physiology, and replaces the guesswork that characterizes most generic coaching programs.

We will first analyze the aspects of healthy running:
- current fitness levels
- strengths and weaknesses
- flexibility
- functional joint stability
- alignment
- running mechanics
- nutrition
- recovery strategies.

From this data, our exercise physiologists and physical therapists will construct and guide you through a comprehensive running program tailored to optimize your genetic potential.

We’re going to miss you ! Thank you for being an instrumental part of the PHASE IV family this last year. We’re so grateful to have had you on the team!

We can’t wait to see what amazing things this next chapter of your career has in store as you become head coach for . 🏒

If you're a wrestler working to cut weight, our team of specialists is here to ensure your success.

To insure your final weight cut leads to a win at the scale, your PHASE IV Exercise Physiologist will manage a four week weight cut including your final competition week procedures to establish a safe and effective weight cut, weigh in, and recovery nutrition.

“This new paradigm for healthy weight management also helps develop a healthy and robust metabolism," says Robert Forster. “When athletes are trained in accordance with science and have a healthy diet, their metabolism will burn off excess body fat. As a result, they will not only arrive at their best competition weight naturally, but they will perform better too.”

By contrast, he notes that overtraining, coupled with calorie-restricted diets, can create a suppressed metabolism, and put undue stress on the body.

Are you interested in learning more about PHASE IV Peakright Comprehensive Periodized Power and Speed Training?

The purpose of the entire Periodization Training Program is to bring your power, speed, and conditioning to a peak for a given event or competition. Cycles of hard work and active recovery are orchestrated to build fitness throughout the training period. When we reduce the workload, your fitness, power, and speed will skyrocket.

This is the essence of periodization training, and it is the most neglected concept of exercise and fitness. In many sports speed is a critical requisite for success. Faster movement and times are achieved with mechanical efficiency to conserve energy, and by building power and speed.

At PHASE IV your Power and Speed Training Performance Specialists will periodize your training into phases. This will build the proper foundation for a fitness pyramid that includes injury prevention, joint stability, core strength, endurance, and speed.

Are "natural flavors" really natural?

Food manufacturers add flavorings to a surprising number of basic products, and it can feel nearly impossible to avoid added flavor in any pre-packaged grocery store purchase. These additives are not only found in highly processed foods like candy, granola bars, and frozen dinners but also floods like flavored yogurts, canned soups, spaghetti sauces, and ice creams.

Government regulations define natural flavors as those that derive their aroma or flavor chemicals from plant or animal sources, including fruit, meat, fish, spices, herbs, roots, leaves, buds or bark that are distilled, fermented, or otherwise manipulated in a lab. This distinguishes them from artificial flavors, which use man-made chemicals to give a product its particular flavor or aroma.

The loophole, as it were, is that for nonorganic foods, the regulations do not restrict the dozens of other ingredients like preservatives and solvents that can go into a so-called natural flavor. And while flavors labeled “organic flavors” or “organic natural flavors” are even more strictly regulated, consisting almost entirely of organic ingredients; the latter may contain a small amount of natural flavor as well.

Some food safety advocates recommend people with food allergies or dietary restrictions avoid food flavorings because the ingredients are not disclosed, but that is a difficult task.

Visit our blog to learn the truth about these additives today at: https://phase-iv.com/are-natural-flavors-really-natural/

The critical importance of recovery to your fitness cannot be overstated.

It is difficult for some competitive athletes to grasp that all exercise, even the most intense speed and strength work, is futile if the time for recovery is not observed. You may feel like you’re training hard, but unless you are actively recovering, you are not improving.

It is during recovery that your fitness evolves. In fact, you may be over-training and fatiguing your body to the point where your fitness is stalled or regressing.

We will support and counsel you through your recovery periods, just as we’ve done for Olympians and dozens of professional athletes. Recovery is accomplished though many techniques and therapies at PHASE IV, including: Advanced Therapeutic Massage, Assisted Stretching, Rehabilitation, Icing, and Nutritional Counseling.

Start your recovery with us today at https://phase-iv.com/health-and-fitness/structural-examination/!

To increase your metabolism and strength while getting lean and toned, you need to weight train! Lean muscle burns more calories. If you want to decrease body fat, perform better, train for an event or just look & feel great, joining the women's weight class is perfect for you.

World Racing Champion, Rebecca Ruysch, credits Forster for “teaching her body how to ride her bike.” How did we at PHASE IV do that? Through. periodization strenth training.

Periodization strength training breaks the training program into cycles (or periods) where fitness is developed in a scientifically rational sequence.

After about six-to-eight weeks of the same activity the body becomes stronger and can handle the load without experiencing stress; performance will then fade if the exercise stimulus is not altered in such a way as to create new stress on the body, and peak hormone production again.

That's why your PHASE IV team is using state-of-the-science training methods to set up your plan of Periodized Strength Training. Matching the requirements of your sport, you will be educated in proper strength development, stretching, warm-up, cool-down, and aggressive recovery techniques.
