Common Questions from Our Community

What is Metabolic Training?

Metabolic Training is a form of strength training that prioritizes low rest periods between sets and full body workouts in order to simultaneously build muscle, develop strength, enhance mobility, and improve cardiovascular conditioning. Because it is so efficient & effective, it is an extremely popular training program that has a high degree of flexibility to cater to a wide variety of age groups, experience levels, and fitness goals.

What are the benfits to Metabolic Training?

Due to the union of “Time Under Tension” with targeted rep counts, Metabolic Training delivers incredible results when it comes to developing strength and building muscle. When combined with doing all of this in less time than most people are used to, it is no surprise that once most people start implementing Metabolic Training as their primary fitness program, it becomes a transcendent moment in their fitness journey that truly changes the way they view fitness.

What sets Metabolic apart from other gyms?

Our founder, Matt Phelps, is one the forefathers of Metabolic Training, and developed the philosophy through years of trying to master the challenging task of implementing effective strength training in a group setting. The structure, organization, and programming are second to none, and help form the foundation of an even stronger community of like minded individuals.

Will I get too muscular or bulky?

Building lean muscle tissue is predominantly a process determined by genetic predisposition; Metabolic Training will develop as much lean muscle as you are genetically predisposed to building through the strategic emphasis of both “higher rep” and “lower rep” programming.

Will Metabolic make me lose strength and size?

Provided that loading and training are accounted for, you will not lose any size doing Metabolic Training; in fact, you will likely notice new hypertrophy in your delts, glutes, and upper back! If you are lacking in cardiovascular conditioning at the start of your Metabolic journey, we recommend you prioritize the “indicator lift” of each day, and back off the intensity of the other movements.
