ABOUT METABOLIC TRAINING
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 BENEFITS 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?
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 METABOLIC MAKE ME 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.
If you are a woman that is concerned that you will get “too big” doing Metabolic Training, you simply do not possess the testosterone levels to develop massive amounts of lean muscle tissue, so this should not be a concern. Instead, you will develop a healthy amount of lean muscle to support a strong metabolism, and an active lifestyle!
