The initial assessment paves the way to a training program that meets your needs. Based on your assessment as well as your goals we utilize the appropriate training methods that are aligned with your needs. We’ll meet you at your starting point and work with you on a program built just for you.

Continuous Progress

At Urban Strength Institute we customize a training program so that you continue to see improvement from month to month. Once you’ve adapted to a program we know what you need to do next. At USI we believe in a plan.

We’ve been asked many times “how do we know if I’m improving?” Very clearly.

We collect data. Whether thats checking your body fat monthly, looking up the total volume or tonnage that you’ve lifted within a given workout or a given week, or seeing what the average weight you’ve lifted was. We can even look at your power output measured in watts or the speed in which you performed an exercise measured in velocity. Most trainers will simply change your workouts as they see fit without really knowing the results their getting with you because they do not collect useful data. We prove your results with science.

Unless you are a genetic lottery ticket winner, there is no training program that will deliver the results you seek if nutrition is overlooked. At USI we strongly support your nutritional needs by providing detailed guidance regarding what you need to change to get the results you came here for.

Your personal trainer should really be your coach

We like to start by giving you food logs that see what your current habits are. From there we can start to make changes that have a low failure rate because they’re easy to apply. We establish a plan so you know what you should eat or not eat and give you guidance on any lifestyle changes that are necessary in order to accomplish your goals. Most importantly we help you keep those results you’re looking for.

I got into weight lifting in high school to get stronger and gain weight for wrestling. After high school, I enlisted in Marine Corps and my passion for exercise really started to grow. As soon as I got out of the Marines in 1998 I got a job at a gym I was working out at to pursue personal training. Since 1998 I’ve had up to four personal training certificates and I can say that some weren’t worth the paper they were printed on. What I discovered was in order to become a great coach you need to learn from the best and not just pass a test and then spend a lot of time applying what you’ve learned. Over my 17 years in this industry, I’ve spent thousands of dollars on seminars, books, internships, and consultations with some of the best in the industry in order to become the best I could in the field that I love. I also became certified from two of the top strength coaches in the industry.
