“How do we explain what you do when we’re trying to refer a friend?”
This is a conversation that often comes up in our classes. We are always striving to better describe our form of training. Here’s the simple version.
C.hill Movement is an instructor-led fitness program focused on durability, strength, resilience, and most of all longevity.
We look at the whole picture, building what’s called General Physical Preparedness (GPP). That means making you stronger, more flexible, and more stable. We want your reflexes fast, your coordination smooth and confident, and your balance on point. We probably have a lower emphasis on cardio than other gyms. But don’t let that fool you — this stuff is challenging! If you hold a handstand for a minute straight, you can be sure your heart and lungs are working hard. Intent before intensity.
Central to our training is addressing your individual injuries, compensations, and imbalances. We want to fix the issues that exist and prevent future ones.
Equipment we use includes:
- Kettlebells
- Pull up bars
- Clubs
- Maces
- Gymnastic rings
But most often of all: the floor! Your own bodyweight will be your primary tool here. Think crawling, push ups, bridges, lunges, and all manner of mobility-improving work.
Much of what we do revolves around play and exploration, while deliberately building new skills. We want to make you better by challenging you to try movements and methods that are difficult for you. Everything we do has a specific purpose. (As opposed to workouts designed merely to tire you out!)
