What is the unique training model that Condition Gym uses in their group fitness classes?
Condition splits the room five days a week into two simultaneous classes: Lift (strength training) and Engine (conditioning sessions). Members book whichever session suits their goals. Saturday features community-based team sessions, and Sunday offers Base, a hybrid session combining both. The programming uses progressive overload training, decreasing reps over eight-week phases while increasing weight, with eight-week testing cycles allowing members to test their three rep maxes on compound lifts and conditioning benchmarks.

Quote to remember
“Everything has a purpose and there's a reason why we're doing something. We're not just saying go in there and do this kettlebell swing, do this squat—there's actually a reason we're getting you to do everything.”
