Change what does not suit your gym

The programming is a starting point, not a rulebook. This is the part I most want you to hear: If a movement does not suit your space or your members, change it.

Why that is allowed

We are a GPP program. Some cycles carry specific goals, and those goals are not important to every member in your gym. If somebody needs a goblet squat instead of a front squat, that is the movement they should be doing.

Your coaching team knows that room better than I do. They know who is coming back from a shoulder injury, who has a competition in six weeks, and who has never held a barbell. I cannot write for that from here.

We build for real gyms

GHD sit-ups are a good example. We leave them out on purpose, because the impact is high and most gyms own one or two of them. We want to offer a program that is inclusive and builds members up for longevity.

The same thinking runs through the equipment choices across all seven programs.

Do not overthink it

I often find people are fearful that if they change something, they will completely change the goal of the workout. Your coaching team knows best in those circumstances.
