Understand Strength and How It Affects Your Body
Control is the new power. When you understand your body, movement stops feeling risky. You'll learn to create stability where it's missing and build the kind of strength that doesn't disappear the moment you stop training.
What Is Foundations of Strength?
You've felt it, something in your body doesn't quite line up. Muscles don't always respond, joints feel loose and workouts never seem to stick. Foundations of Strength helps you rebuild control from the inside out so your body moves the way it was meant to, stable, powerful and pain free.
You've tried to work out the 'normal' way, but it never quite fits. Muscles fatigue in strange places, or pain flares up before progress sets in. This course gives you the tools to understand what is happening under the surface and train your body the way it was designed to move.
You've built a life of success through focus and vision, now build the strength to carry it forward.
Foundations of Strength is built on the Unlock Framework, a six-principle system that reconnects awareness, activation, breath, alignment, strength and resilience. It's the method behind everything we teach, guiding you from uncertainty to confident control.n
