Get Strong, for life.
This is not a transformation program. It is a lifestyle.
Imagine embarking on a 12-week journey where every day brings you closer to a renewed sense of well-being. Challenging as it may seem, in that time, you could reshape both your body and mind, discovering a stronger, more balanced version of yourself.
Now, picture the process as a complete rejuvenation, where after 12 weeks, you’ve embraced a refreshed, healthier lifestyle that touches both your physical and mental health. How does this picture make you feel?
Feels good right? We think so too.
If you are ready to make this picture a reality, and you are ready for a real change, creating a lasting impact well after the program is done, then this program is for you.
What does it mean to be strong for life?
Building physical and mental strength
Being strong for life means having the resilience both physically and mentally to take on the challenges that life throws at you. In the Strong 4 Life program we aim to teach our clients how to train for muscle growth, functional strength and longevity, while at the same time providing you tools to cultivate habits that lead to a healthy body and a strong mind.
What is the Strong 4 Life program?
Strong 4 Life is a comprehensive 12-week personal training and strength program designed to focus on optimizing your longevity, enhance muscle growth and improve your physique.
We focus on the vital role that muscle plays in living longer and getting stronger for life. Built on a foundation of science-backed training methods tailored to your individual goals and fitness level.
Beyond training, we work with our strong network of partners to provide a holistic approach to achieving the end goal. This includes nutrition, blood markers and mental fortitude.
The Strong 4 Life program is your 1-stop shop to make lasting changes and set you on the path to a strong, sustainable and healthy lifestyle.
Who is this for and what is expected?
This program is for people who are ready to commit to the process of changing their life. With this in mind our Strong 4 Life Athletes should be ready and willing to go through some real and sustainable changes. They will be guided through the entire program by their assigned Strong 4 Life coach, who is available for them every step of the way.
Muscle
In the Strong 4 Life program the goal is to build muscle and strength. The role of muscle mass for longevity and health is very clear in scientific literature. Doctor Gabriel Lyons states, “Most health issues confronting adults are not a result of being “overfat” but being under muscled.” The more muscle you have the easier it is to have better body composition.
Function
The exercise selection in your custom program is designed to improve/restore healthy function of the joints. Being strong for life means being capable to take on the daily tasks that life throws at you. Whatever physical challenges life throws at you, the more muscle and functional strength you have the more prepared you are to face these.
Health
Health improvements come from a combination of training, diet, and supplementation. With support from Valeo Health, we include a comprehensive blood test to identify micronutrient deficiencies. Since nutrition is key to weight management, our athletes receive expert guidance from a nutritional coach to ensure sustainable weight loss. To support this, Strong 4 Life athletes also get an exclusive discount with our meal prep partner, Matter Nutrition.
Mindset
Building a strong mindset will be crucial for making sure the habits developed over the 12-weeks become part of your life and ensuring results from the program are sustained for life. Just by following the program, you will develop the mental fortitude you need for sustainable results. As an additional support, Strong 4 Life athletes get an exclusive discount to join the AW Life Transformation Academy as well as a complimentary introduction call as part of the package.
