Athletic Fitness is a Training Focus within the Train for a goal path. It covers non-competitive fitness goals, from building muscle and increasing strength to improving overall athletic performance, all through an athletic training approach.
During onboarding, after selecting "Train for a goal," you'll be asked to choose your Athletic Fitness Training Focus. Here's what each one covers:
Athletic Muscle
Builds upper and lower body hypertrophy through high volume and a variety of exercises designed to be both effective and engaging, while keeping athleticism and overall fitness in the mix.
Athletic Strength
Focuses on full-body strength development through the bench press, squat, and deadlift. More than a powerlifting program, it layers in athletic, explosive, and cardio training alongside the core lifts.
Full Body Training
Built for athletes training 1 to 2 times a week or those who prefer a full-body split. Each session hits both upper and lower body while still prioritizing one side each day and including a variety of movements.
Functional Strength
Centers on improving overall movement and functionality through Olympic weightlifting movements (snatch, clean, jerk). Combines Olympic lifting with plyometric, hypertrophy, and cardio work to build coordination, power, and long-term athletic health.
Hybrid Fitness
Combines advanced weightlifting movements, strength, MetCons, and cardio to build well-rounded fitness for any competition. Aligns most closely with CrossFit or HYROX-style training.
Time Crunch
Most Training Focuses have workouts around 60 minutes. If you only have 30 minutes to train, Time Crunch prioritizes your key lifts to give you the most effective half-hour session possible.
Total Athletic Fitness
Peak Strength's most popular Training Focus. Total Athletic Fitness brings together all aspects of athlete training into a single program, making it the best starting point if you want to build a well-rounded athletic physique and performance.
