Written by Ivan Escott

There are three primary paths for training goals inside of Peak Strength:

  • Train for a sport

  • Train for a goal

  • Train for tactical readiness

Training for a Sport

The sport path offers strength training that is tailored to the needs for specific sports and postilions. There are 46 different sport options with 36 positions to select from through this path.

This path emphasizes strength movements relevant to the sport you select. The sport goals path is recommended if you have a specific athletic goal or want to improve performance in a particular sport. This path caters to athletes of all levels including and not limited to middle school, high school, collegiate, post collegiate, club, amateur, professional, and recreational levels.

Training for a Goal

The general goal-oriented path offers strength and fitness training that is tailored to the needs of people that are non-competitive athletes, but are looking for an athletic approach to physical fitness. OR or for competitive athletes looking to improve a more specific quality over the off season.

There are multiple focuses under this path:

  • Age Resilience

  • Athletic Fitness

  • Endurance

  • Explosiveness

  • Hypertrophy

  • Injury Recovery

  • Speed

  • Strength

  • Weight Loss

Within each of these goals, there are even more dedicated paths and selections to help Peak Strength understand exactly what you want to train for.

This path is ideal for individuals seeking overall strength, conditioning, and athleticism. General goal-oriented training offers a balanced approach to fitness without focusing on a particular sport.

Training for Tactical Readiness

The final group of training focuses falls under tactical readiness. This path is created and recommended for service members, emergency services, and first responders. Within this path, there are three additional paths:

  • Military

  • Law Enforcement

  • Fire and Rescue

These training plans prioritize strength and endurance so that the athletes training within them have the ability perform the physical responsibilities required for their duties.

Bottom Line

When selecting your path consider whether you have a specific sport, performance, or other physical goal in mind.

If you’re training to improve in a specific sport and need in-season or off-season training, select one the “train for a sport” option.

If you're training for the love of fitness without a particular sport as your primary focus, select the “train for a goal” option for a well-rounded and enjoyable training experience.

If you’re training to improve your physical ability as a service member or to enter a certain service field, select the “train for tactical readiness” option.
