Have you ever looked into The PIT and wondered what it is and if it is for you? You aren’t alone. Some Four Seasons members assume it’s only for experienced lifters or it’s a powerlifting program or similar to a CrossFit gym.
Here’s what The PIT really is:
Myth: The PIT is CrossFit.
Truth: The PIT is a strength and conditioning program.
Strength is built through progressive overload. We gradually increase the weight over time to help you become stronger safely and consistently. Conditioning is improved through metabolic conditioning. We use purposeful workouts that build cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
Myth: The PIT is only for powerlifters.
Truth: While strength is a major focus, The PIT isn’t a powerlifting program.
You don’t have to compete, lift maximal weight, or have years of experience to train in The PIT. Our members have a wide variety of goals. Some want to build strength and muscle, some want to change body composition, and some want to function better in everyday life.
Myth: The PIT is a group fitness class.
Truth: The PIT is a coach guided training program.
Unlike group fitness classes where everyone performs the same movement at the same time, members work through the program at their own pace. Throughout the workout, coaches are there to provide instruction, answer questions, help with technique, spot lifts when needed, and make modifications based on individual abilities. Every member receives the coaching they need while progressing at their own pace.
Myth: You need to be an experienced weightlifter to join.
Truth: The PIT is designed for all experience levels.
On any given day you will see women and men of all ages strength levels. Some members are using a barbell for the first time and others have years of lifting experience. Workouts can be adapted to meet each member’s current abilities. The PIT is an environment where beginners and experienced lifters can train side by side and make progress.
The Best Part: The Community
The PIT is welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. Members celebrate each other’s progress. Everyone is working toward becoming stronger and healthier. The PIT is designed to help you succeed no matter where you are starting.
