We know the program works. The results speak for themselves. 📈
In our most recent testing:
🏋️ 88% set a new Front Squat Personal Record
💪 86% set a new Overhead Press Personal Record
Now we want to see what happens when we take the same programming we use every day at Urban Athletic Club and put it in the hands of people training outside our walls.
So we’re opening up program-only access.
You’ll get the same structured strength and conditioning program our members follow at UAC — but you can train at your gym, on your schedule.
This isn’t random workouts.
We train in cycles.
We build strength.
We condition.
We test.
We measure.
Then we do it again.
Our next training cycle starts September 7.
And because we’re testing the remote experience, the first 50 people get access completely FREE.
All we ask is that you train with us and provide feedback so we can continue improving the program.
Want in?
DM us “PROGRAM” and we’ll get you access.
