MISSION: HOW WE PUT FITNESS IN ACTION!

The mission of Action Fitness is to give you the proper exercise tools for your species!

PHILOSOPHY: GPP (GENERAL PHYSICAL PREPAREDNESS)

The Action Fitness/Wildfitness philosophy is basically the following: proper mechanics combined with high intensity equals improved fitness.

The “traditional” workouts you see in corporate health clubs nationwide are one-sided, bodybuilding based only. (Although in terms of years of existence, it’s hardly a “tradition”, since the modern gym rat has been doing such workouts since the early 70’s only.) Hardly functional, the body building approach lies in reducing tempo, decreasing leverage and isolating muscle groups. It only really allows you to look good and do better at your next gym session. There is no carryover to your athletic performance in other activities/sports. We’ll turn you into a better-conditioned athlete. Play your individual sport to get better at it, and forget SPP (Specific Physical Preparedness) unless you are a professional athlete.

APPROACH: TECHNIQUE, DRILLS, PRACTICE, WORKOUT

Ever seen the old Fritz Lang movie “Metropolis”, or other flicks like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”? Humans become drones. While we, as a species, have a function to perform on this planet (reproduction, for survival of the species), as individuals, our personal needs differ.

The Action Fitness method of training is to educate you as you train, so you can understand why you do a certain exercise. Standing on one leg doing a single leg squat is suddenly elevated to paying attention to the feedback your support foot is giving you, with millions of cells sending messages to your brain, muscles, bones. Boxing is not just about punching like a beast against a bag, but learning how to move without injury, exerting less effort yet producing more power through proper mechanics. Every session is like a seminar.

BIOMECHANICS AND CHEMISTRY: VOLUME, INTENSITY, LOAD

Intensity being the key to your routine, it is important to challenge your muscles with movements that are neurologically demanding. From proper running form, to proper leverage so as to increase your load and perform with heavier weights (with correct movement and lines of support/action) with various degrees of intensity (e.g. short bursts vs. extended periods, i.e. intervals), you can achieve great levels of fitness you simply cannot get from your basic boring gym routines! Following the SAID principle (Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands), waving intensity and loads (to avoid overtraining and promote proper recovery) and applying varied specificity to each practiced skill, you’ll forge both a strong, flexible, resilient and sculpted body with a mind to match any challenge, mental or physical.

THE MOVES: NEURAL DEMAND, COORDINATION, FLEXIBILITY, POWER, ROOTING, RESILIENCE AND PERFORMANCE

All skills taught will have a direct carryover to your “real life.” Be it martial arts, kettlebell drills, freeweights and more, you’ll target every body part any way it can be developed.

Freedom of space, expression of movement, and adrenaline pumping workouts with a friendly vibe!
