At Maverick we believe 4 things

1. A Client working with a coach will progress 3-4x more rapidly than working on their own.
2. An individualized program will be 3-4 as effective as a generic program.
3. Exercise is a necessary component of a strong, healthy and productive life, but  overall there are no shortcuts to restoring optimal human health and function. The the body is only as strong as it’s weakest MINDBODY system (internal health, nutrition, stress management lifestyle habits).
4. Almost all gyms drastically under serve their clients in 1 of 2 major areas:
   • Recognition of the importance of individuality when designing programs.
   • Customer service and ongoing support.

Here are a few more details on some more of my training philosophies incase you were wondering. I will also talk about how it can help you not only achieve your goals fast – but make them stick so you have a HEALTHY, STRONG & LEAN body for a lifetime…

The reason why I use anaerobic  training over conventional cardio (aerobic training) is that it works much better because of how it requires the body to adapt metabolically—your body is forced to burn through fat immediately to sustain the level of intensity being asked of it because of the energy pathway being used.

It ya slso elevates energy use for more than 24 hours post-workout. In other words, your metabolism goes into a “heightened state” of activity which has a profound effect on fat loss.

In fact it has been scientifically proven that the metabolism can stay in it’s heightened state burning calories, and shredding fat for up to 24 hours after you workout, post interval training!

This is why you will never see any of my clients performing steady state cardio on a regular bases.

Don’t all forms of cardio burn fat?

Aerobic training  burns carbohydrates first. It also activates pathways of energy slower in production that are degrading to muscle and will increase the production of cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that can overwhelm tissue, having a catabolic effect that leads to gradual muscle loss and fat gain. By doing constant aerobic training without strength training, you will lose muscle, lower your metabolic, rate, and  are more likely to gain fat. High cortisol causes  chronic inflammation, which can also lead to belly fat gain over time.

High output anaerobic exercise such as weight lifting, sprinting, sled pushing and interval training will burn a far greater percentage of fat, enhance the body’s production of enzymes involved in fat breakdown, and activate pathways that lead to muscle development. This type of exercise also elevates growth hormone a powerful fat burning hormone that helps restore tissue and build muscle.

My strenght training philosophy

I believe that exercise selection is key to any successful workout regime. I focus on the “biggest bang for your buck”,  multi joint exercises first, such as:  squats, deadlifts, lunges, split squats, step-ups, chin-ups, and chest presses . I prioritize these movements first then add other compound and isolation exercises as I see fit to develop weaknesses and hone strengths.
