About Us

We’re an athletic training facility. Rather than focus on isolated body movements or machines, we focus on functional exercise, athletic conditioning, plyometrics, kettle bell training, Olympic weightlifting, medicine ball and dumbbell training, power-lifting, gymnastics, rowing, running and jumping rope.

Through CrossFit, we look to optimize our student’s fitness at the broadest level — to increase their physical competence in each of 10 recognized fitness domains (Cardio-respiratory endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance, and Accuracy.)

The stimulus provided is always varied and the results are dramatic.

We have students of every age and every fitness level. The program works for anyone because everyone’s needs are the same. The atmosphere is friendly and open and has more of a community feel to it. You can train on your own or take classes — it’s up to you. We just want to see you walking through the door on a regular basis.

…Mission

To help you become fitter, no matter where you’re starting from.

…Philosophy

Fitness. It’s not a workout, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a physical manifestation of your character — of your dedication, responsibility and integrity. It’s a barrier against infirmity and a shield against stress, anxiety and depression. It’s about deciding to live well. It’s about making positive choices and letting those positive choices add up and being able to push through when things get tough – in the gym or outside.

…Our Difference

We don’t put you through the same routine, the same circuit again and again. The workouts are always varied – and that keeps things interesting as well as optimizing your competence in those 10 recognized fitness domains.

Given the broad range of exercises, movements and workouts we use — chances are you’re going to be challenged to do things you’ve never done before. Learning new things and challenging yourself keeps things interesting. It gives you goals.

Given your time and effort, you just might be doing things you previously thought impossible.

Another big difference between us and your standard gym is our..

…Exercise Selection

In a nutshell, the exercises are:

Ground Based: Exercising in a standing positions
Most of the things that we do that require strength, balance and coordination occur while standing up. Most of the exercises prescribed at Fourth Power Fitness are executed in a standing position. This pretty much reflects real world tasks.

Complex: Exercising the entire body at the same time
Maximize the efficiency of the time spent committed to exercising. Multi-joint exercises that require the “core” to stabilize dynamic motions of the upper and lower body will produce the best results and in a shorter period of time.

Explosive: Exercising by producing forces through acceleration and deceleration
Training the body to be prepared for sudden movements will improve performance and decrease injury.

Functional: Exercising using movements that will enhance daily tasks
Improve the quality of daily living by improving motor skills through dynamic motion. Training like an athlete gives you the benefits of training like an athlete. You’ll be able to do more of the things that bring you joy in life.

Training Environment

Form follows function. Our space looks different because we train differently here — like athletes vs like bodybuilders. The focus is on movements and not machines. This means more space. It also means constant variety in our workouts. You won’t get bored! [Read More...]
