4 Archetypes of Training Goals (and Specific Routines for Each One)
Show Notes

We've all got our own interests and priorities in life, so one of the really important questions our clients tend to ask us is how to adapt their training for their specific needs. 

Of course, with infinite variations, there's some black magic involved - it's more art than science at times - but there's a few general principles, and over time we've found that most of our clients fall into a handful of broad classes with regard to the kinds of goals they have in their training.

Four archetypes of training goals:

  • Overall health and wanting to feel better
  • Exploring different activities and needing some exercise to complement those
  • Working on mastering specific skills or abilities
  • Exercise to supplement and support performance in a single sport or activity 


Ryan has example programming for each of those, and we'll tell you how to organize a routine around what really matters to you.

Best quote of this episode of the GMB Show: "Don't build a lifestyle around how you look in lycra."
