F&F is a 12-week, 3-phase program that melds sustainable strength training, physique development, and athletic movement.

Designed by a physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach, and former physique competitor, this program takes into account injury prevention, athletic performance, and training for aesthetics. Blending the three not only leads to a physique one can be proud of, but a sustainable, healthy one that feels GREAT!

This program (and 2.0 and 3.0!) are for those wanting to mix up their training, move “outside the box,” and develop a further appreciation and understanding of their home — their body!
