Our beloved Gym Jones Foundation programming, in 45 minutes or less. Need we say more? This 8-week, 5-day-per-week program will be a welcome break from progressive programming, a fun solution to burnout or boredom, just enough structure to come back from a break, or a great place to start your fitness journey.

Get back to baseline
Foundation is meant to bring you back from either end of the fitness spectrum, get you to baseline and ready to get back to business. Whether you've taken a break from training or are coming off of a grueling phase, a Foundation program is a great way to bring balance back to your training.

45 Minute Workouts
If time is the biggest thing standing between you and your fitness goals, look no further for a solution. This program is planned down to the minute to get you in and out of the gym in 45 minutes or less, without missing any of the effectiveness of a longer workout. Let us help you maximize your time and your results!

Combat burnout (without taking a break)
Hard work in the gym takes a toll, both physically and mentally. A Foundation phase gives you a much needed break from chasing numbers and target paces, and places more emphasis on how you're feeling. If you're tired, sore, and just plain sick of training, this program is a great way to get you feeling good in the gym again.

Fall in love with training again
If you've lost sight of the reason you started training in the first place (i.e. the fun part), Foundation is a way to find that again. It's "a little bit of everything" to help you remember all the things you love about the gym.
