Team Training

A Plan You Can Follow.

LEAP isn't a class environment. Every Team Strength Session and Team Peak Performance Session is built around structured programming, real coaching, and individual attention — not random workouts designed to make you sweat for forty-five minutes and feel destroyed at the end. You're not following a board on the wall. You're following a clear plan that progresses week to week, with a coach on the floor watching your positioning, scaling movements when needed, and making sure each session moves you forward instead of beating you up. The result is the consistency, accountability, and structure of a coaching environment — with the energy of training alongside other adults who are doing the same work.

No — and that fear is one of the most common things we hear from people before their first session. Every session is scalable. The same Team Strength Session can be loaded heavier for someone who's been lifting for a decade and adjusted appropriately for someone returning to training after years off. There's no "keeping up." There's just your plan, progressing on your timeline. Your job is to show up. The coach's job is to make sure you're training at the right level, with the right loads, and the right movements for where you are right now.

This is one of the most common situations we see at LEAP — and one of the things our model is specifically built to support.You'll start with a LEAP Onboarding Session, where a coach walks through your training history, anything you're working around, and what you want out of training. From there, your sessions are scaled to where you are — not pushed into something your body isn't ready for.If you're working with a physical therapist or a clinician, we coordinate with that work, not against it.

No. Many of our members started with no barbell experience and limited strength training background. Coaching is built into every session, so you'll learn the foundational movements — squat, hinge, press, pull, carry — under a coach watching your positioning and progressions in real time. If you've never trained before, you'll start with the foundations. If you've been training for years, your sessions will be loaded and progressed accordingly. The same training framework scales to both.

Sessions are intentionally capped to keep the coaching close — and the caps are different for each session type, by design. Team Strength Sessions are capped at 8 members. Team Peak Performance Sessions are capped at 10. Strength sessions involve heavier loading, so the coaching has to be tighter — watching positioning under load, cueing technique, and adjusting weights in real time. Peak Performance Sessions focus on movement quality and control work, where a coach can effectively support a slightly larger group. In both cases, the bar is the same: if a coach can't see, cue, and correct each person on the floor, it isn't coaching anymore.

They're two halves of the same training system, designed to work together across your week.Team Peak Performance Sessions focus on movement quality, joint positioning, and how your body handles load. The work here builds the foundation — control, stability, and the ability to maintain good positioning even when you're fatigued.Team Strength Sessions  build on that foundation: loading lifts, logging every set on your phone in the Team Session Log, and progressing strength week to week — with your target for each lift on screen before you start it.Most members train 3–5 sessions per week, mixing both session types so movement quality and strength progress together — instead of choosing one and neglecting the other.

Most members notice a difference in how their body moves and feels within the first few weeks — better positioning, less stiffness in everyday movement, and more confidence under the bar. Measurable strength changes typically show up within the first 6–8 weeks of consistent training and continue to build from there. Because every set is logged, you don't have to rely on memory — new personal bests and beaten benchmarks show up in your progress view the moment they happen.The honest answer is that real strength and durable movement quality are built over months and years, not days. The training is structured so that consistency compounds — every session builds on the last instead of starting over every few weeks.

Schedule flexibility is built into the model. We run multiple session times each day, the LEAP App lets you book and adjust sessions, and the Self-Guided Workout Studio gives you a place to train on your own when your week shifts.Missing a session won't put you behind. The programming is structured so that consistency over months matters more than perfect attendance over any single week.

No. Everyone starts with a LEAP Onboarding Session — a one-on-one with a coach focused on understanding your training history, your goals, and anything you're working around. We also run a quick movement screen so your coach can see how you're moving and scale your sessions accordingly.It isn't a workout. It's a planning session, not a training session — and you leave with a clear training plan built specifically for your body and what you want to accomplish.From there, you start training with us. We don't ask you to choose a membership until you've actually trained at LEAP and experienced how we coach. No long-term contract required to begin.Starting Point purchases are nonrefundable.

Yes — and you're squarely in the demographic LEAP was built to serve. Strength training is one of the most well-established interventions for healthy aging, and our programming scales to whatever stage of strength training you're in. We coach members picking up a barbell for the first time in their fifties, members who've been lifting for decades, and everyone in between. The framework is the same; the loading and progression are individualized to you.

The differences come down to how individualized the programming is and how the coaching is delivered. In Team Training, you follow a structured program built for a small group of members training together. You get coaching every session, scaling and corrections in real time, and the energy of training alongside other adults working toward the same kind of progress. Most members do well in this model long-term — it's structured, consistent, and built to scale to where you are. In Personal Training, the programming is fully built around you — your specific goals, your schedule, your training history, anything you're working around. You get one-on-one attention every session, and progress tends to be faster because every variable is dialed in for you specifically. A simple way to decide: Team Training is the right fit for most adults who want structured strength coaching in a small-group setting. Personal Training is the upgrade for people who want fully customized programming, faster progress, or undivided attention every session. Plenty of members do both — using Team Training as their training base and adding Personal Training when they want to accelerate a specific goal.

Your coach sets the target, and the Team Session Log only offers you loads that actually exist on our floor.Every lift shows the prescribed target for that day before you start. When you log a set, the weights suggested to you are real LEAP weights — dumbbells in five-pound steps plus the 12.5s and 17.5s, our full kettlebell range, and barbell, trap bar, and landmine loading in five-pound jumps. You're never picking a number off a chart that we don't own.You also record how many reps you had left at the end of each set. That's the piece that tells your coach whether today's load was right, too light, or too much, and it's what drives the jump on the same lift next week. If a set was genuinely hard, it should be hard for the right reason — not because the number was a guess.

Every set, on every lift, every session.You log the weight, the reps, and the reps you had left, up to four sets per lift, in the Team Session Log on your phone. Your Team Peak Performance Sessions and The Forge are logged in the same place. That builds into a record you can open any time: your best sets on each lift by week, how many sessions you've trained in the current block, how many weeks in a row you've trained, new personal bests, benchmarks you've beaten, and your history across previous blocks.A personal best is calculated from your estimated strength on a lift, and it only counts against the same lift. That's on purpose — it stops a good day on one exercise from looking like progress on another, and it means when your log tells you you're stronger, you are.Your coach sees the same record, which is what informs how your loads progress from week to week.That record turns into a report card every four months — a written summary of what went up over the block, sent to you as the next block begins.
