Iron Forged AthletX Strategy Session

Posted on May 15th, 2023.

Iron Forged AthletX wants to see you succeed! Before you begin any training session at Iron Forged AthletX, you will be presented with the opportunity to have a personal meeting one-on-one with a coach. This meeting is what is called a strategy session, and it is a very important part of your overall training regimen. 

The strategy session will last just one hour, but will review your goals and review any injuries that you may have sustained in the past, as well as have a conversation with you about your overall health and wellness before you begin your training.

This information will help your coach assess your ability to perform certain tasks while you are still in training. This is done to avoid putting you in situations where you could further irritate an existing injury. 

Matters That Will Be Discussed

During your strategy session, a number of matters will be discussed with your coach.A few of these factors include the following: 

• A Review of Your Current Lifestyle - Your coach will need to go over with you some facts about your current lifestyle and how it may relate to your ability to do certain training exercises well at the gym. This may include a review of how sedentary you are at the moment, as well as the type of job that you work and the level of activity that you regularly engage in on a typical day. 
• Functional Movement Screen Test - The functional movement screen test is one of the most important aspects of the strategy session.The reason is that your coach can evaluate with real statistics exactly how much movement and flexibility your body can handle at this time. The goal is to improve both of those statistics, but they need to start at a baseline in order to determine where you stand today.
• Body Composition Analysis - The Inbody Machine is something that we can use to help come up with a body composition analysis for any of our customers. This will determine important statistics such as the percentage of your body that is body fat, your muscle index and more. Once again, having these factors known before you begin your training sessions is extremely valuable both to you and your coach. It will help you measure your success overtime as you continue to participate in these sessions.

You can sign up via our website at any time to set up a free consultation to get more information and get started with your strategy session and review of your fitness goals.
