The Upper Body Strength program emphasizes compound movements and functional exercises to target various muscles in the upper body. Here are key points and recommendations for participants: The program provides a framework for upper body strength training with an emphasis on safety, proper form, and individualization. It encourages participants to be mindful of their bodies, make necessary adjustments, and prioritize form for a well-rounded and effective strength training experience.

Compound Movements and Functional Exercises: The program focuses on exercises that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, promoting efficiency and functional strength.

Proper Form: Emphasis is placed on performing each exercise with proper form. This ensures effectiveness, reduces the risk of injury, and maximizes the benefits of each movement.

Appropriate Footwear: Participants are advised to wear appropriate athletic shoes. Proper footwear provides stability and support during compound movements, especially those that involve the upper body.

Adjustable Weight: It is recommended to adjust the weight based on individual fitness levels. This allows participants to tailor the program to their strength and progression.

Form Over Heavy Weights: Prioritizing proper form over lifting heavy weights is highlighted. This approach helps in preventing injuries and ensures that each repetition is performed effectively.

Participant Responsibilities: Participants are encouraged to listen to their bodies. If an exercise causes discomfort or pain beyond normal muscle fatigue, modifications or adjustments may be necessary.

Modify as Needed: The program acknowledges that individuals have different needs and recovery capacities. Participants are advised to modify the program based on their individual requirements.

General Advice: Incorporating a proper warm-up before starting the program and a cool-down after the session is recommended to prepare the body and aid in recovery.

Consistency: Consistency in following the program is key for seeing results over time. Regular participation contributes to improved strength and overall fitness.

Progression: As participants become more comfortable with the program, there may be opportunities to gradually increase weights or intensity for continued progress.

Cancellation Policy: A 12-hour cancellation policy is in place to ensure fairness for all participants. Late cancellations within 12 hours of the class will result in a loss of a class pass and a $20 fee.
