Strength Training

Athlete Support

Strength training at Exercise Institute is a high quality, low quantity program developed alongside experts in strength and conditioning.

Built for endurance athletes and active people, the program uses supervised gym work, functional movement patterns and objective assessment to improve strength, movement quality, efficiency and long-term athlete development.

Why this matters.

Strength

Build usable force.

Gym training exposes functional movement patterns to force magnitudes greater than those usually experienced during your chosen endurance activity.

Movement

Improve efficiency.

Supervised sessions help manage asymmetries, improve movement quality, reduce soreness and build stronger foundations for better athletic output.

Development

Train with purpose.

The program connects strength, mobility, power and sport-specific needs so gym work supports your wider performance plan, not just isolated lifting.

FAQ’s.

Sessions

What is included in the sessions?

The program begins with testing and progresses into sport-specific functional strength work.

Week 1: Baseline Functional Force Assessment, measuring the force magnitude and force rate of your unique anaerobic power signature, plus a Functional Movement Assessment.

Week 2: Introduction to functional movement patterns specific to your sport and previous exercise history.

Weeks 3–5: Movement patterns are adapted to your own rate of development and designed to optimally exploit your kinetic chain.

Week 6: Re-test the Functional Force Assessment to outline improvement over the course of the program, usually 5% to 10%.

Outcomes

What improvements will I see?

Strength training can improve power, movement economy and resilience.

Expected improvements may include increased anaerobic power and metabolism, improved movement economy, increased output at threshold and VO2 max, decreased injury risk, and increased bone density, tendon strength and ligament strength.

Preparation

What do I need to bring?

Bring the equipment needed for bike-based testing and gym-based training.

Participants need to bring their own bike or reserve one of Exercise Institute’s bikes for fatigue and power testing. Please also bring gym clothing, a heart rate monitor and cycling shoes to each session.
