🚨New Program Release: LOCKED IN POST COMPOUND MOVEMENTS – 6 Week Practice

Built as a continuation from our Compound Movement Program, ‘Locked In’ is designed to help you deepen and embody the integrated movement patterns introduced in Compound Movements.

This next step is about refining patterns through consistent practice.

You’ll train 4 days per week, revisiting and strengthening compound movements while continuing to build fluidity, coordination, and control.

Rather than constantly introducing new exercises, this program emphasizes practice and integration.

With repetition, your nervous system becomes more efficient at organizing movement. Over time, these patterns begin to feel less like exercises and more like natural expressions of strength and control.

This program is ideal if you’ve completed Compound Movements and are ready to build confidence in more integrated, rotational patterns.

4 training days per week with 3 recovery days built in designed to support a sustainable, long-term practice.

Available now in the app.

Dr. Evan of felt major relief after just two Foundation Training workouts because his body learned how to distribute load differently.

Disc-related pain is often driven by pressure, poor load sharing, and lack of accurate muscular support around the spine.

When you restore proper mechanics, you reduce unnecessary stress on irritated tissues.

Less pressure. Less irritation. Less pain.

In his case, the shift happened fast.
And once the pain was gone, he wasn’t just back to normal, he was moving better than before.

If you’re new here and living with back pain, tight hips, or a body that just feel it’s best, this pose can bring you serious relief.

This position is called The Founder and it’s the basis for a lot of our movements. It teaches something most of us were never shown: how to use the posterior chain to support the spine.

Instead of collapsing into the low back, we learn how to lengthen the torso, hinge from the hips, and distribute the work through the large muscles that are meant to carry it, powerfully demonstrated here by .bolden at the beautiful facility in Santa Barbara.

Over time, that changes how your body organizes itself under gravity.

Less compression.
More support.
Less pain.

It’s simple. It’s challenging. And with repetition, it can be extremely transformative.

If you’re curious what it feels like, you can explore the full tutorial and so much more on the app.

easy thing to help yourself along the way.

Our theory is that the weight of the head is an opportunity to get stronger, not weaker.

Your neck is meant to act as a way-finder supporting your senses, not a series of kinked links in your chain.

It’s so easy to support your brain.

We talked a little bit about cueing yesterday and how a small shift in language can help you feel the movement accurately instead of guessing your way through.

Our Core Educator Josh Brigham ( ) has a gift for this: his cues are visual, memorable, and playfully precise. It’s one of the things that makes his teaching so effective.

These clips are taken from our 65+ Program, which modifies our work to support bodies of all ages. The collection has 22 videos focused on pain relief, balance, posture and mobility.

You can also use the search feature on the app to filter workouts by instructor, so if you find someone whose teaching style really resonates with you, you can easily find all of their videos to explore.

We have roughly 1500 Certified Instructors worldwide, and you can search with our ‘Find A Trainer’ feature to find one in your area or that teaches virtually!

Cueing matters.

The difference can completely change what your body does in a movement. One cue can create tension in the right places and make everything click and without that little note, you might send the effort somewhere totally different.

In Foundation Training, the words aren’t random. They’re chosen to help your body find the structure it needs to move well and target muscles accurately.

Sometimes the smallest cue makes the biggest difference.
