Apex Blog
Straight answers about training, from the people doing the coaching.
Form guides, equipment walkthroughs and honest answers to the questions members ask us on the floor. Written by the trainers who coach here in Niagara Falls and Youngstown.
None of this replaces having a coach watch you lift. Reading about a squat and being told your knee is caving in are different things. If you want the second one, your first consultation is free.
