Our flagship strength program — designed to help you move better, get stronger, and build muscle with a clear plan.

BUILT: Strength Starts Here

BUILT is our dedicated strength and muscle-building track — perfect for anyone looking to get stronger, gain size, lose fat, and train with structure. Each session is intentionally programmed to focus on foundational lifts, upper-body development, and core accessory work. Whether you're new to lifting or ready to level up, BUILT helps you master the basics, push big lifts, build muscle, and burn fat — all with a clear, sustainable plan.

Foundation

Strength That Lasts

FOUNDATION is pure, focused lower-body strength training. Each session targets squats, hinges, and their key accessories with deliberate tempo and control. No fluff—just progressive, intelligent programming that improves movement quality, joint integrity, and posterior chain power. FOUNDATION is the cornerstone for anyone serious about getting strong and staying strong.

Engine

Built for Performance

ENGINE is your go-to for smart, sustainable conditioning. Expect machines, med balls, bodyweight, and kettlebells integrated into EMOMs, AMRAPs, and intervals. With intentional pacing and repeatable intensity, ENGINE develops both aerobic and anaerobic systems—building real-world work capacity without burnout. You’ll sweat with purpose and leave with a more powerful engine.

Fusion

Upper Body Strength Meets Conditioning

FUSION delivers structured upper-body strength training, paired with short, sharp finishers that elevate your heart rate. You’ll press, pull, and superset your way to better muscle balance, stamina, and upper-body definition. Whether you’re chasing a stronger bench, bolder shoulders, or just want to feel the pump, FUSION gives you both the grit and the burn.

Sculpt

Aesthetic Conditioning with Purpose

SCULPT is where strength meets style. This full-body session sculpts glutes, arms, shoulders, and core through high-rep isolation work and accessible conditioning. Delivered in a split-circuit format, SCULPT brings the burn without draining your system. It’s your time to chase the pump, build muscular endurance, and walk away stronger, more defined, and energized.

BUILT Program FAQs: Strength Training for Real Results

  • BUILT is a structured strength and muscle-building program that focuses on foundational lifts like squats, presses, and deadlifts — with no Olympic lifting (like snatches or cleans). It’s about controlled progress, proper form, and sustainable gains.

    CrossFit, on the other hand, mixes strength with high-intensity conditioning, Olympic lifts, gymnastics, and constantly varied workouts. BUILT offers a more focused path to getting stronger without the complexity or intensity of competitive-style training

  • Bootcamp-style workouts like Burn Bootcamp, Orangetheory Fitness, and similar group fitness classes are designed to burn calories fast through high-intensity cardio and circuit training. They're great for sweating and short-term fat burning.

    BUILT, on the other hand, is a progressive strength training program focused on building lean muscle, improving movement, and boosting long-term results. Muscle helps your body burn more calories at rest — making it one of the most effective tools for sustainable fat loss and body composition changes.

    If you're looking for a program that builds strength, supports fat loss, and follows a clear weekly structure — BUILT is the perfect alternative to bootcamps.

  • No — BUILT is not a HIIT program. While some days may include light conditioning or interval-style finishers, the primary focus of BUILT is progressive strength training and muscle building.

    HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workouts — often found in bootcamps or studios like F45 or Orangetheory — are designed to elevate heart rate quickly through bursts of intense cardio. BUILT takes a more intentional approach, emphasizing proper form, controlled lifts, and structured progression to help you build strength, improve muscle tone, and train for long-term results.

    If you're looking for a plan to get strong without constant high-impact cardio, BUILT is a smarter, more sustainable choice.

  • BUILT isn’t traditional bodybuilding — and that’s by design.
    Classic bodybuilding routines often focus on training one or two muscle groups per day (like “chest day” or “arm day”) with very high volume and long gym sessions. These programs are effective for physique competitors, but they don’t always translate to better movement, strength, or long-term sustainability — especially for busy adults or beginners.

    BUILT combines the best of bodybuilding and functional strength training.
    We focus on compound lifts, upper/lower splits, accessory work, and core — all in a balanced weekly structure. You’ll still build lean muscle and get stronger, but with smarter programming, less joint stress, and more real-world carryover. It’s muscle that moves — not just muscle that flexes.

  • Yes — BUILT is for everyone.
    Whether you’re brand new to strength training or returning to the gym after time away, BUILT is designed to meet you where you are. Our coaches guide you through every movement, offering form cues, modifications, and progression options so you can build strength safely and confidently.

    You don’t need to be “fit enough” to start — you get fit by starting.
    We’ll help you build a strong foundation, learn proper technique, and see real results over time.

  • Most people train 3–6 days per week. BUILT is designed to be flexible — you can jump in as often as your schedule allows and still see progress.

  • Just gym clothes, a water bottle, and a positive attitude. We provide the equipment — you show up and do the work.
