If your desire is to increase fat free muscle mass, and gain weight, this is achievable. If that is not your objective, it is completely avoidable while following a consistent weight training protocol. There are multiple factors that go into increasing fat free muscle mass. Nutrition habits, sleep quality and stress management are larger variables. Additionally, the intensity, frequency, and duration of training history will dictate the amount of fat free muscle mass which you accumulate over your training career. Strength training 3x/week will not result in excessively abnormal physical adaptations.

YES! All of our Small Group Personal Training classes have a waitlist function. If a class is full, feel free to join the waitlist. Waitlist members will be automatically added to classes as capacity becomes available up to 12 hours prior to the scheduled class time. In the event openings arise within 12 hours, we will reach out to you to inquire if you would like to be added to said class. You are also welcome to come to the facility, or get in contact with us via phone or email prior to the session to see if last minute openings arise. Ensure that you have all text and email notifications turned on your MindBody profile so that you do not miss any notifications regarding having been added from the waitlist.

The Bone Yard is our bread and butter,and the foundation of what Yard Athletics was built on.

Yard Athletics focuses on fundamental, back to basics, strength & conditioning. Technique and form is of the utmost importance to us. Once an individual has mastered the fundamental human movement patterns and established strong motor competencies, we can then begin to increase intensity, volume, frequency and variation in order to see further progress.

We have worked with Olympians, beginners, senior citizens, youth, rehabilitation clients, pre and post natal, weekend warriors, and everyone in between. Our approach is individualized and systematic.

NO! We have TONS of individuals that attend our 1:1 Personal Training and Small Group Personal Training sessions who did have any experience prior to working with us.
