As the head coach, I am tasked with ensuring that every single session from every single coach is as good as a session I would teach.  The XT60 system is the answer.  We have built the XT60 as a team for over two years with thousands of coaching hours behind us.   The XT60 system contains over 600 individual workouts spread across 40 different programs. In your first two sessions we analyze how you move, the extent of your existing injuries, and your strengths and weaknesses to determine a fitness profile.  Based on your profile, we place you into one of our 40 programs.  The program you begin at Sand & Steel has been tested to be effective by hundreds of clients before you.  Whether that’s our Level 1 program, Muscle Building Super Mass, or Body Shredding Bikini Body program.

To force us to improve, every three months we flush the bottom 10% performing programs.  We judge our programs by client surveys, InBody results, and Fitness Performance Benchmarks results.  If it’s not the best, it’s not good enough for our clients.

We specialize in helping people with existing injuries, weight loss programs, and building flexibility. The XT60 started years ago as an answer to my own personal program for weight loss (that’s now the infamous Transformation I program), but today it is the pinnacle of team-based personal training.  I have personally done every single workout in the XT60 multiple times, because quality control and safety is the cornerstone of professional personal training.

We have 40+ programs specializing in everything from movement correction, to weight loss, to building muscle and strength.  Our programs have been tested by our coaches and hundreds of clients for safety and results.  The performance and weight loss benefits of every client is measured by our benchmarks and InBody Composition Scan.  The programs that work better are kept, and the programs that generate lesser results are scrapped or revised.  Our programs will work better for you, because they have been designed from scratch to be better for a person just like you.  Moreover, our coaches scale and customize every single workout to the individual.  You won’t work too hard or too easy, you’ll work just hard enough to get the results you want safely.  Learn More

Fitness Performance Benchmark.  At Sand & Steel we measure everything.  In order to know whether a program is really working, your progress has to be examined. You need to be provided with progress standards for improvement.  We have set these guideposts through training hundreds of clients on these same programs.  We can revise your diet and/or program to make sure your improvement continues.  What worked yesterday, might not work tomorrow.  Humans improve because our bodies adapt to different stresses put on them.  We use these Benchmarks not only to place you into an XT60 program, but to monitor your progress and upgrade your program when you’ve grown out of it.

Relative ease and degree bones can move with respect to one another based on the tightness of the related muscle groups.[/pullquote]We measure current mobility and static motor control through screening.  We improve the tightened areas through our mobility programming to mobilize and strengthen the tight and weakened areas.   We find and address all the elements that limit movement and performance including short and tight muscles, soft tissue restriction, joint capsule restriction, motor control problems, joint range of motion dysfunction, and neural dynamic limitation. In short, mobilization is the tool we use to globally address movement and performance problems.Learn More FMS/YBT Screen.  Learn More Mobility
