Within Persist, you can train on your schedule with a variety of options:

• 5 Days: The Perform, Pump Lift, and Pump Condition tracks are 5 days per week, plus optional active recovery.
• 4 Days: Pillars and Minimalist
• 3 Days: Pump Lift and Pump Condition also have full body split versions that are 3 days per week

You can also access past workouts on the calendar for even more flexibility to follow workouts at your own pace.

60 minutes or less for PILLARS or MINIMALIST, 60-75 minutes typically for PERFORM or PUMP. Each workout includes Short on Time notes if you need to get it in quicker. Persist also comes with the PUMP 40 E-book for 40-minute muscle-building sessions.

MINIMALIST uses dumbbells, a bench/box, and pull-up bar, or see the bodyweight-only workshop for alternatives. The other tracks use free weights such as barbells/plates, DBs, KBs, etc. and a rower, bike, or similar alternative. Substitution info is provided. PUMP LIFT also includes machine options found at conventional gyms.

Athletes who get the most out of Persist are comfortable following a written workout along with demo videos, and ask questions if they’re not sure. You’ll find a mix of muscle-building techniques like tempo, supersets, drop sets, etc. Detailed coach notes are provided, and athlete support is here to help! Persist also includes an on-ramp workshop (FBB 101) to introduce you to this style of training.

Injuries suck – so we try to keep them away through thoughtful movement selection. Many participants have healed nagging injuries by using the warmups, cooldowns, and recovery flows designed by our in-house Physical Therapist. Additional mobility videos are also included in Persist’s video library. And athlete support can answer any questions that might come up.

Persist updates training weekly, so there’s always a new way to build muscle. If you miss a workout, you can skip it to stay with the group, or use the calendar feature to go back to it any time.
