What makes SLC Strength & Conditioning different?
Our programs are very unique and very few individuals, especially in the general population, get the opportunity to see and experience this type of training as this model is mostly implemented at the collegiate and professional athlete level because it’s proven to work and is scientifically backed. With that in mind, the training strategy that we implement at SLC Strength & Conditioning is designed to constantly progress the body and push your body to new limits with little to no risk of injury. We have the ability to train individuals of all experience levels ranging from novice to expert and the program(s) can be catered to any goal whether you’re looking for body building, functional movement, sport performance, or weight loss.
Additionally, our team has your best interest in mind and we want to ensure your health and fitness goals are met. We understand that you may not know us yet, but we promise you are in good hands. The Strength and Conditioning Model that we implement at our gym is extremely scientific, complicated, and requires advanced knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and kinesiology, years of experience with elite level coaches that implement and execute this training model, and continual research to ensure we are up to date with all of the information that we provide our clients. These are all standards and minimum qualifications that we require all coaching staff at SLC Strength & Conditioning to have. To elaborate further, all of our coaches hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in a related field, hold the NSCA/CSCS certification which is the gold standard in the industry, and they must have over 800 hours of training before they can call themselves a coach in our facility. Please trust their judgment and ask questions, we are here to help! Check out our coaches HERE
Are external programs permitted for use during Coached Open Hours at SLC Strength & Conditioning?
In short, no, we do not allow individuals to use external programming in our facility. To elaborate further, our number one priority is our member’s safety and success; we can ensure both of those are achieved with our scientifically backed and successfully tested programming that we design and implement in house. We do not know the integrity of the program that is being used and it can be difficult for our coaching staff to monitor your safety and continued success while using our facilities. We expect members to attend at least two weeks of our programmed classes before opting to attend Coached Open Hours.

All SLC Strength programs are easily modifiable for pre-existing injury without decreasing the quality of training and progression opportunity. If pre-existing injury is present, all of our coaches are highly qualified and trained in appropriate modifications for any given injury and exercises that should be avoided until the injury has fully healed or we can work to correct any muscular imbalances, as your safety and continued health is our number one priority! Please understand that our job is to, assist with modification and proper progression for your pre-existing injury, avoid additional injury and prevent injury going forward while still progressing your health via our coaching and your trainingIt is vital to build foundational strength before we advance certain movements, if we do this correctly we will increase your strength and power outputs faster than you ever have seen before.
