Who Legion works with
Legion coaches athletes with different goals. Some want to compete at a high level. Others want to look lean, master the movements, or build health for their job. It also fits people who have outgrown regular gym group classes and want to keep progressing. Coaches can join the workshops.
How Legion works
Legion builds training around each athlete's goals and the trade-offs that come with them. Athletes get outside feedback on their movement. The team teaches proper pacing and backs off hard training when skills need work. Programs match the athlete's real needs, such as competing, strength or skill. For coaches, the program design workshops use real examples and give individual feedback on each person's programs.
