Clients want a ripped core and for decades trainers and coaches alike have told athletes to “work the core” – the muscles of the torso that support your every move. The gluteal muscles are so commonly left out of a strength training program and it’s the combination of a strong core and powerful glutes that allows for a properly functioning body. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to asses core stability and strength, and how to design a glutes and core program that will challenge all.
