Excel Strength and Performance

Saturdays are for showing up. 💪

Every Saturday at 10 AM, Excel coaches lead a community workout — and every member is invited.

Brand new to training? Come join us.
Been training for years? Come join us.
Getting back into a routine? Come join us.

You don't have to be at a certain fitness level to participate.

No matter where you are in your fitness journey, we'll meet you where you are.

Our Saturday workouts are a chance to train together, challenge yourself, have some fun, and be part of the Excel community.

📍 Every Saturday
⏰ 10 AM
💪 All members + all fitness levels welcome

We'll see you Saturday!

Your back does a LOT more than help you look strong.

A strong posterior chain — including your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings — helps support your body through everyday movements and athletic activities.

One movement we use to build that strength? Back extensions.

Back extensions can help train your:
• Erector spinae and lower back
• Glutes
• Hamstrings
• Posterior chain strength and endurance

They're useful for more than just lifting heavier weights. A stronger posterior chain can help you hinge, lift, carry, run, jump, and move with greater control.

And like any exercise, proper technique matters. The goal isn't to crank your back into extension — it's to control the movement and train the muscles doing the work.

Strong back. Strong posterior chain. Stronger movement.

Maybe you don't hate working out. Maybe you just haven't found a way of training that fits your life.

Maybe you don't need another 6-week challenge.

Maybe you don't need someone yelling at you to push harder.

Maybe you need a plan that makes sense for your goals, coaching when you need it, and a place where you don't feel like you have to prove anything.

At Excel, we offer different ways to train — from Individualized Design and small group training to HYROX-style hybrid training, sport-specific training, youth athletics, and nutrition coaching.

Different goals. Different schedules. Different starting points.

One place to build a program around you.

If you've been looking for something different from the typical gym experience, send us a message. We'd love to show you what Excel has to offer.

September is the perfect time to stop putting your fitness on the back burner.

The kids are back in school. Summer schedules are winding down. Fall routines are settling in.

So why not make YOU part of that routine?

At Excel, you don't have to be an experienced lifter or already "in shape" to belong here.

Whether you're:

🏋️ Brand new to strength training
💪 Looking to get stronger
🔥 Training for a specific goal
🏃 Wanting to improve your conditioning
🎯 Getting back into fitness after time away
👟 Training for your sport
📈 Ready to take your current training to the next level

—we have a place for you.

With Individualized Design, small group training, nutrition coaching, HYROX-style hybrid training, and experienced coaches, you can find the training approach that fits your goals and your life.

And here's the thing:

You don't need to be ready before you walk through the door.

That's what we're here for.

Start now. Build the habits. Get stronger. Create some momentum.

Then when January rolls around, you won't be starting over.

You'll already be on your way.

📲 Ready to find your fit at Excel? Send us a message or stop by the gym and let's talk about how to reach your goals.

Congratulations to our September Member of the Month, Cole Albert.

Cole is a student athlete who has been putting in early morning work at Excel to hone in his baseball skills and increase strength through a program designed by Coach Kenney. Here's what Cole has to say about his experience at Excel:

"At Excel the atmosphere is always motivating. I love coming to Excel because I have a knowledgeable trainer next to me for every rep. Coach Kenney is great!"

If you see Cole getting in a few swings in our batting cage, tell him to keep up the hard work. We are excited to see where he will go!

Excel Strength and Performance Baseball training is designed to allow youth athletes to continue to develop functional skills in off season and create a foundation for ongoing development.

Work with experienced coaches to improve performance and gain strength in all areas.

What if your progress isn't supposed to look the way you thought it would?

Progress can look like:

💪 Adding weight to a lift
🏃 Running farther without stopping
😴 Sleeping better
🥗 Making better choices most days
🧠 Feeling more confident in the gym
👖 Your clothes fitting differently
⚡ Having more energy throughout the day
🔥 Recovering faster between workouts
🏆 Doing something you couldn't do six months ago

Fitness isn't just about changing how you look.

It's about building a body that can do more, feel better, and keep up with the life you want to live.

Don't overlook the wins just because they don't show up on the scale.

Keep showing up. The progress is happening.

The scale is only one piece of the puzzle.

When we talk about nutrition and body composition at Excel, we don't want you obsessing over one number.

We pay attention to body fat percentage, lean mass, measurements, performance, energy, and overall health because those numbers can tell us much more about what is actually happening with your body.

You can lose 10 pounds and lose muscle along with it.

Or you can stay around the same weight while losing body fat, gaining muscle, getting stronger, and improving your health.

That’s why body composition matters.

We also pay attention to BMI because, despite its limitations, a higher BMI is associated at the population level with increased risk for several chronic health conditions and can impact long-term health and longevity.

But BMI doesn't tell us how much of your weight comes from muscle versus fat.

That's where body composition becomes especially useful.

Our goal isn't simply "weigh less."

It's to help you build a healthier body — one that is stronger, better fueled, more active, and more sustainable for the long term.

The number on the scale doesn't tell the whole story. Let's look at the whole picture with Excel ESSENTIALS nutrition coaching. DM us for more info.

DO YOU REALLY NEED A PERSONAL TRAINER TO GET A PROGRAM BUILT FOR YOU?

At Excel, we believe you can have individualized programming, expert coaching, and accountability without having to pay for a trainer to stand beside you for every workout.

That’s why we offer Individualized Design.

🏋️ TRADITIONAL PERSONAL TRAINING

With traditional 1-on-1 personal training:

• You pay a higher cost for every coached session
• Your training schedule is based on your trainer's availability
• Your workouts are tied to the sessions you have scheduled
• Traveling can mean putting your training on hold because your trainer isn't with you

📋 INDIVIDUALIZED DESIGN AT EXCEL

With Individualized Design, your program is built around YOU.

Your goals. Your experience. Your schedule. Your needs.

You come into the gym and follow your individualized program while having a coach available to supervise, answer questions, provide feedback, and make adjustments when needed.

And the flexibility is a huge advantage.

Train on YOUR schedule.
You're not waiting for your trainer to have an opening.

Travel with YOUR program.
Your training doesn't stop because you're out of town. Your program can travel with you.

Build YOUR independence.
You learn how to understand your workouts, use equipment properly, and become confident training on your own — with coaching support when you need it.

Individualized Design is a more affordable way to get individualized programming and coaching support.

We want to teach you how to train confidently for life.

If you want individualized programming with the flexibility to train on your schedule — and the support of a coach when you need it —DM us today for more information on how to get started.
