StrongFirst is the School of Strength
“Strength is the foundation for developing the rest of physical qualities.” —Prof. Leonid Matveev
To reach high levels of power, endurance, sport skill, and fat loss you must become strong first. Period.
We teach men and women how to reach high levels of strength. Quickly, safely, and without interfering with their duty, job, or sport.
StrongFirst School of Strength is comprised of three modalities—SFG (Kettlebell), SFL (Barbell), SFB (Bodyweight)—and one set of universal training principles. We reverse-engineered what the strongest do naturally—and bring this exclusive knowledge to you.
StrongFirst methods are scientifically and empirically based and have a proven record with professional athletes, elite military and law enforcement operators, as well as regular folks who have decided to be weak no more.
StrongFirst Accredited Gym
All StrongFirst Instructors have passed the same strict testing criteria—and retest to maintain that credential every two years—but not all of them have a training facility. If you are looking for a gym to train at—a gym with coaches who have met our industry-high standards of safe and effective strength instruction—you have come to the right place.
Just like our StrongFirst Certified Instructors, Rapid Results Fitness has met strict StrongFirst Accreditation approval criteria. And yes—all are equipped with our favorite tools for strength: bars and plates, kettlebells, and pull-up bars.
You can be sure that the training instruction, guidance, and supervision you receive here at Rapid Results Fitness meet StrongFirst’s standards of quality.
Learn from our Certified Instructors
You want to be stronger, and you want to get there safely. Strength with safety is our specialty—and no one in the world does this better than a StrongFirst Certified Instructor.
The principles of strength and the skill of strength development are fundamental to and consistent among all three. But because specialized technique is crucial for safely instructing others, you should seek a Certified Instructor who holds the credential for the modality you wish to learn and practice. An SFB Certified Instructor will know far more about strength acquisition than a typical trainer, for instance, but if you want to incorporate kettlebell training, then an SFG Instructor is non-negotiable. (Same goes for the barbell and SFL, respectively.)
A session at Rapid Results Fitness with one of our instructors is not a passive experience. Their eyes will be on you, ensuring you understand the nuances of technique and safe, strong execution. You will be mentally engaged in the process… it is nothing at all like a mindless routine that you might see in the group fitness room of an ordinary gym. You are learning new skills here, and these skills will make you stronger than you believed you could be.
