• power-to-weight ratio
• recovery
• nutrition and hydration
• program design and scheduling

Curriculum:

The two-day seminar curriculum provides a basic understanding of our training philosophy and methods. If you are serious about athletic development the water is deep. This is an introductory course so we call it the shallow end of the pool. This two-day seminar is a prerequisite to continuing education and training. The seminar attendee will be tested at the end of the seminar on the material covered. Class size is limited to 15 individuals.

This two-day seminar is scheduled for 8 hours each day, with time split between the classroom and the gym. However, previous seminars lasted roughly 10 hours each day. Be prepared. Every participant has left the seminar wanting more, and having had enough.

The cost of the Gym Jones “Fundamentals” seminar is $1,000.
