TRAINER TIP: Why EMOMs Hit Different at LIFTED
Let’s talk EMOMs. That’s Every Minute On the Minute—and no, it’s not just some fitness buzzword. It’s one of the most effective, no-BS training tools we use in the Strength Lab.
Here’s how it works: you’re assigned a task—say, 10 squats or burpees—and you start at the top of every minute. Finish early? You earn rest. Drag your feet? The clock eats you alive. It’s simple. Brutal. Beautiful.
At LIFTED, we don’t use EMOMs because they’re trendy. We use them because they deliver. Every. Damn. Time.

“Grip Strength = Real-Life Power”
This one’s not just about hands — it’s about connection. The way you grab that bar, the way you own the weight, the way you hold on when it gets heavy. Grip is the gateway. And when it fails? The rest follows.

Progress Isn’t Always a Heavier Bar
Let’s get one thing straight: chasing your 1-rep max every week is not the flex you think it is.
We tested your max at the start of summer for a reason—so we can train smart beneath it. Not because we’re afraid to go heavy, but because we know the real gains come from putting in the work under the ceiling, not constantly trying to punch through it.

Train Your Core — Without Endless Sit-Ups
When most people think of "core training," they picture high-rep sit-ups, crunches, and bicycle kicks. While those exercises can have their place, they only scratch the surface when it comes to truly developing a strong, stable, and functional core.

AND THE WINNERS ARE...
Our Grand Opening Weekend was one for the books—sold out classes, serious energy, new faces, new formats, and a whole lot of sweat. But beyond the workouts, we went BIG with our giveaways… and now it’s time to announce the lucky winners.

The Ideal Training Week for Strength, Longevity, and Resilience.
A few weeks ago, our very own Holly shared a powerful Instagram post that sums up what we believe at LIFTED: the best training makes you ready for whatever life throws your way. One question we hear a lot is, “What does a balanced training week actually look like?” While there’s no one-size-fits-all plan, we’ve dialed in a proven formula that hits all the essentials—strength, conditioning, recovery, and rest. Here's how we recommend structuring your week to build a strong, resilient body and stay consistent for the long haul.

Why We Train With Kettlebells in the LIFTED Strength Lab
In our Strength Lab program, barbells are the backbone of our big lifts — squats, deadlifts, and presses, but kettlebells are a key accessory tool we use to build the stability, strength, and athleticism that reinforce our compound movements. Their unique shape and offset center of gravity challenge muscles differently than a barbell, creating a deeper engagement in stabilizer muscles, improving control, and building resilience that carries over to other primary lifts.

We’ve been keeping a few secrets — and we can barely hold them in any longer…
