One-on-one strength, functional, and endurance programs designed by coaches trained in performance and longevity science. Every training purchase includes a complimentary fitness assessment.
Every training client starts the same way: a fitness assessment that maps your movement, training history, and goals to the right program. From there, your coach builds a progression grounded in current performance science and informed by our on-site testing and recovery tools. Whether you're lifting your first barbell, rebuilding mobility after an injury, or chasing a marathon PR, the plan is tailored to you and the data you bring to it.
Your complimentary fitness assessment is included when you purchase any personal training session or a Complete Cardiometabolic Profile. After you purchase, our team schedules your assessment directly with one of our coaches.
Already purchased a session or test? Email members@carlsbadathleticclub.com or reach out to schedule your assessment.
Every member and athlete can work one-on-one with a coach on a fully customized program. We meet you where you are today, at any age, any fitness level, any sport, and build the plan that gets you to what's next.
Alongside custom personal training, we offer three evidence-based programs drawn from the leading methodologies in strength, functional fitness, and endurance training.
Built on Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength methodology, centered on the compound barbell lifts: squat, press, deadlift, bench press, and power clean. Linear progression, precise technique, and coached accountability drive measurable gains in strength, lean mass, bone density, and metabolic health. The fastest path to a strong, resilient body for new lifters and adults rebuilding a baseline.
A movement-first program blending mobility, stability, and dynamic strength. Every session works through patterns that matter outside the gym: hinging, squatting, pressing, pulling, rotating, and carrying. Ideal for active adults who want to feel athletic again and anyone training around stiffness, old injuries, or joint limitations. The goal is a body that moves well and resists injury.
Zone-based endurance coaching grounded in Pfitzinger's Advanced Marathoning and Norwegian Method principles. Training is organized around your VT1 and VT2 thresholds and dialed in with VO2 max data, so every easy day stays aerobic and every hard session hits the intended system. Built for runners, cyclists, triathletes, and longevity-focused adults.
