Phase One:

Metabolism and Oxidation Phase

Have you ever worked with a trainer or followed a diet and not seen results, even though you were doing everything right? This is reality for most people who start a fitness journey -- and it is exactly why we developed this phase as our starting point.

In this phase, we use specific and strategic nutrition programming to learn your body -- do you feel better with more or less carbs? Does your training improve with higher fat or carb intake? We use biofeedback to learn your body's unique physiology so that we can optimize the following phases to see truly mind-blowing results. No cookie-cutter diet, no guessing, no "calculators" -- just tried and true science.

Phase Two:

Transformation Phase

This is the phase that most trainers or cookie-cutter programs will jump straight into -- you want to transform in some way, so let's just get started, right? Because we did our due diligence in phase one, we don't have to rely on guesswork or trial and error. Whether your goal is weight loss, body fat reduction, muscle gain, strength gain, or some combination of these -- phase two is where we start to realize this goal as efficiently as possible.

Now that we understand your body better, we can optimize your program to help you realize your goal. No two people are the same, so no two transformations should look the same.

Phase Three:

Adaptation (Lifestyle) Phase

If you've gone through a transformation before, you have most likely learned that the hardest part of the journey comes after you reach your goal. After all, every "diet" must come to an end eventually. In phase three, we teach you new habits to adapt to your lifestyle -- all to help you stay on track.

The adaptation phase is all about education and flexibility. We will teach you nutrition protocols that are sustainable over the long-term. You will learn about refeed days, how to read nutrition labels, and how to enjoy social occasions without feeling guilt -- and most importantly without undoing your hard-earned achievements.

ABOUT PEAK ATHLETICS:

Peak Athletics was founded by Chris Durso, DPT with one simple goal in mind: provide world-class personal training in the most convenient way possible... entirely remote, or the comfort of your own home!

Peak Athletics: Changing the Standard

Peak Athletics is more than just
personal training

Health and fitness is one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world

This rapid growth has made health and fitness one of the most extensively studied fields in scientific research

This continuous research leads to a constant evolution in our understanding of health, wellness, nutrition, and exercise

This is where the majority of personal trainers fail: they are not evolving alongside the field -- they are not following research or updating practices

In fitness, education and experience MATTER: and this is where Peak Athletics is a step above the rest.

Train with a trusted professional who is actively evolving with the research -- and see results that you could have never imagined.
