How we train.
You're training for yourself. To be stronger, to last longer, and to use your body better at everything else.
The Standards.
Every standard is something real you'll be able to do.

What we test.
The free screen
- How you move: fifteen movements, scored
- What you're after, and anything that hurts
- You leave with a written plan and where to start
The performance panel
- Your working loads on the main lifts. Nobody maxes out.
- Your engine: a VO2 max test on the bike or rower, ranked for your age and sex
- Lean mass by caliper: same tester, same sites, every time
- A written read-out, and your plan built off it
The full panel
- A DEXA scan: lean mass, body fat, bone density
- Bloodwork through an independent lab
- We read it with you, and with your doctor if you want
- Your nutrition plan is built off it
DEXA and labs through independent providers. You book with them directly; on Coaching and Complete, Persist covers the cost. Persist does not replace your physician.
