How does it work?

Invictus has been providing health and fitness coaching excellence and programming for over 15 years. With the launch of the Invictus Affiliate Programming, gym owners can now purchase Invictus programming for their gym, to bring that same level of excellence to their community.

What is the programming like?

Invictus Programming includes access to the following tracks: 

    • Performance: This is your classic CrossFit track – each day, a strength and a metcon, and not always in that order. 
    • Fitness: This is where most humans should train for health and longevity. Members will see body composition changes, increased lean muscle mass, improved conditioning and movement quality by incorporating unilateral exercises, tempo training, mobility supersets and upper/lower splits. 
    • Muscle: Traditional strength training meets body building meets CrossFit. These classes look easy on paper, but rest assured, they will thoroughly smoke you. CrossFitters who wish to put on slabs of muscle mass will love this track.
    • Motor: This program develops your engine – without having to know how to cycle a barbell! This class is perfect for the CrossFitter that needs to improve their conditioning as well as a member training for outdoor adventures and weekend races. 
    • Strength: Classic and neo-classical strength training periodization models meet CrossFit and bodybuilding. Similar to the “Muscle” track, but with more longitudinal structure to the main strength progressions, this track is for the more advanced members who desire to prioritize strength adaptations.
    • Running: Features three sessions per week of training geared towards helping CrossFitters improve their running without overtraining. This track fits seamlessly with all of our other tracks.
