3 PHASE FITNESS: Programming for all phases of life.

​There is no end goal in fitness. There are only different phases that we all go through. We aren’t traveling linearly from points A to Z. No one phase is more important than the other. We move through a continuum , and each phase contributes and overlaps with the next. We often even revisit a phase at some point in our lives.
Sometimes we just want to own our bodies. We have an inner desire to move better and breathe better. Then there are times where we want to build up our bodies with weights. And occasionally we find that there is a specific sport or activity that we identify with. Conditioning for weight loss may lead to marathons which can introduce you to cross-training. Cross-training can lead to Crossfit which may take you to weightlifting. And then at some point you find yourself back to conditioning and core strengthening.
When you enter our gym the first question we will have for you is “what phase are you in?” And if you don’t know, don’t worry; we will help you to find it. A coach will be waiting for you and ready to take you through our in-house assessment. The beginning of your free week of training will be devoted to finding the right phase for you. 
With that said, 3 Phase Fitness is who we've become. We're no longer one style of training. Lehigh Valley Barbell doesn't really describe who we are anymore. We'll follow up with more detail, but the take home message is that there are three main phases to our Phase Method: movement mastery, strength acquisition, and skill development.  We also have two competitive club teams that are affiliated with our gym: LVB Weightlifting, and LVB Powerlifting.

In our next post we will go into more detail about how you can join our gym or our club teams. Spoiler alert, we have four different memberships starting at $80: basic, general, semi-private, and club team.

PLEASE TELL ME MORE
LVB first began with the intention of teaching people how to become better movers through barbell lifts. Dr. John Giacalone, owner and founder of LVB, and co-owner of Mobility-Doc, was competing in weightlifting and saw a way to use the sport he loved to help more people to be healthy. 

Over the past two years, as our membership went from 0 to 100 members, our vision for LVB expanded. We realized we were no longer just a barbell club. We were also no longer just weightlifting. With that we created our 3 Phase Method of programming, and we created a non-profit club for weightlifting and powerlifting. 

Our mission is to treat powerlifting like any other club sport in America. We have two full-time coaches, and we are ready to build our team. Because we are trying to create a true club, pricing will not be the same as a globo gym. But there will be fundraising to help the athletes to train, compete, and travel. Our club is one where any human being can enter through our doors and get treated with respect. There is no room for islands or egos here.

If you are looking to train as a powerlifter, and you want to be a part of a team, now is the time to join. At LVB you won't have to wait for the one squat rack to open up, or send your videos in to a coach who you've probably never met. Memberships begin at $60 to join LVB. You can try us for free for one week if you'd like. And if you know anyone who could benefit from our services, please share this with them.
