New clients appreciated the slightly slower pace, learning-focused environment, and emphasis on form.
Current clients also loved it too. They told me taking time to work on and improving the basics was really great.

Here is a link to our full Boot Camp / PT schedule for both our Downtown / Land Park and Pocket / Greenhaven locations (includes updated instructor info as well):
No matter where you are in your fitness journey, you are welcome here.
As you can see on the page linked above, we have different programs – specifically designed for YOU – based on where you are now, and where you want to go.
Bottom line – we are dedicated to helping Sacramento men and women get stronger, be better, and change their lives!
When people first sign up and get going at one of our personal training / boot camp studios, their goals are typically:
– lose fat
– gain muscle
– improve energy
– get consistent with their workouts
– improve their overall fitness level
And truly, a large majority of folks succeed in reaching these initial goals.
Which is amazing! Because it changes a person’s life in so many ways.
But a lot of times what happens THEN is, people get NEW goals.
They want to get stronger. More fit. Leaner.
So a natural progression is, in addition to continuing with our core kettlebell / bodyweight – based boot camp workout program, getting them into one of our advanced small groups, where we incorporate some of the basic barbell lifts into their programming, along with more advanced kettlebell and bodyweight exercises, and harder / more technical workouts overall.
And the first lift we typically teach to folks new to this stuff is the deadlift.
A deadlift is a strength-training exercise that hits almost every muscle group in your entire body. It will help you jump higher, run faster, and perform better. And is just feels GOOD to lift a heavy weight off the floor! 🙂
Now. The exercise might seem simple – you’re just picking a weight up off the ground, after all 🙂 – but it is actually quite technical. In today’s video, I break down five simple tips that will help you learn to do the movement safely and effectively:
If you are ready to take your workouts to the next level and learn some of the basic barbell lifts, the deadlift is a great place to start.
The tips in today’s video will go a long way in helping you do the exercise safely and effectively.
To your success! –

Group-based workouts have been the core program offering at FVT for years now. And they will continue as a huge part of our program.
But some people just prefer to train alone. Others have a schedule that doesn’t work with our regular workout times. Others have specific goals and needs that are better addressed in this setting.
Whatever the reason, personal training is something folks have been interested in, in the past, but we have not had a lot of availability for.
But we have recently had a few spots open up in our schedule.
At the beginning of 2018, we made a commitment to upping our game, and getting involved MORE in the local Sacramento, CA community.
We are off to a solid start. We have raised over $2500 total so far this year for various charitable causes. We also collected over 100 pairs of socks in our Loaves and Fishes sock drive event.
A huge THANK YOU for your support!!!!
The next event we are planning on participating in is called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. It is happening Sunday, May 20th, 2018. Here is a pic from a past WAM event:
