Caveman Training-Basic

This level of training is for the de-trained athlete that requires a large amount of instruction and supervision when it comes to exercise.  The Instructors are very patient and will work the participants within their own fitness level.  The sessions are very structured with an emphasis on learning proper exercise technique while improving   participant fitness levels.  The Caveman TrainingTM-Basic sessions start with a 15 minute warm up, followed by a minimum of 20 minutes of low level cardiovascular training and ending with 25 minutes of strength training.  A strong team concept is present in every session.  All participants are welcome to join this level.

Caveman Training-Intermediate

This level of training is for the athlete who is in good shape but wishes to take their fitness to a higher level.  The Instructors push the participants out of their comfort zone while still emphasizing proper form and technique.  The sessions are run at a higher pace than the Caveman TrainingTM-Basic level with more emphasis on higher cardiovascular and muscular output.  These sessions are structured much like the Caveman TrainingTM-Advanced level but are run at a slightly slower pace.  A strong team concept is present in every session.  Participants will be allowed into this level with the permission of an API Instructor.

Caveman Training-Advanced

This is our most advanced level of training.  The sessions are run at a very high pace with an emphasis on pushing the participants out of their comfort zone and into a whole new level of training.  These sessions are not for the beginner and participants are encouraged to be in a high level of fitness prior to joining.   Participants must be not only physically tough but also must be mentally tough.  A strong team concept is present in every session.  Participants can gain entry into the Caveman TrainingTM-Advanced level by being invited in by an API Instructor or by earning their way in through a tryout.

Caveman Training-Circuit

This new training program is different from every other program offered by API.  The sessions are approximately 1 hour in length and consist of a highly charged cardiovascular workout mixed with a large amount of Core training.  Additional body weight exercises are used but the emphasis is on cardiovascular training with the ultimate goal of fat loss and a leaner physique.  Think of this class as a typical “Aerobics” class on Steroids.  All participants are allowed entry into the program and are encouraged to push themselves to their limit. The Instructors lead the session in a highly motivated, team oriented, participant supportive environment.

Caveman Training-Fighter

This program is utilized by Combat Athletes of all levels.  The sessions consist of strength and conditioning drills that are done in the structure of the participants’ event and are custom designed to fit their muscular and cardiovascular needs.  The pace of the sessions, force the participants to train at their highest level in an effort to prepare them for the “worst case scenario” in their event.  Participants are only allowed in the program with the permission of an API Instructor.

Caveman Training-Sport

This new program is a summer strength and conditioning program specifically designed the prepare high school and junior high school aged athletes for their fall sports seasons.  The program meets three times per week for an hour each time.  The program begins at the start of the summer and will conclude prior to the start of school in the fall.  All types of training are included in the program including, cardiovascular training, strength training and speed and agility training.  This is an intense training program that prepares all participants for their fall sports.  All high school and junior aged participants will be allowed entry into the program.

Runningman Training

The Runningman Training program is a group that meets once per week and will utilize all types of running.  The ultimate goal is for all participants to be able to compete in and finish a 5K run.   The group meets at the API Training Center and runs through the surrounding area.  There is a possibility of the group meeting off site for additional training.  All types of Running Training are utilized including, long and slow pace, interval pace and Fartlek Training.  Running parachutes as well as running harnesses are also used.  Proper running mechanics, racing strategy and proper hydration are covered as topics.

Battling Ropes

You have to experience it to believe it.  The program was designed and implemented by John Brookfield.  John is a good friend of API’s and has been kind enough to share his secrets with the API staff.  This program is based on his teachings and is mixed with just the right amount of the API way.  The program uses heavy ropes, chains and other implements to develop tremendous power, strength and endurance.

Personal Training

The vast knowledge and experience of the API Instructors are available to everyone on a personal, one on one basis.  The API Instructors will custom design and personally tailor a workout program to fit the needs and goals of the personal training client.  The Instructor will then train the client in a very motivated and yet highly supported environment.  The unique equipment in and the design of the API Training Center make it an ideal setting to get clients the best results in the shortest time possible.
