368 Athletics, Inc. (368) represents the concept of optimal fitness and wellness encompassing the 8 Essentials of Athleticism. They are strength, power, flexibility, reflexes, SAQ (speed, agility, & quickness), balance, mental preparation, and recovery. We refer to most of our clients as athletes because this is how we train them. From the general population to professional athletes, 368 staff trains the body to depend on itself with full range of motion movements and strength building scenarios. With this philosophy of fitness, it becomes about what your body feels like on a daily basis and less about what it looks like. When you feel stronger, have more endurance, and have enhanced flexibility, suddenly you move better! We all have biomechanics that can be improved upon to create each person's own level of athleticism.Athleticism -- physically active and strong; of, like, or befitting an athlete; the use of physical skills or capabilities, as strength, agility, or staminaAt 368 the focus is on empowering the client to fulfill their goals of optimal health and wellness. Our lives are constantly changing and so should our training regimens. We implement program design for different periods of time and in most cases no training session is ever the same. There are a variety of different tools used for clients to achieve their goals. The most important is overall bodyweight training. People use their bodies everyday for work and play. If they are not able to move their bodies efficiently, how can they move external weights effectively? Most likely that would not happen and asymmetries are created with their biomechanics that can cause pain, stiffness, and other chronic conditions.Functional conditioning is a big part of a successful training program. Everyone wants to move better and feel better. So, 368's emphasis is on the body moving through all planes of motion; the way our bodies were designed to move. 368 uses various tools to achieve optimal conditioning such as kettlebells, battling ropes, sandbags, Indian clubs, bands, free weights, bodyweight equipment, stability balls, medicine balls, bosu, multiplanar apparatus, sleds, tires, etc. By using these tools and partnering with some of the best trainers and strength coaches, 368 knows these tools are not an end all be all solution. The 368 trainers and strength coaches believe it is about the client's will and desire to be their best and not solely about the different tools utilized. The tools are just catalysts to get the client to their optimal goals in fitness and overall wellbeing.Kettlebells - a cast iron or steel weight looking somewhat like a cannonball with a handle for gripping during exercise.At 368, the staff believes in working with other practitioners to help their clients with complete fitness and wellness.
