Strength & conditioning
Progressive strength work with conditioning that supports it, not the other way around.
What it is
Kettlebells, dumbbells, bands and bodyweight organized into training that builds over time.
Strength and conditioning at EWB is functional in the plain sense: the work should make the rest of your life easier. That means lifts with a clear purpose, conditioning that does not bury your recovery, and progress you can see across weeks.
The studio works with bodyweight, bands, kettlebells, dumbbells, TRX and balance tools, plus cardio equipment for endurance work. Sessions are coached, whether you are in a small group or working one-to-one.

Most easy training should sit in Z1–Z2. Save Z4–Z5 for short, deliberate efforts — and use the talk test when a wrist reading looks wrong.
Estimates only. Maximum heart rate is an age-based average, not a measurement. If you take medication that affects heart rate or have a cardiac condition, ask your doctor before training to these zones.
Questions
Asked already.
If your question is not here, call (619) 884-4937 or email [email protected].
Is this powerlifting?
No. Strength & conditioning is general strength work for daily life and sport. If you have a powerlifting goal, say so when you inquire and the studio will tell you whether it is the right fit.
Do I need to be strong already?
No. The point is to start where you are and add load gradually. Technique comes before weight.
How often should I train?
That depends on your history, recovery and goals. A coach can help you choose a frequency — call to talk it through.
