Hardwired Fitness

We’ll meet you where you are. People that come to us are in different positions, have different backgrounds, and different goals. We believe throwing everyone straight into a group class would be trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.... When you start with us, we begin with a thorough assessment of the way you move, your strengths, weaknesses, and goals. This way we can set up the best plan for you to succeed. This journey looks different for everyone. With personal goals, we need to create a personal plan. @activelifeprofessional #assessdontguess #turnpro #schenectady #schenectadyny #schenectadydoesntsuck #schenectadycounty #stockadeschenectady #discoverschenectady #glenvilleny #scotiany #rotterdamny #niskayuna #upstateny #hardwiredfitness #hardwired #hardwiredforhardwork #capitalregionny

REST AND RECOVERY need to be made a priority in order for you to reach your fitness goals. Sleep, nutrition and adequate rest is all part of the equation that will move the needle; going super hard and beating yourself up on a daily basis will have the opposite effect. So while you won't find us encouraging you to go hard 5 days in a row, we do recognize that SOME movement might feel better than NO movement at all.... On Thursdays you will now have the opportunity to do a Just Move! workout. The purpose of this is to give you the opportunity to opt into something that will get you moving and sweating but shouldn’t leave you feeling totally spent. Work out smarter, not (always) harder #hardwired #hardwiredfitness #hardwiredforhardwork #schenectadyny #schenectady #schenectadycounty #schenectadydoesntsuck #discoverschenectady #downtownschenectady #stockadeschenectady #capitalregionny #rotterdamny #scotiany #niskayuna #glenvilleny #functionalfitness #personaltraining #groupfitness

WE BELIEVE IN ASSESSING where you’re at to know how to best help you go where you want to go. We’re not all built the same. We don’t all perform the same.... Our programming might need to be individualized accordingly. Here’s a basic example: For every one rep you can deadlift 100lbs you should be able to: Back-squat 80lbs 1 arm carry 50lbs for 10 meters Let’s say you can back squat and deadlift the same weight as each other. Continuing to train both the hinge and squat pattern the same may lead to aches, pains and further imbalances, not to mention a loss of performance. We want to make sure we take your abilities, strengths and weaknesses into account when creating a program. This is why we start your fitness journey with an assessment. #turnpro #hardwiredfitness #hardwired #hardwiredforhardwork #hardwiredforhealth #schenectadyny #schenectady #schenectadycounty #schenectadydoesntsuck #downtownschenectady #stockadeschenectady #scotiany #niskayuna #glenville #rotterdamny #discoverschenectady #upstateny #personaltraining #assessdontguess

WE HAVE A HUNCH that nobody actually joins the gym to get fit, they join the gym to do the things fit people can do. Here’s a quick list of some of those things: 1. Feel proud when looking in the mirror 2. Live a long, healthy life... 3. Play with their kids 4. Defend themselves 5. Have confidence 6. Make a better living 7. Continue with their hobbies 9. Avoid sickness as much as able Obviously there are a lot of things not on this list. The point is that no one joins for the fitness, they join for the benefits of being fit. Which begs the question, why do you work out? What are you looking to get out of it? #turnpro #hardwired #hardwiredforhardwork #schenectady #hardwiredfitness #schenectadyny #schenectadydoesntsuck #schenectadycounty #capitalregionny #stockadeschenectady #discoverschenectady #downtownschenectady #rotterdamny #scotiany #niskayuna #glenvilleny #personaltraining #groupfitness #functionalfitness #upstateny

IT'S A COMMON MISCONCEPTION that you need to "get in shape" before starting group classes or personal training. We hear a lot of people say that it's been such a long time since they have last worked out that they feel like they are starting "at zero." The way we see it, if you start at zero, you can only go up. ... You don't need to get in shape before you come in here. All you need is the willingness to give your best effort on any given day that you walk through the door. We will take care of the rest. #hardwired #hardwiredfitness #hardwiredforhardwork #schenectady #schenectadyny #schenectadycounty #schenectadydoesntsuck #downtownschenectady #discoverschenectady #scotiany #rotterdamny #niskayuna #glenvilleny #capitalregionny #upstateny
