The JK Training Method

- Assessment: Thrive conducts a thorough fitness analysis, considering aspects such as aerobic capacity, strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
- Customization: Based on the assessment, Thrive creates tailored programs to meet each client’s unique objectives and preferences.
- Progress Tracking: Training at Thrive is an ongoing relationship. Progress is reassessed after each phase, and the program is adjusted to keep clients motivated and on track.
