Introduction

Hello class, my name is Coach Benton. Steven Benton Image

This course is designed to bring the student to an approach at athletic conditioning and strength training. You can be brand new to fitness or a advanced lifter but this program will teach you the background of certain types of lifts and understand the true meaning of strength and conditioning. There will be times that there's no weights involved, or there could just be bands. Our goal in this classroom is to develop hard work, communication, skills, planning, being organized, and seeing results. In this class you will be able to walk out the gym doors and no you have improved your overall body and mind from when you entered the gym and left. Image result for college weightroom
