THETRAINING
The Yard Gym workout is uniquely designed with a dual-zone setup, featuring a strength side ("RIG") and a conditioning side ("TURF"). This layout allows both zones to run simultaneously side by side, giving our members the flexibility to choose their next workout based on their specific training needs.
THE WORK OUT
At The Yard Gym, our programming is built on four fundamental training principles: progression, overload, specificity, and individualization. Our system balances variety and structure, giving our members the freedom to train in different ways, while maintaining consistency in effort and outcomes.
Our core classes, RIG and TURF, work hand-in-hand blending strength and endurance to help you build a strong, capable body. Supporting these are our signature sessions of PAYDAY and GAMEDAY—hybrid workouts that fuel friendly competition and create a powerful sense of community within the gym.
With an ever-evolving program that delivers a fresh training experience every week, our members stay challenged and inspired. It’s a results-driven approach powered by dynamic, enjoyable workouts.
