Program Design
The ICON Epoch Stage training method consists of three phases to progressively improve individual clients from a sedentary lifestyle to effectively strengthening the heart, lungs, joints and muscles while burning fat. All programs are designed specifically to each individuals goals and needs.

Epoch Foundation Phase™
The Foundation phase is primarily adapting neurologically to stress placed on the body. This phase creates new habits and introduces new activities. Your foundation is the introduction of new exercises and is the building blocks to any good workout program.

Epoch Functional Strength Phase™
In this phase the body will progressively adapt to exercise stress in the form of physiological adjustments (the body is under no stress). This includes skeletal, biochemical, muscular, cardiovascular and connective tissue changes. This phase is usually broken up into 4 parts, Functional training, Hypertrophy training, Strength and Power training.

Epoch Endurance Phase™
This stage is the active rest stage in which one typically rests from heavy weight bearing exercises and recovers with low intensity cardiovascular and non-weighted movements. Progress occurs while the body learns to naturally adapt to the change in activity producing incredible results along with a healthy nutritional plan. Journaling both your food intake as well as your daily exercise is an absolute key to the individual client success.
