Our Philosophy
We are thrilled to be able to provide onsite Strength Training at the 8044FIT & Anchor Wellness Center.
Strength training with the Anchor Wellness Center is more than just working out. Our strength trainers and coaches are movement specialist. They work to ensure that proper movement patterns and sequences are estabilished from the beginning, building on skill and intensity as milestones are accomplished.
Clean movement is key to progress and preventing injury. It’s also key to optimizing performance.

We’re also incredibly lucky to have expanded the Anchor Wellness Center into Evendale, Ohio with a 7,200 square foot facility that was carefully designed for a free easy flow. From our platforms and barbell area, to our kettle bell work stations, into our climbing ropes and rings, and a seamless transition to our turf. Plenty of open work space and quick transitions through the space allow for seamless program design.
Strength training should begin with an emphasis on reestablishing clean movement patterns. When we move well, maximizing fitness goals ranging from performance enhancement to strength gains and weight loss are attainable.
Strength training isn’t just for athletes. In fact, often our medical specialists are encouraging strength training as part of our plan of care which make it a great asset even when hurt. The goal of movement is to continue achieving, constantly progressing and challenging ourselves. Because of this, strength coaches also work with those who are finished with their rehab and general population individuals as well.
Our coaches are committed to their professional development and education to assure you the most efficient and effective training possible.
Our coaches utilize a variety of philosophies including but not limited to the following:
Olympic Lifting
Olympic lifting utilizes the entire body. The two types of Olympic lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk, involve a full range of motions aimed at lifting the maximum weight at a rapid speed using a barbell.
It also helps increase lean body mass. Unlike bodybuilding in which muscles are forced to grow, Olympic lifting instead focuses on improving coordination and speed, gradually building strength and creating lean muscle. It also helps reduce body fat.
It improves endurance . Incorporating a snatch or a clean and jerk (or both) sessions in your routine improves your high-intensity exercise endurance. In time, you’d be able to recover faster and do more challenging exercises and more intense sessions.
High Intensity Interval Training or H.I.I.T.
is the cutting edge of exercise science. Combining both strength training and high intensity intervals has shown to achieve higher amounts of calories burned in a shorter amount of time when compared to traditional training methods. More calories burned means more fat melting away.
Kettlebell Training
There are plenty of benefits to kettlebell training and one of the main ones is this: many kettlebell exercises are dynamic, often ballistic, meaning fast lifts rather than the slow and controlled strength training most of us are used to doing.
Mixed Martial Arts
Resistace Training
Resistance training is founded on the principle that the body will resist force when compelled to do so. Resistance exercises are, therefore, those that cause muscles to contract against any external resisting force — these could be your own body weight or objects like dumbbells and barbells, weight machines, or resistance bands.
Resistance exercises are what you need to be doing if you want to tone your physique, increase your endurance, and strengthen your muscles.
Corrective Exercise
Functional Training
Exercises designed to mimic and enhance natural movements used in sports and everyday life.
Body Building
Muscle Activation Technique
Spartan Race Training
A high-intensity fitness program designed to build strength, endurance, and mental toughness. It incorporates functional exercises, obstacle-specific skills, and interval training to prepare for Spartan races or improve overall fitness. The focus is on resilience, adaptability, and achieving peak physical performance.
Women’s Fitness
Cycle Syncing
Involves aligning your workouts with the phases of your menstrual cycle. By tailoring exercise intensity and types—like strength training during the follicular phase or restorative practices during the luteal phase—you can optimize performance, support hormonal balance, and reduce fatigue or injury risk.
Pre Natal Fitness
Focuses on safe, tailored exercises to support a healthy pregnancy. It helps improve strength, flexibility, and endurance, reduces common discomforts, boosts energy, and prepares the body for labor and recovery. Programs prioritize safety and adapt to each trimester to meet the unique needs of expecting mothers.
Post Natal Fitness
Focuses on safely restoring strength and functionality after childbirth. It emphasizes core and pelvic floor recovery, improving posture, and gradually rebuilding overall fitness. Tailored exercises support healing, enhance energy, and accommodate the demands of motherhood while promoting long-term health and well-being.
Perimenopausal/Menopausal Fitness
Focuses on supporting women through hormonal changes with tailored exercises. Strength training helps maintain muscle mass and bone density, while cardiovascular and flexibility exercises improve heart health, mobility, and stress management. Programs prioritize managing symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and mood shifts to promote overall well-being.
