CONDITION THE BODY FOR OPTIMAL FITNESS
How you train in the gym and or outside the gym must translate to the needs of your personal goals and objectives and meet the demands of your sport and profession.
​
Physical training is a tool to stress the body AND mind for growth and adaptation. Your key to long-term progress is consistency. The purpose of Optimal Readiness is to safely and effectively condition the mind and body for durability, functionality, and ultimately longevity through objective-based programming utilizing minimal equipment.
SHARPEN THE MIND FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE
We employ the same concepts, tools, mental skills, and performance-enhancement strategies leveraged by elite warfighters, Olympic athletes, and top performers in every profession to increase readiness and performance.
Utilizing objective-based programming through consistent effort yields results. In this same way, learning how to effectively employ mental skills and their disciplined application strengthens the mind and drives performance.
STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRIT FOR OPTIMAL READINESS
The foundation for your mental and physical readiness is rooted in a belief system and cause greater than self.
​
What is the substance behind your reason for the journey of becoming the best version of yourself? What are your values? What is your belief system? Who do you put your faith in? Who are you and who do you want to be? Your answer to these questions helps to strengthen your resolve and establish the framework for peak readiness.

"The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD." Proverbs 21:31
​
Optimal Readiness isn't just for those who put their trust and faith in Christ Jesus. However, if you are a fellow brother or sister in the LORD, we would deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with you.
