During Training Camp, we offer three types of conditioning (Conditioning 101, Conditioning RX and Conditioning +). They are designed to be challenging for all skill levels and to help those out at different parts of their fitness Journey. All can be completed side by side during the same class – no special sign-up is needed for any level!
We have these options to allow all skill levels to participate together. It gives those who are just starting out the ability to be included (and avoid injury), those who are continuing their journey to get their ass-kicked (most days) and those who are ready for a real challenge the ability to attempt to complete the advanced workout.
We cater to all walks of life here at Burr Strength – it does not matter who you are, where you came from or any limitation you come with – we have something ready for you. That is a core principal of our gym.
Conditioning 101
This conditioning version has
– Standard movements to build a solid base.
– Lower weights and reps then RX to avoid being stuck on an exercise.
– Modifications on the spot due to injury, limitations, skill or strength.
The version of conditioning for those who are just starting out from ground zero or simply need a recovery day. These movements are standard and easy to learn with little skill involved! We still hit all of the planes here, we just do not include speed/agility type work. The work load is also decreased (Ie. 20 pullups to 5) in order to keep you moving and not stuck on one movement for too long!
Our goal here is to build a solid base quickly so we can let you start to participate in the RX Workouts! Without a solid base, we cannot teach you the more advanced movements you would like to do!
All the movements can be modified as well! Just because something is prescribed doesn’t mean we can’t modify a little!

MB SlamsThen perform 10 kb swings every minute from the time you finish until the timer goes off.
Conditioning RX
This conditioning version has
– Some advanced movements and standard movements.
– No weight suggestions, but we will def help you pick one good for you! – don’t pick to light (:
– Modifications on the spot due to injury, limitations, skill or strength.
The gold standard for the gym – most members will be completing this version. It is full of both challenging and standard movements that that we use. Occasionally High Skill movements are included to challenge members! We move in all planes in this type – it is safe and very athletic. Completing these workouts properly will boost your conditioning, strength and endurance while setting you up to complete the occasional +1 Version!
All the movements can be modified as well! Just because something is prescribed doesn’t mean we can’t modify a little! (I.e, in the workout below, if you can’t jump, we would do step ups instead).
Example Workout
18m Time Limit
21/15/9, each round followed by a 100m suitcase carry
Box Jumps
Hand Release Pushups
MB SlamsThen find a 3RM of a Double KB Clean and Push Press with remaining time.
Conditioning +
This conditioning version has a
– Slight skill modifier
– Prescribed minimum weights,
– inability to modify (unless you have a limitation or injury – not strength or skill related).
It is almost an exact copy of the RX version minus the added difficulty levels. This workout version is designed to help those who are advanced have a serious challenge and give those who are doing RX some goals to set! Those who attend the skill sessions as well as push themselves hard during the RX versions will be able to do these workouts right away or in the near future.
None of the movements can be modified, unless you have an injury or limitation (I.e. Alt Pistols Squats with a sprained ankle, you would simply crush your good leg).
Example Workout
18m Time Limit
21/15/9, each round followed by a 100m suitcase carry
Box Jumps (24/18)
Hand Release Pushups
MB Slams (40/30)Then find a 3RM of a Double KB Clean and Push Press with remaining time. Between attempts complete 30 Double Unders.
