The Hystrength (sm) Fitness Certification Program

Learn how to get unbelievable results for your fitness clients with only two weekly workouts

The Hystrength (sm) certification program is the culmination of my (Gregg Hoffman) of my thirty years in the fitness industry. I have learned what does work, what does not work, and what is essential to have in a productive fitness regimen. Surprisingly, it takes very little exercise to achieve a high level of fitness, both for regular life and for sport performance. The key is to know the physiological responses to exercise, and how to manipulate them for optimal gains in short order.

Here are some of the exercise concepts you will learn in this course:

The value of strength training

A clear definition of functional exercise, and how to incorporate into your routine

The need for stability exercise

Proper core training

How one set can be just as effective as multiple sets for building strength

The three types of muscular contractions

The difference between fast twitch and slow twitch fibers

The size order recruitment principle

The all or none principle

Inroading: The key to muscular growth

Mastery of the repetition

Momentary muscular failure

Technical limit

Proper progression and overloading

The best rep range to employ

The best way to breathe during the set

The muscles of the core

Program design and exercise selection

The shortfalls of "chronic cardio" training

The positive benefits of anaerobic exercise

Putting it all together

Once you finished this course, you will have a solid understanding of the Hystrength (sm) principles that you could implement into your personal exercise program and for the clients you train.

You will be able to produce much better physical results toward any goal your client has, all the time reducing the total volume of exercise needed. These are very desirable selling points for getting and maintaining clients.

Gregg Hoffman
Gregg Hoffman
Gregg has a long career in the fitness industry. He simply started by enthusiastically prodding his friends and co-workers to workout with him over 25 years ago. The reason for his passion? He learned that there was so much more to exercise...in how little we needed for health. Like many young bodybuilding aspirants, he would devote several hours a week to the gym in the quest for muscle. One day he stumbled on a book called Super High Intensity Bodybuilding written by Dr. Ellington Darden. Dr. Darden espoused a different approach. Instead of committing several hours a week to a routine as per the mainstream way of training, he strongly advocated only three 45 minute workouts a week. The catch was that one would have to put more focus and intensity on every set one would do, but if performed properly, the trainee could see strength gains better than he would see with a higher volume approach. Upon applying the principles Dr. Darden wrote about, Gregg did get much stronger. Thus, his passion for fitness grew. In his ever expanding quest for knowledge, he studied other fitness disciplines and ultimately designed his own program that he calls HYSTRENGTH(sm).

In pursuit of knowledge, he earned certifications from:
  • Sasha and Company
  • American Council on Exercise
  • C.H.E.K. institute
    • Scientific Core Training
    • Scientific Back Training
While building on his knowledge, he owned and operated two personal training studios called Bodies by Hoffman. He hired and trained other trainers in the HYSTRENGTH(sm) method, whereby he created the HYSTRENGTH(sm) certification program. He has, during this time, also set up an intern program with both Heritage College and Emily Griffith Opportunity school to better prepare those students for the real world.

At present, he is co-owner of Urban Pump llc. which is a private personal training studio located close to downtown Denver. All told, Gregg has logged over 45,000 hours training people who want to get in shape.

Gregg also has written many articles and has an ongoing blog about fitness and health. He is considered an expert author on the subject by E-Zine articles, and has writing awards by Hub pages.

Gregg wrote two books on the topic of health and fitness: Proven Strategies for Cellulite Loss, and Lose the Menopot. Both books are available through Amazon, and he has other book projects in the works.

Among many of Gregg' achievements, he was voted one of the top 100 trainers in America in the December 2004 edition of Men's Journal Magazine. His studio, Urban Pump llc. was also voted 14th place out of 85 entrants to the A-list of Colorado.
