Frequently Asked Questions

For AC In Your Corner, at a minimum, three sets of dumbbells (a light, medium, and heavy set) are required to complete each workout. However, our programs are designed to implement the use of barbells, dumbbells, weight plates, kettlebells, and occasionally the use of resistance bands, but do not let this be the reason you do not start your strength training journey. We all need to start somewhere. All of our AC In Your Corner programs will have an advanced, intermediate, and beginner level of each exercise, allowing for flexibility of the workouts to be performed in a space that is convenient for you, with the equipment you have. Fundamentals by Athletes Corner can be performed with just a resistance band, and two sets of dumbbells (light ~2.5-5 lbs and medium weight ~ 5-10 lbs).

Strength training requires “progressive overload” to seek results, meaning that we need to stress our musculoskeletal system with progressively heavier weights over time to actually gain strength. Therefore, all of our AC In Your Corner workouts can be performed in a gym or at home, but they do require a minimum of three sets of dumbbells (a light, medium, and heavy set). All programs will have an advanced, intermediate, and beginner level of each exercise, allowing for flexibility of the workouts to be performed in a space that is convenient for you.

If you do not have a barbell, no problem at all. Strength training does not require a barbell. While most of our exercise programs will contain barbell exercises, we will always offer modifications of the exercise that include another form of weight (ex: dumbbells, kettlebells or even a resistance band). Do not be deterred from the workouts due to not having access to a barbell or not being comfortable using a barbell, we have you covered!

AC In Your Corner workouts will be around 45-60 minutes long. Expect it to be slightly longer if you are using advanced equipment in a gym setting (to allow for setup time), on the contrary, if using minimal equipment at home, the workouts may fall slightly shorter than 45 minutes. Fundamentals by Athletes Corner workouts range from 30-45 minutes, depending on the workout, and can be performed entirely at home with minimal equipment. AC 1-on-1 workouts are entirely individualized and are created based on your goals and availability; therefore, there is no time requirement or constraint to these workouts.

To enter into AC In Your Corner (our subscription-based monthly program), it is helpful to be familiar with the general movement patterns and have some experience in a workout setting, but strength training experience is not required. All of our AC In Your Corner programs will have an advanced, intermediate, and beginner level of each exercise, so it is easy to start with the beginner level! To learn the movement patterns more in depth, we have created a free e-book to help you get started.
