Workout of the Week

At Wright Training, we try to implement a decent amount of stretching into the daily workouts because stretching is just as important as strength training. Many of us who live in Teton Valley are on the go – we love to play outside in the mountains- that’s why we live here! We hike, bike, run,…

If you feel like you often have tight hamstrings this is for you! Mobility & stretching are amazing and can help with loosening up those chronically tight & stiff areas BUT we cannot forget about strengthening! Especially as we get into ski season, our bodies tend to become a bit more quad dominant. Keeping our…

Whenever we do an exercise that requires heavy use of the lats, I ask members if they are able to voluntarily contract their lats.  The STRONG majority cannot.  The latissimus dorsi is too large of a muscle that it is imperative that we can all utilize our lats when we want.  The same can be…

Workout of the Week by Coach Dr. Rebekah Donley, PT, DPT, CPI Pilates Spinal Warm Up – Over the Summer, Wright Training in Victor successfully added a Mat Pilates portion to the Friday 7am Base Fitness class. Joseph Pilates originally called his work “Contrology.” He considered this to be a body/mind/spirit approach to movement founded…

Maybe you can’t get outside. Try this! Modify as needed but this is designed with uphill mountainous terrain in mind. This is about the mindset as much as the muscular and cardiovascular effort needed to complete the 30 min effort. Go hard and test yourself! Warm Up Appropriately THEN: 3 Rounds 5x Burpee 10x Toy…

With summer upon us, the only thing more important than being able to scale a mountain is looking like you can! This hypertrophy program is designed specifically with one thing in mind, muscle growth. Training within a hypertrophic range, we will utilize rep ranges to squeeze every last rep and maximize the pump. We will…

Strengths and Weaknesses.Why do you come to the gym? Is it to show off how many pushups, pull-ups, and heavy squats you can do? Do you need more flexibility, mobility, agility?  Or wait, you want to lose some weight!, or put some on?  Hopefully your answer is yes to it all!  It feels good to…

This workout is programmed to help you increase your overall strength through barbell specific movements. This will be the format for our barbell class that will be starting up in the near future following Ski/Snowboard Fitness. In the barbell class, we will have a specific warmup for every barbell movement for the day that the…

Life as we know it has changed and exercising from home is becoming more and more common.  A major challenge for those working out from home is lacking adequate weights – many of us live in small spaces and do not have room for equipment, cannot afford weights, or the weights/equipment is backordered from increased…

As we kick off the Ski Fit program, many of you know what to expect…. Leg Blasters!!! The hour is packed with beneficial exercises to get you stronger, build stamina and dynamic stabilization which are all key elements to an epic winter experience.  But what if you added a layer, a recovery/performance layer specifically geared to…

Rock climbers supplement!  This is for those of you who are starting to ramp up your climbing in anticipation for fall sending temps!  Training antagonist muscle groups is important to keep rock climbers balanced and pain free.  This workout incorporates pushing motions, scapula and rotator cuff stabilization, wrist extensions and leg work.  The idea is…

Hey Guys! Cardio and Endurance are my two favorite components to work on. Specifically, I like circuit training because it gives you the most bang for your buck. You can get in alot of cardio, endurance, strength and core training in a short amount of time. This workout is a full body series comprised of…

Since quarantine has began so has a whole new learning of fitness and business models. We are now starting week 4 of bike/run fit and the zoom classes have actually been working! People also have been following the workouts with videos on their own. This workout is a typical strength mix with a work capacity…

Hey hey, Wright Training, happy start of spring to you all.  I’m not sure about the rest of you but I am still hoping to have some big storms come in and be able to get out on some fresh powder with more of this beautiful sunshine and warmer temps.  With all that quad work…

Stamina workouts, especially those longer than 20-30 minutes, can be mentally fatiguing and hard for athletes to stay committed to. In AMRAP cycles, coaches can encourage athletes to complete each round of exercises in the same amount of time to stay at a steady, consistent pace, but this can result in conservative work efforts that…

This week I am going to make a plot twist and turn this into this week’s “Warm Up of the Week”.  Recently, I have adopted a simple warm-up to do before I go out skiing. As we know skiing is not a kind sport to your body… The nature of the sport has a tendency…

Happy fall, everybody! I hope everybody is enjoying ski fit so far, keep chugging on those leg blasters! A couple of members from Wright Training have approached me about doing a sled fit class. Although we haven’t put together a specific progression for a sled fit, the following workout could be used to help you…

Hello team and happy fall! Nothing says fall to me like the start of ski fitness, I hope everyone enjoyed their first week of leg basters. I know when you’re sore it can be hard to motivate to get your body moving, whether that be working out at the gym or taking your dog for…

The Bachelor The goal of this is to encourage people my age to fix their sh*! and re-consider resistance training. I, by no means, am a guru, but have observed a range of people and listened to desires and regrets. So I’m currently 28 and at the season in life when most of the friendships…

I believe strength training during pregnancy is very important. It definitely helped my recovery and labor and helped me prevent injury while pregnant. So many women stray away from resistance/strength training while pregnant but what they don’t know is there are a million exercises that will help keep you toned, prevent the chance of injury…
