    Which Program is Right For You?

    Brute offers a variety of CrossFit training programs, including individualized 1-1 programming, in order to help you achieve your fitness goals in a way that best suits you and your strengths, weaknesses, and schedule. Below is a list of what Brute has to offer, along with sample days from each training program. These samples you can find on Fitr. If you would like additional information about any of the programs that we have to offer, please feel free to email us at info@brutestrengthtraining.com

    Brute Body by Streat- $49

    If you want to transform your body, you have come to the right place. This program is designed to help you feel good, look good, and perform pretty damn well inside and outside of the gym. This program is meant to help you in all aspects of life; whether it be lifting some heavy weights, crushing a CrossFit Metcon, or even running a half marathon. 

    This training program is meant to be one that you commit to for 5-6 days a week in order to see the incredible results that we know you are looking for and are capable of. 

    This program is not a traditional CrossFit training program. Instead, Brute Body, programmed by 2x CrossFit Games Athlete and personal trainer Streat Hoerner, has structured upper and lower body days. These intentionally designed training days include strength, accessory, metcons, core strength, and occasional days with extra work if you find yourself with some extra time and motivation. 

    We recommend completing the training in its totality (including the extra work when you are able) which takes about 90 minutes or less. If you are looking to focus more on strength gains, we recommend skipping the metcons and hitting the strength and extra work at full force. If you go down that route, training will take about 60 minutes or less. 

    Brute Athlete- $49

    This CrossFit training program follows along with the CrossFit competitive season and is designed to focus on specific weights, barbell movements, gymnastic skills, and aerobic work that are often found in the Open and Quarterfinals. The goal of this program is to dramatically improve your ranking on the Quarterfinals leaderboard. 

    What makes our programming different: 

    In order to make our Brute Athlete programming as successful as possible, we take our athlete centered programming principles used in our 1on1 remote coaching and apply them to our templated programs like this one. Based on your communication, logged worked results and data, videos, and monthly training questionnaires we are able to tailor the program in a way that best serves our athletes. The more information the Brute Athlete community gives us, the more specific the programming becomes. 

    Who it’s for:

    This training program is for athletes that would consider themselves a Quarterfinals athlete or who enjoy competing in local and regional competitions as individuals or on a team. If you are looking to increase your leaderboard placing in the CrossFit Quarterfinals or improve your fitness. 

    Brute Athlete 16-49- $49

    This program follows along with the CrossFit competitive season and it’s designed to focus on specific barbell movements, gymnastics skills and aerobic work found in the age group quarterfinals and age group semifinals. The goal of this program is to dramatically improve your ranking in the quarterfinal and semifinal leaderboards. This program methodology is what helped Brute Teens and Brute Masters make it all the way to the CrossFit Games.

    Brute Pro- $98

    This program follows along with the CrossFit competitive season and is designed to focus on the specific weights, barbell movements, gymnastics skills and aerobic work found in the CrossFit Semifinals. The goal of this program is to help you qualify for a CrossFit Semifinal and/or help you be more competitive on the Semifinal stage.

    What makes our programing different:

    We use the same athlete centered programming principles used in our 1on1 remote coaching and apply them to our template programs. Based on your communication, logged workout results, videos, and quarterly training questionnaires we are able to tailor the program. The more information the Brute Pro community gives us the more specific the programming becomes. 

    Who it’s for:

    This program is for those that want to someday compete at a CrossFit Semifinal; compete at a high level competition in the Rx or Elite field or you are already a Semifinal athlete as an individual or on a team.

    Timing:

    You will have 2 sessions per day, 5 days a week. You must be willing to commit 5-hours a day to training. This is not a matter of “I would like to train like a semifinal athlete.” You must have the time to train.  

    Equipment Requirements:

    All equipment included at a CrossFit Semifinal (see games.crossfit.com semifinal workouts).

  • Why a Teen Program?

    We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel or even trying to make “fetch” happen, but we did make a program tailored to teens.

    Why? Well, sorry for the high school gym class spiel, but teens’ bodies are growing and maturing every day, and their training should take that into consideration.  

    So, Brute did a Brute thing and created a program just for the 18 and under.

    Our specialty coaches did their homework for the past 20+ years and created a program that’ll get teens trained for a future of crushing competitions.

    Get ready for the next generation of Brute badasses.

  • Track Day with Chris Hinshaw

    Check out Chris Hinshaw, Head Endurance Coach at Brute and a few Brute elite athletes as they crush track day with a 12,000-meter run just weeks before the CrossFit Games.

    “If you wanna know what it takes to be a champion — you get going too fast and you just can’t slow down,” says Coach Chris.

    Chris explains the strategic workout he gave the athletes and why it is so important to challenge them to an extent. If the workout doesn’t feel right to them and they need to stop, he never pushes them over the limit. “These are elite athletes; you can’t fake them out. They know what’s hard and what’s not,” he says.
