I used to do structured splits built around single-use machines, focusing on upper body one day, lower body the next, etc. Now, Suspension Training lets me consolidate my sessions into fewer, more integrated workouts - upper, lower, and core all happening at once. Each workout uses angles, gravity, and instability to scale intensity without needing to add weight.

My favorite move is the TRX Atomic Push-Up: upper-body pressing, anterior core engagement, hip flexion, and shoulder stability all working together. It’s a single movement that tells you a lot about how well the body is functioning as a system.

All of my habits are evidence-driven. I rely on a mix of cold exposure and heat, mobility work, and regular soft-tissue recovery. I also use light-based recovery methods when needed and prioritize sleep above everything else. Nutritionally, I focus on adequate protein, proper hydration with electrolytes, and a few well-supported supplements like creatine. Nothing flashy - just consistent habits that support recovery, resilience, and long-term performance.

Functional strength training is here to stay. In 2026, I foresee gyms leaning into smart, versatile functional training spaces. Industry trends already point toward movement-based zones that train the body as a system—pushing, pulling, hinging, rotating—rather than isolating muscles. Tools like the Suspension Trainer will continue to grow in popularity because they’re adaptable, space-efficient, and effective across fitness levels. Overall, the future gym will be simpler, more versatile, and more aligned with how the body actually moves.
