Your First Training Block

What the first 4 weeks actually look like

Week 1

Assessment

Movement screen, goal-setting, and a review of any injury history before a single rep is programmed.

Weeks 2-3

Foundation

Baseline program focused on movement quality and building the work capacity your goals actually require.

Week 4

Load & Adjust

Intensity increases as your coach fine-tunes the program based on how your first three weeks actually went.

Week 5+

Next Block

A new 4-week block is written based on your progress — the program keeps evolving instead of repeating.

Your Coach

Marcus Ellery, CSCS

Marcus has coached in Summerville since 2016, working with everyone from first-time gym-goers to competitive powerlifters. He believes most people don't fail at fitness because they lack discipline — they fail because nobody ever wrote them a real plan.

Every client starts with the same movement assessment, whether it's your first workout in years or your hundredth block with Anchor.
