Choose 1, 2, or 3 coached sessions per week, plus independent training and recovery built around your goals.
Build strength, conditioning, movement, and recovery around your life. Choose one, two, or three coached sessions each week. Your independent training fills in the rest—with a purpose for every session and accountability for the work.
You don't need a coach beside you for every workout. You need the right amount of hands-on coaching, a clear plan, and the willingness to follow it.
All three options are complete programs. The number describes your coached sessions—not the total amount of training you receive. Coach Hal helps you choose the starting point that fits your experience, schedule, and goals.
Your supplementary work may include independent strength training, easy aerobic conditioning, short intervals, loaded carries, mobility, or walking targets. The mix changes with your goals and how you recover. Every day does not need to be hard.
An example, not a fixed class schedule. Coached days and exercise choices are arranged around the individual.
| Day | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Monday | Coached full-body strength, technique, and focused conditioning. |
| Tuesday | Independent strength or accessory work from your program. |
| Wednesday | Easy aerobic work, mobility, or recovery. |
| Thursday | Coached strength progression, carries, or sled work as appropriate. |
| Friday | Optional programmed conditioning or recovery, based on the week's workload. |
| Saturday | Optional outdoor ruck, walk, or prescribed bodyweight work. |
| Sunday | Rest and prepare for the next week. |
The optional outdoor ruck means walking with a loaded pack. The route, duration, and load fit your current ability. An unloaded walk is a valid starting point. Hills or bodyweight work can be included when they fit your program.
This is optional work you can do on your own—not a standing coached Saturday class. The goal is useful capacity outside the gym, not another mandatory beatdown.
Personal training puts the emphasis on direct coaching during your appointments. The Hybrid Gorilla Method combines coached sessions with a plan for the work you do independently. Both use individualized programming; the difference is how much supervision you want throughout the week.
| What matters | Personal Training | Hybrid Gorilla Method |
|---|---|---|
| Coaching | One-on-one instruction and feedback throughout your booked sessions. | 1, 2, or 3 coached sessions each week, plus independent programmed work. |
| Between sessions | Additional work depends on your agreed coaching plan. | Supplementary training and recovery are built into the weekly plan. |
| Best fit | You want or need direct supervision whenever you train with your coach. | You can train independently and want coaching, structure, and accountability across the week. |
| Starting point | Choose the session frequency and support that suit your needs. | Choose coached frequency; Hal builds the rest of the week around it. |
Want a coach guiding your workout in person? Personal training may fit best. Want hands-on coaching combined with a complete plan to follow independently? Start with Hybrid.
No. Hybrid develops strength and conditioning together. HYROX preparation can be part of your plan, but you do not need to race. Your program is built around your own goals and ability.
Yes, when the independent work matches your current skills. Hal will assess how much direct instruction you need. More coached sessions or one-on-one personal training may be the right starting point.
Your plan is built around the equipment and space available to you. Tell Hal whether you will train at Gorilla Strong, another gym, or at home so the assignments fit.
No. Recovery is part of the program. The sample week shows possible assignments, not seven mandatory workouts. Saturday outdoor work is optional.
Start with a consultation. Hal will recommend the coached frequency, explain current rates and program terms, and build the plan around your goals and schedule.
Tell Coach Hal your goals, training experience, available days, and where you will train. We'll find the right balance of coaching and independent work.
