01 — The Programs

Nine ways to train. 

Nine coach-led programs running out of one facility on Newport Rd. Strength, conditioning, competition, and recovery — all of it written by coaches, all of it scaled to you.

Group A — Build the base

The foundation

The Method

Functional Fitness

01
Beginner

The foundation of training at DEFY. Combines strength training, conditioning, and skill development to build well-rounded fitness. Every class runs a warm-up, a strength or skill block, and a conditioning workout.

  • Warm-up, strength / skill work, conditioning
  • Best first program if you're new to DEFY
  • Scaled for every ability in the room

The Engine

HYROX / Conditioning

02
Intermediate

Build stamina and work capacity. Endurance, conditioning, and functional strength using running, sled work, and high-output movements — the exact demands of a HYROX floor.

  • Running, sled push and pull, high-output intervals
  • Race-specific prep for HYROX athletes
  • Also the fastest way to build a base engine

DEFY CrossFit

Strength / Gymnastics / Conditioning

08
Intermediate

Combines strength training, gymnastics, and conditioning to develop well-rounded fitness and athletic performance. Movements are scaled for a full range of abilities, so the class works whether it's your first month or your fifth year.

  • Barbell, gymnastics, and metabolic conditioning
  • Every movement has a scaled version
  • Runs every day of the week

Group B — Get strong

The strength track

The Pump

Strength / Bodybuilding

03
Intermediate

Build muscle and develop strength through progressive strength training and hypertrophy — controlled lifting, accessory work, and targeted muscle development.

  • Controlled tempo and accessory volume
  • Body-part focus across the week
  • Pairs well with The Method

The Rack

Powerlifting

04
Advanced

Focused strength development centered on the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Structured programming designed to improve technique, build strength, and increase their total.

  • Squat, bench press, deadlift
  • Structured cycles with tracked numbers
  • Technique coached rep by rep

The Dez

Olympic Lifting

09
Advanced

Focused on technique, strength, and barbell mastery. Led by Coach Cory, developing proper technique in the snatch, clean, and jerk.

  • Snatch, clean, and jerk
  • Led by Coach Cory
  • Start with an empty bar — that's normal

The Peach

Lower Body

06
Intermediate

Lower body strength and development. Focused on glutes, hamstrings, and lower body strength through targeted exercises and progressive programming.

  • Glute and hamstring development
  • Progressive week-over-week loading
  • Sundays on the schedule as Glute Lab

Group C — Sharpen and restore

The edges

The Arena — competition training

05 — Competition Class

The Arena

Train like a competitive athlete. Advanced skill work, heavier lifts, and high-intensity workouts that mimic competitive environments — the pressure, the pacing, and the decision-making of a real floor.

  • Advanced gymnastics and skill progressions
  • Heavier loading with competition standards
  • Sessions built to replicate event pacing
  • Saturdays on the schedule as Competition
The Reset — mobility and recovery

07 — Stretching for Strength

The Reset

Move better. Recover faster. A dedicated program addressing flexibility, joint health, and movement quality — the work that keeps the rest of your training available to you.

  • Flexibility and range-of-motion work
  • Joint health and positional strength
  • Movement quality that carries into every other class
  • Sundays on the schedule as Stretching

Getting started

Three stepsto your firstclass.

You don't need to be fit to start. You don't need experience with a barbell. You need an hour and a willingness to be coached.

Step 01

A no-pressure sit-down with a coach. We talk about where you are, what you want, and which program fits.

Step 03

Coaching in every class, workouts scaled to your ability, and a room of people who notice when you're not there.

Show up. Get better.
