Q.) Is the workout really only 20 minutes long?
Yes! A lot of exercises seem to think that “More is better” but Strength Studio Idaho believes “Less is better.” Our personal trainers will fit you to each machine and then coach you through them, achieving a point of “impossible repetition” for each one. With only a couple minutes at each machine you can achieve great results and it only takes 20 minutes!
Q.) How long will it take to see results?
Individual results vary from person to person. Even after one workout, your body will start changing for the better. Many clients have reported feeling the full effects of high-intensity, slow-motion strength training in as little as 2-3 weeks. With consistent training, you will begin feeling much stronger, with less fatigue, aches, and pain. After 8-12 weeks, most people report physical, aesthetic changes in their body.

Q.) Is Strength Studio of Idaho safe for older adults?
Yes. In fact, super slow strength training is often doctor recommended for older adults who need to add an exercise regime to their lifestyle. This is because slow-motion strength training won’t exacerbate any pre-existing medical conditions. Additionally, as we age, we tend to lose muscle which can lead to unexpected injuries due to falls and loss of bone density. The key to preventing this from happening is to keep your body healthy and strong by engaging in a safe, yet intense exercise program like high-intensity, slow-motion strength training.
Q.) Will slow-motion strength training improve my bone density?
Yes. Slow-motion strength training was originally developed by Ken Hutchins based on numerous studies of people suffering from osteoporosis and other medical conditions. As you build muscle, you will directly increase bone density by putting stress on your bones, making them stronger, healthier, and less prone to breaks or fractures. As you gain muscle mass, this will also serve to protect your bones, guarding them against unexpected injury and cushioning the blow in case you fall.
