Strong-Con -Febuary 2026

Posted 1st February 2026 by Geoff Stewart

Strong-Con Program – February 2026

A few timetable changes mean even more Strong-Con classes added to an already busy schedule.

Strong-Con is going from strength to strength, and you guys are getting stronger and fitter. Strong-Con cuts that middle ground between Barbell Club and MetCon—shifting some tin, focusing on quality movement, and working the whole body.

Strong-Con was designed as a hybrid class, combining:

  • Our much-loved Momentum MetCon format
  • Key elements of CrossFit
  • Years of experience across different training styles and modalities

Now, a reminder — this isn’t just another MetCon class. This is Strong-Con. That means lifting heavy, squeezing out every rep, applying progressive overload, having fun, and watching the results roll in.

This Month’s Program

We’re sticking with the effective and well-loved 5×5. We’ve chosen it for its simplicity, effectiveness, and focus on mastering the fundamental lifts.

Each lift will be followed by a machine blast to get the heart rate up. There will be rest — just enough to recover, maintain intensity, and go again.

Sessions will be split between:

  • Chipper-style days
  • Interval-style days

Each block will run for two weeks, switching halfway through the program. This gives you a solid chunk of each style and plenty of time to really dig deep.

Program Blocks

  • Block 1: 2nd Feb – 15th Feb
  • Block 2: 16th Feb – 1st March

Building strong, fit humans since 2013.
