OUR PHILOSOPHY
You need the right program and the right people in your corner to guarantee results that last, and Pharos was built to get the best out of you. Through our smart programming that prioritizes Mechanics, Strength + Conditioning, our kick-ass coaching that feels like personal training in a fun group environment, and our beautifully curated space + equipment, we've cracked the code on enjoying a high performance life without dogma or restriction.
STRENGTH
Strength training is not just for the meatheads. Lifting weights increases your metabolism which burns fat faster than cardio alone. Our programs will help you establish a fundamental base of muscle, longterm joint health and a roaring metabolism that will help you get (and keep) the results you’re after.
Gains Guaranteed.
CONDITIONING
Whether your goal is fat loss, high-level fitness or longterm heart health, we have you covered. Expect to sweat, breathe and get in the best shape of your life with interval weight training, sports specific conditioning, and endurance and sprint drills.
MECHANICS
Train to avoid pain with our low impact programs built to assess, address and repair your unique mobility needs. Expect intrinsic core activation, breathwork, mobility drills, soft tissue work + restorative stretching so you can stop injury before it starts and maximize your limitless potential.
This is the perfect playground for active adults
