As part of the comprehensive lineup of world-class programming options on PushPress Train, we’re excited to announce the addition of Training Think Tank (TTT).
Based in Alpharetta Georgia, TTT might best be known for its team of world-renowned coaches and elite CrossFit Games athletes. Noah Ohlsen, Alexis Raptis, Jake Berman, Anikha Greer and Lauren Fisher are all part of the TTT lineup.
But that’s only one side of the story. TTT also offers affiliate programming designed for everyday athletes in gyms around the world.
We recently sat down with Coach Mike McGoldrick to talk about the launch of TTT Affiliate programming options on PushPress Train.
Reasons to Outsource Gym Programming.
McGoldrick began by saying that more and more gym owners are realizing there are several reasons to outsource programming. From saving time to combatting gym owner burnout, it can be a game-changer. And he’s excited for the ease of rolling it out on PushPress Train.
“It’s just growing in demand,” he said. “Part of running a successful and good affiliate program for gyms is making sure the programming has got to be great. But I want to take care of the things that make your job easier, too.”
He recognized that at first, some gym owners are hesitant to trust their programming with someone else.
“It’s not easy running a gym,” he said. “It’s a lot of work. And I think if you’re starting to feel burnt out, and you’re losing passion in writing the programming yourself, and you feel like you’re kind of getting stuck in your own mundane processes, this can be a fresh perspective. And it can allow you to have this professional structure so you can take it to your coaches.”
For gym owners who have already switched to TTT Affiliate programming, the feedback has been positive. McGoldrick said it brings a “refreshed and rejuvenated sense of accomplishment.” Not only for gym owners, but to coaches and clients as well.
“The members will see the coaches are enthusiastic about the new programming,” he said. “It just comes from the top down.”
A Track for Every Level.
We asked McGoldrick to outline the options gym owners get from TTT Affiliate programming on PushPress Train. He explained that from a big picture perspective, there are two paths: Compete and Fitness.
First, according to the TTT website, the Compete path is catered to a more competitive gym environment. It includes high-skill gymnastics progressions and Olympic lifts. MetCons are catered to those who want to perform well in the CrossFit Open at an amateur level. It will include workouts with various types of machines, rope climbs, GHD sit-ups and other things traditionally seen in CrossFit qualifiers and competitions.
Second, the Fitness path is designed for an environment where high skill/competitive movements and intensity are not the priority. There will still be challenges & skill progressions, but less aggressive in nature. These workouts will also include plenty of options for gyms with limited space or equipment.
McGoldrick explained that the Fitness path has “more of a longevity focus.”
