Define muscle building and body composition training at Move Strong in Kitchener-Waterloo

What you'll work toward

Build lean muscle

Science-backed muscle-building programming — real training grounded in the literature, not just tired and sweaty.

Change body composition

Metabolic resistance training with the pacing and intensity that drives real body composition change.

Increased strength and bone density

Progressive loading that builds strength and bone density alongside muscle.

Who it's for

Define is for people who want to prioritize muscle building and changes in body composition. If weight loss, building muscle, or changing how your body looks and performs is the priority, this is the program.

  • Muscle building priority
  • Body composition change
  • Ready for higher training volume

This program is not for someone looking to just get tired and sweaty. Define is for the individual looking for real results based on real training that is effective and grounded in science.

Why it works

Everything in Define is based on the science and literature of muscle building and body composition change. If weight loss is your goal, you must address the nutrition component — it's very rare to see meaningful weight loss without nutritional changes. And if you're in a weight loss phase, strength training is critical to prevent muscle loss.

What a session looks like

Define uses a metabolic resistance training style — less time between sets and a slightly faster pace than Foundations or Signature, because the focus is muscle building and body composition. The exact structure varies by training phase, but expect a purposeful, efficient session from start to finish.

Most members thrive on two to four sessions per week depending on goals and recovery. We help you choose a sustainable rhythm in your consult.
Can I try a class before committing?
Your no-sweat consultation is the best first step — we’ll match you to the right track and explain how to get started.
