HOW WE TRAIN

RUN. LIFT.
FIND YOUR
INTENSITY.

Every session pairs treadmill conditioning with strength work, both built on training principles rather than guesswork. The session is the same for everyone in the room. The intensity is yours.

MODE treadmill running session
WHAT IT IS

Zone-based treadmill conditioning on Technogym Skillruns: five heart-rate zones, from easy aerobic running through threshold work to full max-effort intervals.

WHAT HAPPENS HERE

Zone 2 easy jog to warm up and hold steady state. Zones 3 and 4 for threshold work: a genuinely hard pace, held. Zone 5 for HIIT at max effort. Then parachute sprints for power measured in watts, and sled pushes for raw horizontal strength.

WHY IT WORKS

Zone 4 is a percentage of your capacity, so the same call from the coach means a different speed on every treadmill in the room. Training the full range, rather than living in one middle gear, builds the aerobic base and the top end together. The coach calls the zone. You find the speed that gets you there.

TRAINING AT MODE

THREE WAYS IN.
ONE SYSTEM.

Foundation to learn the zones and the lifts. Signature to find out what you're actually capable of. Interval when you want the work done in half an hour. Same coaches, same principles, whichever one you pick.

Signature training format at MODE

SIGNATURE

The full system, running hot. Two, four, or six rounds of zone-based intervals paired with strength blocks, following the weekly split below. This is where people surprise themselves.

CONNECT TO THE BASICS
Foundation training format at MODE

FOUNDATION

Where you learn what each zone feels like and how the lifts should move. Treadmill intensities and lifting fundamentals scaled to whoever walks in: no experience assumed.

CONNECT TO INTENSITY
Interval training format at MODE

INTERVAL

Thirty minutes, treadmill only. A fast climb through the zones into Zone 5 max effort: the whole session pointed at your top end, for the days you want to empty the tank and get on with it.

MODE Run and Lift Training
SIGNATURE WEEKLY SPLIT

SIGNATURE'S
WEEKLY SPLIT.

MONDAY

LEGS, GLUTES + CORE

Lower-body strength, glute development, and trunk stability to start the week strong.

TUESDAY

BACK, ARMS + POSTURE

Pulling strength, arm work, and postural development through the upper body.

WEDNESDAY

FULL BODY CONDITIONING

Athletic movement, explosive power, coordination, and full-body output.

THURSDAY

GLUTES, CORE + LEG POWER

A second lower-body session focused on strength, resilience, and running support.

FRIDAY

CHEST, SHOULDERS + CORE

Push strength, shoulder stability, and strong trunk work to finish the week with intent.

SATURDAY

FULL BODY STRENGTH

Strength across the whole body with compound lifts and complete-body training.

SUNDAY

FULL BODY, UNILATERAL FOCUS

Unilateral strength work across the whole body to finish clean and walk into Monday ready, not wrecked.

Expect variation, not randomness. Every week runs the same logic: heavy strength early, conditioning mid-week, unilateral work to close so each muscle group gets trained twice without ever stacking fatigue on itself two days running.

MEMBERSHIPS + PACKS

BECOME A
REGULAR.

Membership if you want this to be part of your week. A pack if you'd rather start light and see how it feels. Both get you the same coaching and the same room. Membership just means the room starts expecting you.

MEMBERSHIPS

No minimum term. If you need to cancel, we simply ask for 2 weeks notice. Pause options available.
