OLYMPIA PROGRAMMING

The Ancient Greeks were some of the original athletes to admired "whole fitness," where every aspect of your body and athleticism was well-rounded and trained. This is at the heart of what we aim to accomplish with our Olympia programming.
‍
JONO Olympia is a high-intensity fitness program, focusing on core strength and conditioning in two distinct senses:
‍
1st: We focus on core strength and conditioning because this form of fitness is foundational to all other athletic needs. Similar to how a university calls their required courses “core curriculum," this is the stuff that everyone needs.
‍
2nd: We focus on “core” strength and conditioning in te literal sense, meaning the center of something. All movements we incorporate build the centre of the body - improving strength, balance, and whole fitness.

Much of our work focuses on the major functional axis of the human body, the extension and flexion, of the hips and extension, flexion, and rotation of the torso or trunk. The primacy of core strength and conditioning in this sense is supported by the simple observation that powerful hip extension alone is necessary and nearly sufficient for elite athletic performance. That is, our experience has been that no one without the capacity for powerful hip extension enjoys great athletic prowess and nearly everyone we’ve met with that capacity was a great athlete. Running, jumping, punching and throwing all originate at the core.

At JONO Athletics we endeavour to develop our athletes from the inside out, from core to extremity, which is by the way how good functional movements recruit muscle, from the core to the extremities.
