FAQ

 

Is every day the same?

No, each day of the week has a different focus, and weeks progress over 7-9 week cycles. A coach can fill you in on the current cycle when you drop in, just ask!

Here’s an example weekly schedule (please note there’s a lot more in each class than the focus movement):

  • Monday: Squats / Dynamic Movement

  • Tuesday: Pressing / Pull-ups

  • Wednesday: Alternating Barbell Conditioning and Strongman

  • Thursday: Chest / Pushing / Sprinting

  • Friday: Deadlifts / Posterior Chain

  • Saturday: Strongman / Strongwoman (open to all)

  • Sunday: Conditioning focus

Is it OK that I don’t know very much about strength training?

Absolutely. The most important prerequisite is a desire to work hard and a willingness to learn and be coached. We pride ourselves on helping those new to fitness get their feet underneath them. Coaches are trained to assess your movement patterns and are ready to scale any part of the workout to meet you where you’re at.

We also have personal training available if you’d like a more 1:1 intro.

What style of gym is TCS?

TCS focuses on:

  • Keeping clients ready for the physical demands of life

  • Diversity of movements (there are at least 100 different ways to work a “squat”)

  • Accessibility and scaleability of movements

  • Conditioning for both short bouts of high-intensity work and longer duration moderate-intensity grinding

Why no A/C?

Heat adaptation is real, and helpful for tackling everyday life in TX. There are many benefits to challenging workouts, one of which that we embrace: growth through (appropriate) discomfort.

Do you have childcare? Can I bring my kids?

While we don’t have supervised childcare, many patrons will have their kids hang out in the lobby and use a screen or read a book for the hour they are working out. While there’s no official daycare option, for well-behaved kids hanging in the lobby works well. Please bring headphones.
