What makes personal training at JFP Athletics different
No open gym, no class room, no training without someone watching your technique. At the Squat School Basel you train with full supervision – squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls, free weights and selected machines. Weights, reps and progress are tracked so you can see that your training works.
The foundation is the JFP belt system: seven levels borrowed from martial arts and applied to strength training. You start with the basics – structural balance – and build up step by step instead of following trends.
