Why Train With OMNIA?
For over five years, we've been proving that you don't have to choose between being strong or being fit. While others tell you to pick one path, we've been helping athletes like you excel in both. You've probably been told you can't build serious strength while improving your running - we're here to show you not only that you can, but that combining both makes you a more complete, robust, and capable athlete. So if you want to become the kind of athlete who can crush a heavy lifting session and then go run a personal best, you're in the right place and we have the plan for you.
To get the most out of this program, you should:
- Be comfortable with free weights and compound movements
- Be able to run for 90 minutes continuously at a low intensity (Zone 2)
- Have access to a barbell and basic gym equipment
- Be ready to commit to 7-8 sessions and 6-11 hours per week
