About the program

Before jumping into a workout program, it's essential to understand where your fitness stands today. The Basics helps you assess your movement patterns and strength levels. It highlights what feels solid and what needs work — giving you a clear picture of your current baseline. Take note of both strengths and weaknesses, and use that feedback to guide how you train and what weights to start with. If something feels off — like struggling to balance during a side lunge — use only your bodyweight and focus on form until you feel stable and confident. On the flip side, if you’re crushing pushups, that’s a cue to challenge yourself with heavier weights during chest presses. What you focus on should align with your goals. If side lunges aren’t a priority because your goal is to complete your first pull-up— that’s totally fine! Let’s zone in on the training that gets you there. If you're unsure what to prioritize, I encourage you to reach out! I’m happy to help guide you toward the areas that best support your goals. Regardless of your goal, this program is an excellent place to start. Now, let's get to work and master the basics!

    About Annie Chavez

    NYC Personal Trainer

    Movement is life — it’s how I grow, how I play, and how I feel most alive. I believe we are all born strong. Fitness isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about uncovering the power that’s already inside you. My job is to help you uncover it. I train with purpose — assessing where you are today, prescribing a plan that aligns with your goals, and guiding you every step of the way. I motivate you, challenge you, and hold you accountable until you get the results you came for. My favorite training styles include power, functional strength, HIIT, conditioning, and plyometrics. I believe in training to failure — because that’s where real growth happens, inside and out. I’m results-driven, and I take pride in seeing strength and confidence build — in myself, and in my clients. I’m a NYC girl — running on concrete and coffee. I’ve played almost every sport: dance, soccer, basketball, track, boxing — and now I’m deep into marathons. You’ll find me running through Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens or lifting heavy in the gym. I’m ultra-competitive, wildly energetic, and, yes, totally goofy!! This isn’t just a workout. It’s your breakthrough. Let’s uncover it.

    How often should I do the workouts?
    2–4x per week is ideal, depending on your current activity level. Include at least one rest or active recovery day in your week. An ideal week would be: 2x The Basics 1x High-Intensity training that includes a bout of Sprint Interval Training 1x Low-Intensity Steady-State (LISS) Cardio 1x Active recovery day of your choosing, like a mobility day 1x Recovery rest day
    What if I miss a workout?
    No problem. Just pick up where you left off. Progress is about consistency, not perfection.
    Can I do this program alongside other training?
    If you’re doing intense cardio or lifting elsewhere, this might serve best as a recovery or movement-focused day. Listen to your body and adjust accordingly.

    Are there warm-ups or cooldowns included?
    No — each workout jumps right into the workout. Warm-up and cooldown videos coming soon.
    What if I feel pain during a movement?
    Stop immediately. Pain is not the same as effort. Try a regression or skip the movement until you consult with a fitness professional. Please reach out to me for advice.

    It depends. Always consult your doctor or physical therapist before starting if you're recovering from injury, surgery, or a recent birth.
