Start-to-Finish Guided Training
The Samsara Bodyweight Program is designed to transform the way your body moves.
Build a Strong Back
A weak back is a hurt back. Develop strength in your posterior chain to withstand the stresses that cause constant flare ups.
Use the Force
We use simple time/rest protocols that ensure that you are squeezing with everything you have—and moving the max strength needle. If you are sweating through strength, it’s not Samsara.
Supplement other workouts
Use the Bodyweight Program to improve your strength and stability - which will enhance your performance in everything else you do.
Improve your Athleticism
Athletic movement relies on a strong system of core muscles to transfer force from hands to feet - we refer to this as ‘core stiffness’ and we believe it is an essential characteristic of elite performance.
Get Stable
Strength is essential, but it’s not enough. Athleticism relies on the ability to harness strength to create stability in off axis positions. The Bodyweight Program will help you transform your stability and improve your athleticism.
Train with confidence
This whole program is designed to be used anywhere and with little/no equipment. We walk you through each move, we time every rest and give your variations to keep you progressing.

FAQ
Answers to our most common questions.
What level is right for me?
When in doubt, start with Level 1. It forms the foundation of the higher-level progressions, so it will help your practice to have the baseline movements dialed in.
How will I know I’m ready for the next level?
When you can complete all of the movements within the rest/work time in the workout, you are ready to step it up. We recommend using a small prop on your lumbar spine to test for stability in the Plank Progression. This ensures that you are creating adequate stability to maintain posture in each position.
I know the full package is the better deal, but will I really be able to do all 4 Levels?
For most athletes the Complete Program will give them a lifelong path to progress. During different phases of your training you will always have the right level available—from rehab to high performance.
How is Samsara different from programs like Crossfit?
It’s completely different. We prioritize absolute strength. If you want to get stronger, you have to do harder things, not easy things more times. We are not aware of any other bodyweight programs that aim to develop maximum strength. We also seek to develop the kind of strength that is relevant to high-level athleticism. One of the critical components for elite level athletic performance is power transfer from the upper to the lower body, or vice versa. Our method is designed to build a bulletproof torso to ensure maximum core stiffness and power transfer—regardless of your sport.
What type of athlete can benefit from training with Samsara?
While none of our programs are well-suited to beginners, seasoned athletes of every level will progress with our method. We have trained athletes across the spectrum of sport using the Bodyweight Program with excellent results. We believe that there are a few threads that connect high-level athleticism. Torsional stiffness, posterior chain strength, and single leg stability - these are all enhanced by the Program.
