Feel stronger, more energized, and more confident in what your body can do.

Three full-body workouts, three ways to train, and a simple four-week plan to build on your progress.

$27 | One-time payment | Ongoing access

A Fresh Challenge. A Simple Plan.

Whether you've been exercising consistently or you're ready to get back into a more structured routine, Build Momentum gives you three full-body workouts and a clear plan to follow.

You'll train with me three times a week using training formats that help you get stronger, fitter, and more agile:

  • Metabolic Fusion combines strength and cardio intervals.
  • Peak Cardio Strength brings strength, cardio, and high-intensity Peaks together in my signature format.
  • Pure Strength lets you slow down, lift heavier, and focus on your form.

Each workout is under an hour.

You'll repeat these workouts over four weeks, giving yourself time to learn the movements, push a little harder, and see your progress.

You're not starting over every week. You're building on what you've already done.

Bonus: Sweat & Burn

40 minutes | Cardio

A fun, choreographed cardio workout from my original Peak Fit Body Challenge series. No weights needed! It's completely optional and ready whenever you want an extra cardio session.

Why I Chose These Three Workouts

This is how I train, and it's the foundation of what I've taught my members for years.

Strength at the Heart

Strength training is at the heart of every workout in Build Momentum. It's one of the most important things you can do for your body, now and for years to come.

Cardio You Love

Many of us love our cardio. So instead of asking you to choose, I've built strength into workouts that also get your heart pumping.

Music That Moves You

In Metabolic Fusion and Peak Cardio Strength, movement and music go hand in hand. You'll coordinate athletic movement patterns to the beat and stay mentally engaged from one exercise to the next.

Together, these workouts reflect the way I believe training should feel: strength-focused, varied, and energizing enough that you'll want to come back.

Where Peak Cardio Strength Began

I first introduced Peak Cardio Strength to a test group at my health club in May 2010. It became a huge hit with our members and eventually grew into the nationally televised Peak Fit System.

Since then, I've created 30 Peak Cardio Strength routines, each building on the original format.

For Build Momentum, I decided to go back to where it all started. I've freshly filmed and updated that very first routine, keeping the heart of the original intact while bringing more than 16 years of teaching and coaching experience to it.

If you trained with the original years ago, this is your chance to reconnect with it. It's every bit as challenging as it was in 2010. And if you're new to Peak, there's no better place to start. The choreography is more straightforward than some of my later routines, so you can put your energy into the work.

Is Build Momentum Right for You?

Build Momentum is designed for people who have some exercise experience and are ready for a challenge.

You'll want to be comfortable working with dumbbells and enjoy a mix of strength training, cardio intervals, and athletic movement.

You can adjust the intensity to meet yourself where you are, then build from there.

What You'll Need

You don't need a lot of equipment.

Dumbbells

Two pairs to start, one lighter and one heavier, typically 5–15 lbs. If you have heavier weights for Pure Strength, even better.

Exercise Mat

For the floor exercises and core work in Metabolic Fusion and Pure Strength, plus a comfortable spot to stretch.

Step or Platform (optional)

Used for some supporting exercises in Pure Strength. It's completely optional, and you can make do without it.

Space to Move

Enough room to step, reach, and move comfortably through the cardio intervals and athletic movement patterns.

That's it! Start with what you have. As you get stronger, you may want to add heavier weights down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Build Momentum suitable for beginners?

Build Momentum is designed for people with some exercise experience. The workouts are challenging, but you can use lighter weights, take breaks when you need them, and follow the low-impact modifications. You can also do 20 to 30 minutes and skip ahead to the cooldown, then build up from there.

How long will I have access? Is this a subscription?

Build Momentum is a one-time purchase of $27, with no recurring fees. You'll have ongoing access to the workouts and rotation guide through your online account.

What if I can't keep up with the choreography?

No problem! Metabolic Fusion and Peak Cardio Strength use athletic movement patterns coordinated to music. If a pattern feels tricky, focus on the footwork first and add the arms once it feels comfortable. In Peak Cardio Strength, you can also follow the low-impact modifications. The more familiar the movements become, the more you can focus on the workout itself.

Do I have to follow the four-week schedule exactly?

No. The rotation guide gives you a suggested weekly plan, but you can shift days to fit your life. Just give yourself a recovery day between the three main workouts.

Can I watch the workouts on my TV?

Yes! You can use Apple AirPlay, Google Cast (on compatible devices), or an HDMI connection to watch on a larger screen. There's no dedicated TV app, but you can stream the workouts from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Can I download the workouts?

The workout videos stream online and aren't downloadable. Your four-week rotation guide is a download, so you can print it or keep it handy.
