Annual Periodization Membership

$179/mo • begins November 11, 2024
Coached by Laura Savino, Carli Hobson, and Mickee Stillman

Have you been intrigued by periodizing your year to maximize building muscle and feeling your best but are unsure how to start? Are you excited about building muscle and taking control of your nutrition?

Join us for our Annual Periodization Membership. This month-to-month cohort option will only be offered once per year, with the entire year planned out for you.

  • Prep Week: Nov 2nd - 10th—This is when you’ll be admitted to the cohort, work through the first two course materials, and have your check-in sheet filled in.

  • Build Foundations: Nov 11th—24th—The first two calls will be about preparing for the build, setting your own muscle-building targets, and ensuring you’re set up for success.

  • 14-Week Muscle Building Phase: Nov 25th - March 2nd—Just in time for U.S. Thanksgiving, we’ll start a 14-week build season designed to maximize muscle gain while adding minimal bodyfat. Here we’ll discuss the nutrition and training aspects to ensure your best build phase yet.

  • 12-Week Fat Loss Phase: March 2nd - May 25th—Post-build, we’ll enter a targeted fat loss phase, during which you will learn how to set your own targets and make adjustments to execute a successful fat loss phase.

  • Maintenance May 26th - August 31st—Here, you’ll have the foundation to maintain the muscle build and fat loss results. After this phase, you'll be ready to graduate and confidently track nutrition on your own.

This is designed for the person who is confident in their tracking abilities and is looking to gain that next level of knowledge to maximize muscle gain, minimize body fat gain, and lock in their best physique yet. The person who is the best fit for this cohort:

  • Is confident in tracking their nutrition and has already been tracking (as part of prep week, you will need to pull up your last few weeks of nutrition starting from October 21st)

  • Is mentally ready to enter a build phase and work towards increasing numbers on the scale

  • Is an intermediate at strength training and following, or ready to follow, a hypertrophy-based program.

  • Is finally ready to kick the training wheels off and understand how their body manages building muscle and fat loss phases.

    • Education is released weekly on Fridays.

    • Custom check-in form for you to use throughout the course

    • Weekly cohort calls (will be recorded for weeks you cannot attend, No calls the weeks of Christmas and New Years Eve)

    • A discounted membership to The Practical Athlete, our sister workout training program

    • You will know how to manipulate food and activity to optimize fat loss and minimize muscle loss in a fat loss phase

    I have LOVED working with EPN! The scientific data driven approach helps to explain everything and keeps you on track so you can try new things without fear because you have the data to keep you on track. I was able to increase my calories by 900!!!! I am loving feeling healthy, strong, and fed, and all the benefits that come with taking care of your body. Health, hormones, sleep, stress, etc are all improved!

  • Mel

    This coaching cohort has been incredible. Whether you have already a good baseline of knowledge on tracking macros and performance based goals, or are completely new to the idea of planning and tracking your food for physique and health related reasons, you will take away a new tool for your toolbox each and every week.

  • Tabitha

    The Cohorts are the perfect balance of accountability, education, and encouragement. They provide the tools and resources all while empowering you to find what works best for any stage of life. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complex or difficult. I love their approach of meeting you where you’re at so you can achieve long term success.
