Having earned their undergraduate degrees from the University of
California at Berkeley, Steven and Maya believe in the tradition of
applying research in “real world” environments. They used themselves
as “test-subjects” for every theory, movement, and nutritional curriculum
they teach, ensuring that their clients will “never go where Steve and
Maya haven’t been.” By using their personal experiences from
bodyweight conditioning, sports specific training, bodybuilding, martial
arts, and yoga, Steven and Maya took with them what was useful and
meaningful, incorporating a training style that enhances functional
capacity while improving physical composition.

Testimonial:
"The Ice Chamber is dialed into performance
enhancement and body efficiency. You can tell that their
goal is to help you perform better at your sport (as a mixed
martial artist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete, I appreciated
their understanding of combatives and functional
conditioning). I am a HUGE fan of their philosophy.
On top of being content experts, Steven and Maya's
enthusiasm is contagious ... they know how to motivate you
beyond your comfort zone. Anyone who trains at the Ice
Chamber is going to see big gains."

| Programming Philosophy |
Our programs are suitable for people of all
ages and fitness levels.
We believe that your time spent exercising
should have real world application. For
example, it makes little sense to spend
hours on a treadmill, but lack the explosive
capacity to sprint away from an attacker. Our
training methodologies ensure that our
clients will benefit outside of the gym. We
incorporate functional movements such as
walking, squatting, lunging, running,
sprinting, climbing, jumping, kicking,
punching, throwing, lifting, pressing, pulling,
and swinging. These movements
constitute what we consider a foundation of
athletic mobility. Mastering proper
biomechanics will enhance your ability to
perform physical tasks anywhere, anytime.
We use closed kinetic chain multi-joint
exercises. Our exercise selection includes,
among other things, techniques found in
Olympic-style weightlifting, plyometrics,
bodyweight and self-defense based
conditioning.
