The Phase SiX Revolution

More than a workout, more than a mindset, Phase SiX is a total mind and body 'revolution'. It sounds inspiring, but what the heck does that actually mean? We sat down with one of the founders, Jay Rose, to get to the bottom of what Phase SiX is all about, and why it's something to consider if you're looking to thrive physically as well as mentally.

Read on for the inside scoop and to learn more about what to expect on the Phase SiX Revolution Retreat in Costa Rica, November 11-15, 2021.

Until Jay and I were connected by a mutual friend in the fitness industry, I had heard of unconventional training and primal movement, but if asked to describe them to someone else, I don't think I had the proper tools to do so. So when we discussed a Phase SiX retreat where these concepts (among others) would be brought to life, I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to blog about it and break these concepts down. ​

What is Phase SiX?

Phase SiX is a multimedia wellness company that specializes in providing people with a strong holistic foundation to thrive physically and mentally. They do this by creating content showcasing a variety of fitness/training methods, offering a suggested nutrition plan, and educating clients about the human body and movement.

What makes Phase SiX stand out is that the unique combination of training methods they incorporate (that many fitness enthusiasts may not even be familiar with) such as: primeval techniques, martial arts-inspired movements, conventional and unconventional training methods. Their training almost looks like a dance. Take a look at the videos below to see what I mean, and then we'll break it down.

​Now, let's break it down:

• ​Primeval / primal techniques: Bodyweight training methods with quadrupedal or animal-inspired locomotion. This type of training highlights the functional movements the body is designed for: crawling, crouching, jumping, etc. It's fun and can be done without any equipment.
• Martial arts-inspired movements: Elements of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts that the Phase SiX founders practice in their own lives.
• Conventional training: More common exercises and movements, often isolated and focused on form and technique.
• Unconventional training: Movements (often compound movements) with a focus on athletic performance, mobility and durability often using less-common or 'unconventional' tools like kettlebells, steel maces and battle ropes.

Who is Phase SiX for?

Regardless of where you are in your journey, whether you are beginner or advanced, you are welcome to participate in Phase SiX programs. Ultimately, Phase SiX is for you if you are looking to implement more movement into your lifestyle and further your knowledge of the methods behind that movement.

Taking a step back, what was the inspiration for starting Phase SiX?

Steph and I started Phase SiX as we were fed up with constantly searching for gyms or coaches who trained the way we wanted to train but we couldn’t find any. We found there was a lack of good education, an unhealthy fixation on quick results/transformations as well as a mass amount of misinformation throughout the industry in general, and this is something we wanted to change. We then decided to invest the money which we had saved for a house into a three-month tour around the USA to learn and gain education from all of our biggest inspirations who were the leaders and pioneers of the industry, many of whom are now our good friends. Since then we have travelled the world sharing this education, our mission and our message to truly remarkable people!
