How the Academy connects.
Google Classroom is your training hub: weekly programming, program PDFs, coaching resources, announcements and event instructions.
The Academy Performance App holds your personal references, PBs and competition information. ErgZone supports compatible erg sessions.
Choose your training. Understand your target. Complete the work. Review your progress.
Your guidance depends on the benchmarks you provide. Current fitness, technique and session instructions still lead.
Two kinds of library access. One membership.
Academy-exclusive programming
Member-only programs are not sold separately. Slow and Go, Distance Ergathlon, Power Hour and THE MINUTE are part of this exclusive collection, arriving on their scheduled dates.
Existing library highlights include the Economy Blocks, Big Three Base Strength, Hybrid Engine Block and 6,000 m Performance Series.
The ELITE Series
Goal-focused programs combine structured conditioning, relevant strength work, coaching guidance and performance testing. Program length and weekly commitment vary; selected plans include an optional base phase.
Academy members receive access as each plan launches. ELITE plans will also be available individually through the SHOP. Buying one standalone plan does not include Academy membership.

Train. Test. Compete.
The October–December 2026 pre-season introduces monthly events, optional preparation mini-cycles and live event standings. Entries are reviewed before approval; pre-season results do not carry points into 2027.
The planned 2027 regular season runs January–October: ten monthly events, with your best eight monthly point scores contributing to the season total. Complete at least six approved monthly events to be eligible for the top-eight November playoffs. Each regular-season event has an optional preparation mini-cycle.
November brings three unique head-to-head events: quarterfinals November 1–10, semifinals November 11–20 and the championship November 21–30. There is no November mini-cycle. Two titles are on the line: regular-season champion and tournament champion. December is the off-season.
Participation is optional. GAPI provides comparative event scoring, not a population percentile or a guarantee of perfectly equivalent comparisons. Follow the published event protocol and rules.
How the playoff bracket works
Quarterfinals: 1 v 8, 4 v 5, 2 v 7 and 3 v 6. Winners of 1/8 and 4/5 meet in one semifinal; winners of 2/7 and 3/6 meet in the other. No reseeding.
One submitted attempt per athlete per round. Deadlines are 6:00 p.m. EST on November 10, 20 and 30. Better GAPI event score advances; an exact tie favours the better seed (lower number). A withdrawal is a forfeit.
One combined top-eight bracket. Equal regular-season point totals are separated by best individual monthly placing, then second-best, third-best and so on.
Getting started is straightforward.
- Join the Academy and follow your access instructions.
- Complete Ecosystem Registration and your Initial PB Inventory using the links in Start Here.
- Open your Academy Performance App profile.
- Choose one main training pathway or program, at an appropriate entry point.
You do not need every benchmark on day one. Add credible information as it becomes available, and ask if you are unsure where to start.
Before you join.
Do I need every machine?
No. Choose a pathway that matches the equipment you have. Check the requirements of your chosen program; strength, running and HYROX plans have their own equipment and readiness needs.
Do I have to complete every workout?
No. Follow one main progression or select appropriate sessions to support an existing plan. Do not stack complete programs. Ask for guidance if you are unsure how to combine training.
Can I join partway through the year?
Yes. Start with the onboarding guidance and choose a suitable weekly pathway or library plan. Enter ongoing training conservatively; use the program’s base phase or seek guidance where appropriate.
Do I need a Google Account?
Yes, for Google Classroom and your registered app profile. It does not have to use a Gmail address. Use the Google Account associated with your Academy registration.
Is everything available immediately?
Membership includes the existing library and new Academy releases as they become available. The release calendar identifies upcoming programs; a scheduled release is not available early simply because it appears here.
Is the Academy the same as buying one program?
No. A standalone SHOP purchase gives you that product, not Academy membership. Academy members receive the wider library, weekly programming, app access, member challenges and new releases as they launch.
Is this individually written one-to-one coaching?
The Academy combines structured programming, coaching guidance and individualized performance references. It is not a promise that every plan is rewritten for each member. Ask about separate individualized coaching if that is what you need.
What if I already have a standard membership?
Standard membership and Academy access are different offers. Contact Justin before purchasing to confirm any upgrade arrangements. This page does not change an existing membership or renewal.
Can I still choose standard membership or in-person training?
Yes—view the current standard membership options in the SHOP, or contact GARAGEATHLETE about in-person training. These are separate services; do not assume they include the Academy library, app or events.
