How It Works
We did not build a gym. We did not design a class. We gave birth to a sport — where players and coaches work together, where effort, scoring and teamwork matters. The reason why we play the game is because its HARD.
Our Values
what we believe
How our 5 values are incorporated into the game.
Balance &
Movement
The body is built to move. At different tempos and in every direction. Our programs train balance, mobility and strength together — not separately.
Human
Vitality
Vitality is not reserved for elite athletes. We believe it belongs to any person willing to earn it. Our mission is to Amplify Vitality.
Quality
Experiences
Every game feels like an event — players are coached, scored and celebrated. Showing up to play should be the best part of your day.
Truth &
Transparency
Numbers don't lie. Players are measured by stats; VA%, NRG, Reps Scored — Player progress can be proven by fact not just a feeling.
Utility &
Aesthetics
Behind all of our design elements is a scientifically proven game that produces results. Train for performance and the look takes care of itself.
The Field
The AVX Field
Our field layout features 30 numbered pods and a perimeter track. Each pod is assigned to one player for the entire game. No stations. No rotations. No waiting your turn.
One Pod
PER Player
Each pod is pre-loaded with all of the equipment a player needs for their personalized program. You walk in, find your pod, and play.
During rest intervals, players may leave their pod to run laps around the perimeter track — adding bonus points to their team's score.
How Our Game Is Played
45 Minutes
5 Phases
There are multiple AVT game formats spanning 45 – 90 minutes. Rounds are 8 minutes and every set is scored. Check out some of the elements that make up our game day experiences.
Warm-Up
Mobility, active stretching and optional cardio. Coaches review gameplans with players before the clock starts.
Conditioning
Run, Row, Spin or Jump Rope; The conditioning period is 5-15 minutes of heart pumping cardiovascular exercise before the Activation period of the game. Optional for 5:AM & 9:AM players, mandatory for the AVT Games competition.
Activation
The game clock starts. A constant-movement set fires the CNS and locks players into their pods before scoring begins.
Round 1
Round 1. Every rep is a point. Players submit Volume Intensity Feedback after each set — Yellow, Green or Red.
Round 2
Round 2. The scoreboard builds. Bonus sets unlock for players already on pace. Run laps during rest & earn team points.
Round 3
Round 3. Fatigue enters the chat. Coaches check intensity feedback live and adjust resistance up or down on every pod.
Round 4
Round 4. Every rep matters. Who is chasing 101%? Which team will earn the top score? This round could decide the game.
Round 5
Round 5. The final round. After this scores are locked. The player and team that finishes strong usually wins the game.
Round 6
Round 6. Reserved for the standard 52 minute version of the game. One more opportunity to score points, run laps and improve your VA%.
The Finisher
Two minutes of everything left in the tank. This is each players personal round to finish strong. It isn't scored, its an active victory lap.
WINNER
Player score cards are submitted. VA% calculated. The MVP is announced. Winning Team revealed. Every player leaves with a scorecard.
ELITE Games
ELITE players compete in Sport-Specific competitive mini-games that simulate sport-based sequences designed to develop in-game decision making, teamwork and awareness.
Refuel
Fresh postgame smoothies are provided to start the recovery process. Choose from (6) different flavors when you book your next game.
SAUNA
Game & Recovery players enter the Infrared Sauna where they accelerate the recovery process by increasing blood flow, reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and flushing out metabolic waste.
COLD PLUNGE
Game & Recovery players then progress to a personal cold tub that reduces their core body temperature and inflammation levels; These contrast therapy methods aid the body in speeding up the recovery process.
How Players are Scored
Three Metrics
One Winner
We track 3 numbers that tell the story of every game. Your effort in numbers. These 3 stats are how the MVP is decided, how players measure their progress and how coaches make adjustments in real time.
VA%
Volume Average Percentage
The Game-Winning Metric
VA% measures how much of your available output you actually delivered — adjusted to your training phase. Effort, not athleticism, decides the winner.
A player with a higher VA% beats a stronger player who held back. Every game.
Formula
(by training phase)
NRG
Heart Rate Reserve
Your Energy Capacity
NRG is your version of Heart Rate Reserve — a metric used in medical practices to measure cardiovascular capacity.
The higher your NRG, the more energy you have available to spend in a game — and the further it grows over your 12-week season.
Formula
REPS
Reps Scored
The Raw Count
Every rep is logged. Every set is timed. Your training phase decides whether you play a T3 game (three target sets) or a T4 game (four target sets).
Finish all your reps in the allotted work time, submit the required Yellow feedbacks, and you unlock a Bonus Round. You cannot fake the count.
Bonus Round Qualifier
T4 = Phases 2, 3
+ submit Yellow feedback
(1 in a T3 game, 2 in a T4 game)
Volume Intensity Feedback
Yellow
Green
Red
After every set you grade its difficulty with one of three signals. Your feedback automatically adjusts the next set — heavier, the same, or lighter. The system guarantees progress because it adapts to you in real time.
Yellow
Too Easy → Add Load
Your set didn't challenge you enough. The system increases intensity or resistance for your next set.
Green
Just Right → Hold Steady
You hit the sweet spot. The next set stays at the same intensity to build volume.
Red
Too Hard → Drop Load
The set pushed past your threshold. The system reduces resistance to keep you in the zone for growth.
T3 + T4 Bonus Set Qualification
5 Phase Player Progression
Stabilization to Power
Every AVT game is built on a 5-phase periodization framework. Each phase trains a different physical adaptation, and players will progress through all five over the course of a 12-week season.
Phase 1
Stabilization
Foundational Strength-work — core control, time under tension, joint integrity, movement quality. This is where every player starts.
Phase 2
Strength
Endurance
Increased work capacity. Lower resistance, Higher reps, controlled tempo and sustained output from set to set.
Phase 3
Hypertrophy
Intensity climbs. Rest inerval plummets. This is the phase where muscles are built and the body starts to change.
Phase 4
Maximal
Strength
Heavier loads, fewer reps. The phase where players discover how much strength they actually have.
Phase 5
Power
Explosive output is the name of this phase. The goal is to reduce the time it takes to generate force under load.
