Is Mage your kind of training?
It may suit you if you prefer an unhurried approach and want to pay attention to how each movement feels. Mage includes active strength training as well as balance; it is not a stretching-only programme.
What your workouts look like
LEVEL 1
Training Grounds
Combine squats, wall push-ups and prone W raises with hip hinges, glute bridges, dead bugs, bird dogs and supported balance work.
LEVEL 2
The Battlefield
Introduce light dumbbells and cable resistance while retaining bodyweight and supported movements. Comfortable range and controlled repetitions remain central.
LEVEL 3
The War Room
Practise deliberate compound lifts, including bench presses and Romanian deadlifts, alongside familiar strength and balance work. There is no deadline to move to heavier training.
Equipment to plan for
Home sessions use stable support and a mat or folded towel. Gym sessions use light dumbbells, a bench and cable equipment. Some Level 3 sessions use a barbell and appropriate bench safety equipment.
Options when a movement or piece of equipment does not suit
Written options include bodyweight sit-to-stands, unloaded hinges and supported balance positions. Use a range you can control. These are general exercise alternatives, not rehabilitation or individual medical advice.
Exercise guides include written instructions and illustrated, video or external demonstrations. Videos load only when you choose to open them.
Your pace, through three levels
Each cycle contains three workouts for nonconsecutive training days. New daily workouts have at least five main exercises, with a warm-up and cooldown kept separate. Allow approximately 25–40 minutes at Level 1, 35–50 at Level 2 and 45–65 at Level 3.
Complete the three Training Grounds sessions at one volume setting to graduate this class. After at least two completed Battlefield cycles for the same class, you can choose the War Room when you feel ready. These are training steps, never payment requirements; completion alone does not assess your readiness.
Stay at a level or return to an earlier one. Replaying a completed cycle selects another curated programme and keeps earlier history. There are three Level 1 templates and two each at Levels 2 and 3 for every class, so rotation means revisiting reviewed programmes rather than endlessly generated workouts.

After the main-workout celebration, an optional class-themed Side Quest offers a short block of extra training. Accept it, seek one alternative or return to camp. It never counts as another main workout or changes your level progression.
Train within your ability and use a comfortable range and load. Stop if you feel pain or other concerning symptoms. Seek appropriate advice from a qualified healthcare professional when needed, and ask a qualified trainer about unfamiliar movements or equipment.
