What could be better than learning My Model in a tiny, little purple room with an intense group of strangers over a cold, windy weekend in February in beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana?

How about an even better learning experience, but in a far warmer, sunnier place like Scottsdale, Arizona? What if we all worked, ate, and slept in a resort home with a heated pool and hot tub?

One of the things that I’ve said every time I’ve done The Intensive was that the model evolved.

Putting big brains in that tiny purple room led to some of the best discussions about human performance that I’ve ever been a part of. We challenged conventional thinking and traditional viewpoints to produce better solutions. Everyone got better. We didn’t have a choice.

A quick story…

A few years back, a few of my friends and I were a bit disappointed with the educational offers and decided to take matters into our own hands.

We got together and hand-picked a presenter that we wanted to learn from. 

We chose who would attend.

We locked down a house in The Hamptons, grilled and ate what seemed like hundreds of pounds of meat, and had an amazing and memorable weekend of learning that was hard to outdo. 

That experience is one of the reasons why The Intensive is as it has been.

I wanted the right people in the room. I wanted the experience to be powerful and meaningful. It cannot be for the beginner or casual learner looking to fulfill a continuing education requirement.

After 20 rounds of The Intensive, it’s time to raise the game and evolve again.

The refinement, depth, and detail of My Model over the last few years have helped numerous professionals reach new levels of success.

“With over 20-years of experience in the training and rehabilitation industry, I was left with so many unanswered questions. Learning Bill’s model and attending The Intensive has provided me answers to those questions while continuing to expand my thinking. His mentorship has challenged me to improve my clinical reasoning, identify treatment/training priorities, rationalize my sequencing, and to define and defend my process. Acquiring these skills and applying his model to the athletes I work with, has immensely improved my treatment outcomes and my passion for learning about methods to optimize and enhance human movement.”

“My educational journey reached a pivotal milestone when I participated in the 20th Intensive program held in Indianapolis, Indiana. This immersive experience ignited my curiosity and a fervor to delve into the intricate structural and behavioral complexities of nature. During the Intensive, our exclusive group of eight individuals, thoughtfully curated by Bill, explored a diverse range of topics spanning movement, rehabilitation, and training principles, among other subject matters. Bill’s intuition and expertise in selecting our group helped kindle an intellectual synergy during our time together, fostering many fresh insights, reconsiderations, and novel modes of independent problem-solving. We had been introduced to a new reality—one that would change our philosophy of the world for the better. Furthermore, having gained access to the Intensive community’s online forum and bi-monthly Zoom calls has only further enriched the experience after the fact, allowing for consistent meaningful collaboration amongst other like-minded Intensive graduates. The online forum has provided a sanctuary for us students to inquire, evolve, and implement Bill’s model, consistently offering a platform for valuable insights and support.

Bill Hartman transcends traditional boundaries and labels. He isn’t one to merely think outside of the box, as he encourages his students to challenge the very existence of the proverbial box in the first place. He is a master of empowering his students to dismantle complex models of thought, and to replace them with more simplistic, coherent, principled, reasoned models of reality.”

So here’s what I’m going to do.

I’m ramping up the intensity another notch.

I have created the optimal environment to drive learning to the next level.

Just like interval training, if you’re going to up the intensity, you’ve got to build in the recovery time.

Instead of The Purple Room, we’re locking everyone down in a million-dollar resort house in Scottdale, Arizona. You don’t have to worry about where you’ll be staying. We’ve got room for everyone selected.

You won’t have to worry about meals. I’ve got you covered on that too.

Yes, I’m actually leaving beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana to do The Intensive. If you know me at all, you know I would never leave Indy (let alone my office) unless it was important.

Make no mistake. This is not going to be a relaxing vacation. We’re going to put in the mental work.

You’ll need to apply to attend just as we have in the past. 

We’re going to go step-by-step and construct The Unified Health & Performance Continuum in as much detail as we can in three and a half short days. (You’ll also earn access to The Intensive Group after The Intensive to continue learning with like-minded people)

We’ll have sun during breaks in the day and the heated pool for evening recovery, decompression, and ongoing discussions. 

Bring your favorite pen, a laptop, and your brain.
