Clubbell & Bodyweight Intuitive Training (CBIT)

There is a point in every serious practitioner’s training journey where the question stops being about how hard to push and starts being about how intelligently to listen. The Clubbell and Bodyweight Intuitive Training program, CBIT, reflects that shift, combining complexity with clarity and intensity with intelligence. Developed by TACFIT Team Leader Alaina Sawaya, a highly competitive athlete, fitness coach, and active firefighter who understands better than most what it means to need your training to translate into real-world physical and cognitive performance, CBIT was born from a genuine recognition that the body and the brain are inseparable training partners. What the body learns through intuitive movement, the brain retains and what the brain develops through that process reaches far beyond the training session into every area of life that demands awareness, decision-making, and composure under pressure.

CBIT is an intelligently designed 4-week training system that blends Clubbell mechanics with bodyweight movement to help you build strength, improve mobility, and restore natural function, without overtraining or burning out. Whether you are a seasoned coach or a dedicated mover, this program teaches you how to train intuitively, progress through complexity, and listen to your body while still challenging your limits in meaningful and productive ways. The program is built around a structured 4-week progression that alternates between learning and refining,  introducing new movement sequences, allowing the nervous system to absorb and integrate them, and then building complexity on top of that foundation in a way that feels earned rather than forced. Each session is designed to leave you more capable, more aware, and more connected to how your body actually works rather than simply more fatigued.

These sequences don’t just build physical strength,  they activate the brain in ways that enhance decision-making, spatial awareness, memory, and emotional regulation, skills that carry over far beyond the gym. As Coach Sonnon teaches throughout the TACFIT system, this method of training increases attentional stamina, situational reasoning, decision speed, and high-level problem-solving capacity, qualities that Alaina has found indispensable in her work as a firefighter and that practitioners at every level and in every field will recognize immediately in their own lives. CBIT is not just a program you complete. It is a practice that changes how you think about what training is actually for and delivers results in the body, the brain, and the quality of movement that compound long after the four weeks are done.
