🚨 New Equipment Alert 🚨

Christmas came a day early 😍 - Santa working overtime to bring our athletes new equipment 🎅🏼🔥

These will provide the opportunity for lots of new drills & most importantly allow athletes to step outside of their comfort zone on box jumps without risking injury 💯

REP’s Stackable Soft Foam Plyo Boxes are both soft and stable. The ultra-dense foam protects your shins and joints because it absorbs impact. This foam also adds weight to the box, making it highly tip-resistant, even when you jump on the edges. 💪🏼

So proud of this dude!! 😭 Cracking into the 11’s last night—10.8 to 11.0 and then 11.1 mph—and it’s NO accident 🔥 He has been putting in the work! Week after week he’s getting faster, stronger, and more confident - it’s incredible to watch the payoff of consistency, effort, and belief. 💯

Seeing all the smiles and watching these kids realize they haven’t reached their limits is such a joy! These are the moments that make it all worth it—hard work stacking up and progress showing loud and clear. He’s come such a long way since his first session - so proud! Way to go, Lenox!! 💪🏼

Awesome session outta this stud last night! New PR top speed on the treadmill - 15.8 mph. He’s coachable, cares about the details, & works his tail off 100% of the time while always maintaining a good attitude. Future is bright with that combo 😤🤩

Still can’t believe I ran from sun up to sun down at Broken Anvil Backyard Ultra a few months ago — 50 miles.
It taught me something I’ll never forget: your body is capable of far more than your mind will try to convince you of.

If you’re reading this, know this — you can do hard things too. You can start over. You can reset your fitness journey. You can choose discipline over doubt, one step at a time.

And if your heart is still beating, God isn’t done with you. He has a purpose and a plan, even on the days you feel tired, stuck, or behind.

Don’t quit. Keep showing up. Your breakthrough might be closer than you think. 💪🏼

The only present Jesus wants for Christmas is you. 🤍
No matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or what’s been done to you—God loves you & created you. He loved you enough to send His Son to be born in the lowest of places, to live humbly, and to die a brutal death on the cross so you could be forgiven and restored.

Whether you’re skeptical about this Jesus guy, believe there’s a God but feel overwhelmed by it all, think Christians are a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites, or haven’t been to church in years—this is for you.

I wanna encourage you - get your butt to a church this Christmas Eve. Heaven and hell are real. Your salvation has nothing to do with other people - it’s between you and God. It’s the most important decision of your life. He wants to meet you right where you are & His spirit wants to encounter you like never before this Christmas. 🙏🏼❤️

So proud of this kids session today - showed up ready to work!! It’s no surprise that one of the strongest kids I work with has also been my most consistent. There’s no shortcuts to making gainz. Good old fashion hard work & consistency is UNDEFEATED & will never go out of style. Way to go, Wes!! 💪🏼🥅⚾️

You can have excuses or results 😤

Make 2026 the year you invest in your health & stop making excuses 👊🏼

Life isn’t a race against anyone else. It’s a journey of becoming the best version of 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

This girl is the epitome of that. From showing up day after day to stacking quiet wins, her consistency speaks louder than anything. Recent milestones? A 150 lb deadlift and 135 lb squat 💪🏼🔥

She’s a freaking beast—and it’s earned. Way to go, Erika. So proud of you 👊🏼

Get better while having fun & being competitive 😤💯 some ankles were broken last night

Last week up in Ankeny - gunna miss these girls!! Big things ahead for them all 🙌🏼 Iowa Elite Force

So proud of this kid!! His PR top speed coming into last night was 13.5 mph and crushed it on all 3 of his sprints - getting faster on each one 👏🏼 catch the smiles in there, you gotta love it!!

Btw - he’s only 10 years old 😳

He had a rough session the last time I saw him. One of the funnest parts of coaching & training is reminding these kids you’re not always gunna have the best workout. You’re not always gunna feel like being here. That’s okay! Showing up even when you don’t feel like it trains them the most powerful weapon of all - DISCIPLINE 💪🏼 way to bounce back, buddy! 👍🏼
