I received my renewed business license yesterday, and it took me back to the early days, when many people tried to discourage me from leaving my career to open a small business.
•
At the time, it was hard not to take those warnings personally. Now, with a little more age and perspective, I understand they weren’t speaking from malice. They were speaking from fear. A fear rooted in the comfort of what was familiar and certain.
•
As I reflect on these past 14 years, I want to pause, as I do every anniversary, to thank each and every member—past and present—who has been part of this journey. None of this would have been possible without your continued support, patience, and dedication. I don’t take that for granted. I appreciate all of you.
•
Lastly, I want to encourage you to take calculated risks, to step into the unknown, and to pursue the aspirations that matter to you. We all know that death is the only certainty in life, yet none of us knows how much time we have left. So get out there. Chase your goals. Don’t be afraid to fail. If you’re going to be afraid of anything, be afraid of disappointing your future self.
•
Keep showing up, even when it feels impossible, your future self will thank you.
•

We’ve officially wrapped up week two of training. That means there are 10 weeks left until our next fitness assessment.
•
This is your reminder to dial in now. Track your numbers, know your baseline, and give yourself a clear target to beat when assessment day comes. Progress is easier when it’s measured.
•
Great work, everyone. Let’s keep building. 💪🏼
•

01/14/2026

Starting in February, we’re launching 9 AM classes on Fridays and Saturdays.
•
These classes are open to everyone, but are especially designed for parents who cannot make early mornings and can train after school drop-off. All current members are welcome to attend.
•
If the 9 AM classes gain traction, we’ll add a Wednesday 9 AM as well. If you’re interested in mid-morning training, share this with friends — especially other parents. You’ll receive 10% off for every referral you bring in.
•
Let’s build it together. 💪🏼
•

01/07/2026

Yesterday was our first official conditioning day.
•
If Saturday’s assessment or yesterday’s cardio humbled you, this is your sign not to skip the runs. Strength matters, but cardio is what keeps you going as you age.
•
Tuesdays & Thursdays ACCESSORY will include a 1–2 mile run to finish the workout. Optional… but highly encouraged if running is your weakness.
•
Less show, more go. Let’s build real fitness this year. 💪🏽🏃‍♂️
•

01/05/2026

Our Top 3 men and women have officially been determined and will be announced later today.💪🏼
•
Some of these were very close calls. As mentioned on test day, the tiebreakers came down to pull-ups/chin-ups and the run. The athletes who made the podium were the ones who showed the best overall balance across all the tests.
•
Now everyone has a clear picture of their strengths and weaknesses. The goal moving forward is simple:
maintain your strengths and invest more time into improving your weaknesses.
•
For example, if your bench press hit the intermediate category but the rest of your numbers were baseline or below, that’s a sign to shift your focus. Stop chasing what you’re already good at and start bringing up what’s holding you back. The goal is to be well-rounded.
•
We’re proud of all of you. Use these numbers not as discouragement, but as direction. Set short-term goals to reach your long-term ones.
•
Next fitness assessment: 3 months.
•

01/02/2026

2026 is here, and tomorrow we kick off our first Quarterly Fitness Assessment of the year.
•
This assessment gives you a clear snapshot of where your fitness stands and helps set the direction for what you should focus on improving throughout the year.
•
Weigh-ins begin at 8:45 AM. Please arrive on time.
•
The assessment will include:
• Pull-ups
• Squats
• Bench press
• Deadlifts
• 2-mile run (to conclude)
•
All reps must meet the standard. Any questionable reps will not count.
•
To progress to the next category, all prerequisites must be completed before advancing, with the exception of the run. This structure is in place to keep everyone safe while testing.
•
We’re excited to see everyone’s numbers and, more importantly, to track your progress over the year. Show up ready, give your best effort, and let’s set the tone for 2026.

Consistency pays off. 💪
Over the last 10 weeks, everyone has increased their deadlift capacity.
Proud of those who keep showing up and putting in the work — you’re going to crush the fitness test. 🔥

•

12/03/2025

The internet is full of cute workouts… but cute doesn’t build strength.
•
If you want real muscle, real confidence, and real longevity, you have to lift.
•
Moms and women 40+, stop chasing trends that don’t deliver.
•
DM us and start training the right way.
