Philosophically Built - Transformation Center

We help people change their body, mindset, and life through fitness, nutrition, and accountability. More than fitness - its a philosophy for living stronger.

Philosophically Built is more than a gym — it’s a mindset. We exist to transform lives through fitness, discipline, and purposeful living. Our approach goes beyond the workout. We train the body to sharpen the mind, build resilience, and fuel lasting change. Whether you're starting from scratch or chasing your next level, our mission is simple: help you become the strongest version of yourself — physically, mentally, and spiritually. We don’t believe in quick fixes. We believe in doing the hard things, showing up daily, and building strength that lasts a lifetime. This is where strength is forged. This is where transformation begins. This is Philosophically Built.

🏆 Member of the Week: Julie Ochse 🏆

A huge congratulations to this week’s PB Member of the Week, Julie Ochse! Julie is the definition of long-term commitment paying off. She shows up early, puts her head down, and challenges herself every single session. Even on the days when energy is low and fatigue is high, she still finds a way to get the work done — and that consistency has pushed her forward in a big way.

Julie recently took on the Stronger Before the Holidays Challenge and came out on top for Most Lean Muscle Gained, while simultaneously dropping her overall body fat in just 4 weeks time. That result is a direct reflection of her focus, discipline, and willingness to stay locked in even on the tougher days.

Beyond her own progress, one of Julie's greatest qualities is how she brings a steady, driven energy into the gym that quietly elevates everyone around her. Her actions set the tone, and her consistency raises the bar day in and day out.

Congratulations, Julie! We’re proud of everything you’ve earned through your hard work — keep at it!😎💪

P.S. for anyone who hits the sauna… you can thank Julie for always making sure it’s ready to go for after 😉🔥

Happy Thanksgiving from Philosophically Built

Today I am grateful for the people who make PB more than just a gym

The early morning grinders
The evening warriors
The parents showing their kids what commitment looks like
The friends who push each other a little bit farther
The people who walked in wanting to get healthier and ended up getting stronger in more ways than one

Thank you for being part of this community
Thank you for trusting us with your goals
And thank you for showing up even when it is not easy

Enjoy today
Be present
Eat well
Laugh a lot
We will be here when you are ready to get back after it

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃💪

Client Spotlight - Bailee Marotta

She came to me determined but tired of starting over.
We set the target: break 200 lbs.

She showed up.
She trusted the process.
She pushed through the days she didn’t feel like it.
And now…
She officially crossed into the 100s.

Not just lighter,
but refreshed, confident, and ready for the next mission:
➡️ 180 lbs and beyond.

Proud of you.
This is what momentum looks like.
One goal down.
Next one loading.

🏆 Member of the Week: Adam Kies 🏆

Adam works hard week in and week out, always showing up early and ready to go. He consistently challenges himself with heavier weights, pushes his limits every workout, and never leaves without a sweat. Oh — and of course, he makes sure the sauna’s heated up for after 😂.

Roughly over a month ago, Adam battled through a low back injury but handled it exactly how you should — by taking the necessary time to rest, recover, and come back the right way. Since then, he’s been right back to doing what he does best: challenging himself every session and leading by example.

Beyond the personal progress and muscle gains he’s made, Adam brings incredible energy to the gym. His dedication and effort naturally inspire those around him to push harder too. He’s living proof that with consistency and discipline, you can balance a busy family and work life while still prioritizing your health — and make some serious strides doing it.

Congratulations, Adam! Keep up the great work — we see you! 🫵😎

Congratulations to our newest Member of the Week Guinevere!

Consistency builds champions and G is proving it every single week.

She’s not only been training hard in the gym, building muscle and strength, but she’s also preparing for a half marathon while crushing miles on the bike. That level of balance and discipline is rare and inspiring to everyone around her.

When she’s not running, lifting, or biking, she’s pouring that same dedication into her bee hive business. 🐝 The hustle is real and if you’re looking for the best honey around, she’s the one to go to.

We’re proud to have her as part of the PB family. She’s a reminder that with consistency and commitment, you can train hard, chase goals, and still thrive in life outside the gym.

Keep going, G!! You’re raising the bar for all of us. 💪

🎉 Strong Together! 🎉

Please help us congratulate Mary Kay and Cassandra, a powerhouse mother and daughter duo who just crushed our 6 Week Program at PB! 💪🔥

Not only did they show up and put in the work day after day, they inspired everyone around them with their consistency, teamwork, and energy. Watching families come together to train, push limits, and grow stronger is what makes PB so special.

This is more than just fitness, it’s about building habits, creating memories, and showing what’s possible when you commit to yourself and support each other.

Amazing job, Mary Kay and Cassandra! 👏👏👏
Your PB family is proud of you and we can’t wait to see what you conquer next!

Endure to Overcome. 💥

📈 2025 has been a year of growth for Philosophically Built.
This year wasn’t just about adding new rooms or systems — it’s been about laying a strong foundation for the future of PB.

✅ Our new Elite Hybrid Room opened, giving our athletes even more opportunities to train at the highest level.

✅ We launched the Recovery Lab, complete with contrast therapy, to help our community push harder and recover smarter.

✅ We invested in new systems to improve the client experience, so every member feels supported from day one.

✅ We’re training new coaches to carry the mission forward and take on the growing workload.

✅ I’ve personally invested into new coaching for myself and the PB leadership team to sharpen our vision and ex*****on.

✅ And early next year, we’ll be in Las Vegas for a coaching conference — learning from the best so we can bring even more value home to PB.

Building something new requires two things:

➡️ Being present in the moment, pouring into the work right in front of you.

➡️ And keeping one eye on the future, trusting that the foundation you’re building will one day unfold into something greater.

I couldn’t have taken nearly a full year to push forward without the people standing next to me in this picture. This team has carried the vision, the mission, and the workload with me every step of the way.

🙏 Thank you to each of you — and thank you to the PB community who continues to believe in what we’re building. The best is still ahead.

Endure to Overcome.

– Blake

CONGRATULATIONS Barb for being our Member of the Week!!

This is what it looks like when someone decides to show up and put in the work. You started back from scratch, rebuilt step by step. Now you’re not just back, you’re stronger, more balanced, and more capable than ever. That kind of progress doesn’t happen by accident. It’s proof of your consistency, grit, and refusal to quit. You’ve been crushing it, and it shows in every movement, every rep, every day you walk in.

But beyond the strength and freedom from pain, what matters most is you. The effort you’ve poured into yourself is changing your life, and I couldn’t be more proud to see you step into this version of yourself. Keep going Barb! You’ve already proven you’re unstoppable!!!
