FITNESS FOR ACTIVE PEOPLE
Intelligent fitness so that you can dare to do more.
So you know you’re using proper lifting form.
Taking the guesswork out of fitness.
(WE GUARANTEE IT)
You expect to see objective, undeniable results for the work you put in.
We agree.
That’s why we offer a Results Guarantee.
Any gym in the world can create a satisfaction guarantee, which is really just them banking on the fact that most people will be too uncomfortable to speak up and say they aren’t “satisfied”—whatever that means anyways.
What about something real? What about results?
No gym is crazy enough to guarantee results, right?!
We are. And we do.
If you attend at least 85% of your allotted sessions and don’t see at least 3 objective improvements in strength, endurance, mobility, and/or recovery in your first 90 days, we’ll pay the first three months at a gym of your choosing.
Kick ass, move mass, get stronger
High Intensity Intervals that get your heart pumping
A big pump workout that builds muscle like armor
Cardio training that gives you all day energy

It is our sincere wish that you take on the physical challenges in 2025 that help you grow in all aspects of your life. Happy New Year! Kick some ass in 2025.
It’s the final Monday of 2024. It’s time to BELIEVE you can do more in 2025.
The goal of the plank is not to flex our torso, like a sit up, but to maintain position. Gravity is trying to force our lower back to arch, but we resist.
Zero fun, sir.
What are you committing to in 2025?
Here’s how our clients get results at Beyond Strength:
Want a killer 2025? Start by asking yourself good questions before the end of 2024 👉🏻
Consistently good beats occasionally great.
Flashback to isometric interviews when we asked people who were already uncomfortable, uncomfortable questions!
Knowing your big picture is the best way to care for yourself.
A Note on Self-Honesty 👇🏻
A lot of people miss out on progress…
True readiness to take on any challenge or activity requires well-rounded training, not just a relatively active lifestyle.
Whatever the challenge, can you say yes?
Blast off.
Looking for a cardio workout to do this weekend that won’t bore the absolute sh*t out of you?
Instead of just listing nice ideas…👉🏻
Our mission is to prepare you, to train you, and to inspire you to live physically.
Get more out of your strength training!
Comfort is a slow death … 👉🏻
Exhale. Squeeze the weights. Do another rep.
Everything’s easier when you’re strong.
We got your winter mojo right here 👉🏻
Comfort leads to complacency.
How do you get the best possible training results?
Think power training only for athletes? Think again 👉🏻
Your challenge is YOUR challenge.
Not sure how to set your feet for squatting?
Want to do double sessions? Check this out 👉🏻
Consistently good beats occasionally great.
Put hard stuff on the calendar and do it with great people.
You read it right…
It’s important to remember your successes.
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it on this fine Monday, is to seek a challenge. Find one damn thing today and push yourself with it more than you usually would. That’s a simple one, right? Question is, will you do it?
We’re all human, we’ve all let comfortable negligence take something from us – or keep us from getting something that we wanted. Comfort leads to complacency. Complacency leads to loss or to never having.
Happy Friday!
Sure, the core is able to flex forward and bend and twist, which all has its place, but controlling our torso is key.
Why?
Because when performing an exercise in the gym, whether that’s a deadlift, squat, or lunge, we must maintain position as we move; not only for safety’s sake, but to produce the most force. No core stability means we’re not in the best position to be successful. For example, rounding your back while deadlifting is not only less safe, but you will produce less force in that position.
These “walk” variations are a great way to… step up (😉)… your static plank game.
We use planks in a variety of places throughout our programs:
➡️ as part of a power circuit before our main lifts
➡️ during a mixed modal aerobic circuit (see last wednesdays post)
➡️ mixed into our assistance work after our main lifts
And no, not all of those at once…

If you don’t have anything on the calendar that fills that tummy of yours with butterflies, it’s time to fill in some dates with some hard shit you plan to do.
Commitments make training decisions easy. You know you have to do the work or you’ll get your ass kicked.
They also narrow training priorities so you do the right work at the right time.
So, what’ll it be?
Take some time on this fine Monday to either get something inked on the calendar or to put some ideas down in pencil that you can ink on the calendar before 2025 gets too old.
✅They’re consistent
✅They embrace the uncomfortable pace…which is often slower than what the influencers want you to believe
✅They seek challenge
✅They roll with the punches
✅They have a short memory and move on when things don’t go as planned, and for their successes…the show goes forward!
If you’re the kind of person that likes how those values sound, click the link in our profile and schedule your free intro.
Progress beats perfection every day of the week…especially on Monday.
Show up and do the damn thing today; don’t wait for perfect conditions.
Happy Monday.
Have yourself a nice weekend!
You can’t bullsh*t yourself and expect to make progress.
Radical self-honesty is necessary, otherwise you end up stagnating or going backwards.
And you won’t take the uncomfortable action you must to continue moving forward and getting results.
Tell yourself the truth and get after it this week.
Happy Monday.
Because it dresses in dirty clothes and looks like work.
But so many people “take it easy on themselves” and think they’ll just be able to do the thing when the time comes.
Or they hit their 30s or 40s and start telling themselves that they’re getting older, not realizing that their mindset is slowly killing their body and spirit.
It’s unfortunate and it’s common.
If you want to stay ready, you have to prepare your body to stay ready with…
💪🏻Strength
And
🏃🏽♀️Endurance
Click the link in our profile to schedule your FREE intro and we’ll build the readiness you need to do whatever you want.

Can you kayak all day?
Can you do whatever you want knowing that your body is up for it?
Because if you can’t say yes, your training is failing you.
It’s time for a change. It’s time to join Beyond Strength.
We train people to say yes.
Click the link in our profile to schedule your free intro, and say yes.

Because life is a lot f*ckin cooler when you can use your body to do whatever it is you want to do.
Click the link in our profile to schedule your Free Intro and let’s get physical, not in like a weird way or anything. But with strength and conditioning.
Sure getting a pump is cool.
And we all want to be strong.
But the most important thing is how you use that strength when it matters.
You need access to your strength over time and as you build fatigue.
Extensive strength training gives you that.
But you need intensive strength training to raise your strength ceiling.
Without both, you won’t reach your strength and endurance potential.

That means showing up on Monday and taking what’s there even if you don’t feel like it, even if you know it won’t be a recorded setting day.
The only record that truly matters is how well you string together consistent training weeks, months, and years.
That’s how you get, and keep, results.
This shot is from our Kettlebell Mile Challenge in May.
@itsbeyondstrength members (and some very cool folks that aren’t yet members 😉) came out to see how fast they could cover a mile while holding a kettlebell in one hand.
We all had a blast and folks surprised the hell out of themselves with how well they did.
Sprinkling challenging events throughout the calendar year makes decision making easy because it sets your priorities.
Even if you don’t know exactly what to do (that’s where we come in) you at least have a direction to go and the ability eliminate the nonessential.
If you’re not sure how to set priorities with your training, put a commitment on the calendar.
Click the link in our bio to schedule your FREE intro and we’ll get those training priorities dialed in.

They prove you’re capable.
But it’s just as important not to dwell on them.
Have a short memory so you don’t become one of those people with a bad case of the used-to-coulds.
You don’t want to be that.
Because if you dwell too much on past success you don’t welcome in the person you could become through future accomplishments.
And you definitely want to meet that person.

It happens in relationships. Comfort causes us to settle in and assume the other person is getting what they need from us. We stop doing the little things that let them know we care. The connection dwindles. Sometimes it’s rebuilt, other times it fades away.
It happens with businesses. Owners and entrepreneurs get comfortable doing what they did to get themselves to a particular point. That comfort keeps them doing the same things over and over. Then they’re surprised when it stops working. The things that got them to the first level won’t get them to the second. But comfort blinded them to it.
It happens in training. People get comfortable with a training split and do it over and over for years on end. They make no changes, so they stop changing. Comfort stole their potential progress.
Comfort is a thief that steals from us a penny at a time when we aren’t looking.
