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

Most “training” is just random workouts thrown together. That’s why most people don’t get real results.
Train like you have more than one finish line.
“All in” is overrated. Try “never out.”
Jess gets it… 💪
Strength doesn’t happen by accident.
No gimmicks. No BS. Just training that actually works. It’s Beyond Strength.
:10 hits different with high intensity continuous training. 😮💨
🤫 The secret mindset that unlocks success
The goal of training isn’t to stay in the gym forever.
Have trouble finding where your knee goes during the get up?
Work when you’re supposed to work. Rest when you’re supposed to rest. It’s just 5 reps at a time.
Mark your calendars 😎
Ever set a goal… only to realize later it wasn’t really your goal?
“Man, this is a brain teaser. I don’t know if I’ll ever get all these steps down.”
No pain face! It’s a half-joke I often say when I’m coaching a difficult class at the gym. Whenever I see someone smushing their face in discomfort, I say it to them and remind them to relax their face. It seems silly, but the faces you make have a direct effect on your mental state. If you maintain a calm face, it’s more likely that you’ll remain calm. If you make a stressed-out face, it’s more likely that you’ll feel stressed out. So, while deadpan might not be the most attractive look, it’s the best one for a successful eustress training session.
Personal Values: Ideas or beliefs that a person strongly holds and that drive and guide their actions and goals.
Forget the fleeting thrill of a “great workout.”
You can do it, out your 🍑 into it. Between Strength A and Resilience B, @itsbeyondstrength members have a lot of opportunities to sling some bells around this month. So, let’s review the 6 steps to make sure we’re doing them correctly.
😁I hope your workout leaves you as happy as Dirk on this fine Monday!
How open are you to that inner voice??
“I’ve been going to Beyond Strength for the past 6 years, and I can confidently say it’s the best gym in the area. Unlike other gyms, Beyond Strength focuses on strength, mobility, and endurance in a way that feels sustainable and energizing. This is NOT CrossFit—you won’t feel completely gassed out by the end of a session. Instead, you’ll walk out feeling stronger, refreshed, and more motivated for your day.
Get ups are back this month!
You don’t need a secret training hack.
Tick-tock ⏳
So, whatcha gonna do?
“You have power over your mind – not outside events.” - Marcus Aurelius
Struggling to turn your band assisted pull-up into a real one?
You don’t train to live in the gym.
“It doesn’t matter how successful or unsuccessful you are right now. What matters is whether your habits are putting you on the path toward success. You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results. [If you’re a millionaire but you spend more than you earn each month, then you’re on a bad trajectory; if your spending habits don’t change, it’s not going to end well. Conversely, if you’re broke, but you save more than you spend every month, then you’re on the path toward financial freedom—even if you’re moving slower than you’d like.]” - James Clear
Your training doesn’t have to be complicated.
Nobody owes you a thing—not results, not praise, not progress.
Wonder where your arms should track on dumbbell bench press?
If your training were a movie, would you be the hero or the extra?
Excuses are like shadows.
Imagine meeting the future version of yourself who didn’t quit when things got hard.
At Beyond Strength, we plan your entire year of training—so you can:
✅ Build a real foundation of strength & endurance
✅ Make consistent progress without burnout
✅ Train smarter, not just harder
If you’re tired of spinning your wheels, we got you.

It’s to unlock the strength, endurance, and grit to say “yes” to the hard, meaningful things in life.
Every session is a step closer to that.
What’s your next “yes”?
When learning the get-up folks tend to overreach with their knee…
… or under-reach with their knee.
Here’s a quick fix using an agility dot (or whatever landmark you want to put down).

Thinking about things in totality provokes anxiety. For example, if you think about cleaning out the entire mess of your garage, you’re likely to feel overwhelmed and avoid it. But if you just start with one aspect, say, that you’ll just organize the lawn equipment, you’re more likely to get started. And once you get started, you’re more likely to keep going. This is a mental skill called segmentation, and it works for eustress training. Rather than thinking of the full-time prescription, focus on the set you’re doing. Ask yourself, what must I do to be successful during this set? Then do that and keep doing it until time’s up.
(more info to follow)
Here’s a question that can help cut through the noise:
✨ If a miracle happened while you were sleeping and when you woke up, your goal(s) had already come true—but you didn’t know it yet—what’s the first thing you’d notice was different?
As a follow-up, what would that mean for you? What would you do?
This isn’t just a fun thought experiment. It’s a way to uncover whether your goals actually align with what matters to you—or if they’re just expectations you’ve picked up along the way.
At the gym, we see it all the time: people chasing goals they think they should want, only to realize they don’t actually care about them. But when you start with why, which is rooted in your values, everything shifts…
That’s what one of our newer members said last night while working on get-ups. And honestly? That’s how almost everyone feels at first.
But then—somewhere between the reps, the struggle, and the “wait, what comes next?”—it clicks. Suddenly, you’re standing up with serious weight, moving like it’s second nature.
The key? Breaking it down. Master the pieces, and the whole thing comes together.
So, bringing back this reel to help you get there. Watch, practice, and trust the process.
Bonus: if you can smile and feel happy during a eustress session, like the one we have on this fine Monday, you’ll pile on more emotional resilience.
Personal values are about action, about living, not just about nice thoughts and nice ideas about who we are and what the world might be. Values must be embodied and acted on, otherwise they are nice ideas, not values. That’s the pivotal difference between value (worth) and values (actions worth taking).
That brings us to the two most important verbs in the definition: drive and guide. Values drive our decision making and our actions. But they also guide us at times of uncertainty or when we’re about to act out of alignment with who we want to be. We lean on our values in times of strength and clarity — they inform our actions to help us create the future we want. And we lean on them when we’re about to disregard the person we know we’re capable of being.

What matters is the (sometimes) boring, steady work that builds resilience.
Results aren’t found in quick highs—they’re earned in repetition.
🤔 And if it doesn’t… why haven’t you scheduled your free intro at Beyond Strength yet??
The programs written by Chris and Todd are exceptionally well-structured. They put so much thought into building workouts that not only challenge you but also help you build consistency and long-term progress. The emphasis on proper technique and mobility ensures that you stay injury-free while achieving your goals.
If you’re looking for a gym that prioritizes smart training, community, and results, Beyond Strength is the place to be! It has truly transformed the way I approach fitness, and I can’t recommend it enough.” - Jasmin Nirwal
Initiating the get up tends to trip up a lot of folks. Or should we say… sit up…? 😉
But, it’s NOT A SIT UP, friends.
The first quarter of the get up is a ROLL and a ROW.
Give any one of these drills a try to FEEL what we mean…
You don’t need a special supplement.
You just need to stop skipping Mondays.
Every excuse you make is time wasted.
Every choice you avoid is an opportunity missed.
How much longer are you going to wait to take control?
You can’t control what we write on your training program, and you can’t control the truth that many of the workouts will make you seriously uncomfortable. Sometimes the discomfort is that of going slow. Other times it’s the very real burn in your legs and lungs. No matter the situation, all you can control is your response to it. You can lean into the discomfort and tell yourself that you’re fine. Or you can let it seep into your mind and overwhelm you. You have the power to manage it well.
Try this…
Now—at Beyond Strength—we don’t do these until you can:
… do 2 sets of 8 inverted rows from a 30 degree starting position, with 2:00 rest between sets,
… straight arm 2-hand hang from a pull-up bar for 1:00,
… and perform TRX Level II pull-ups for multiple sets of 8 reps.
Nailing those? Okay, now REALLY try these!
You train to unlock the strength, endurance, and mobility to say “yes” to the hard, meaningful things in life outside these walls.
What’s your next “yes”?
Happy Monday.
Simple works:
• Lift
• Carry
• Condition (run, row, bike, …)
Do the basics well, and they’ll take you further than you ever imagined.
But the moment you stop waiting for it, you take control.
We gotchu…
Heroes show up. Heroes do the work.
Be the hero in your story this week.
Happy Monday.
They disappear the second you step into the light.
What would they say to you now?
Probably something like, “Keep going. You’re closer than you think.”
