Today we’re having a tough conversation👀

We’re all chasing new skills. Whether it’s your first pull-up, muscle up, double under, etc., the reason you haven’t gotten it yet is usually the same. You either haven’t accumulated enough quality reps, or you don’t have the strength base (yet!).

Reaching those skills can be frustrating and time-consuming, but we’re here to help🤝

Check out our latest blog post to learn how you can reach your next skill. It’s not as complicated as you think!

h a p p y 🥳 b i r t h d a y

Kate, thank you for always reminding us to see the best in people, and for always bringing such a positive attitude each day. We love you and hope you have the best day with your family on your trip!☀️

Happy Monday, friends!🤩

Today we’re covering why your warm ups matter and why you should take them seriously! At The Gym, our warmups are intentional. Our warmups help with preparing your body to increase blood flow to muscles, raising your core temperature, activating the right muscle groups, and mentally preparing you for the workout🫡

We get it, sometimes the warmup can feel like “extra” work before the actual workout starts. There is a purpose, and if you stay intentional, it adds up more than you think!😎
