We coach normals how to be We're known for the challenge as well as the support. Anyone can "break" you but not everyone can BUILD you.

Our trainers, our schedule, our programming, and our support is about meeting you where you are TODAY and coaching you through the process of where you want to be. We all have a different starting point and that's not something that intimidates us. We don't expect anyone to be anything but themselves from day 1. It's our job to coach form as well as make everything ACCESSIBLE. This place is not about exclusivity. We are about INCLUSIVITY! Bring YOU here and we've got the rest covered!

It’s not “sucking in the belly button or belly button to spine.

In fact, forget the belly button all together and find your ribs!!!!

THE SET UP

1. Ribs stacked over pelvis.
2. Inhale wide into your sides - feel the ribs pull apart, not the shoulders moving up

EX*****ON

1. Exhale CLOSE your ribs. Think ribs down and in, rather than belly button back.

* body stays relaxed and soft when learning to nail the breath work.

** keep the trunk strong when under any load

Before you (continue to) pick the fanciest, “newest”, hardest and most complicated core work, are you nailing the basics?

If these things aren’t happening on the floor, guarantee you they’re not happening in that “side plank star fish thing-a-madigie” you may have done earlier this week and why your core just isn’t ever getting stronger and the belly stays poochy.

See y’all Sunday for a little LPF class where we don’t do anything fancy but we sure as hell get things right 😘😘

When someone says “dead bugs are like too easy” and can they please and thank you have “advanced core work” I’m placing all bets that they haven’t even scratched the surface of actual core work.

Of course not every dead bug is about creating maximal tension.

But in studio when our folks ask for “more core work” they’re usually asking to target tension in their abs.

Which I’m completely down for and adore watching much of our crew pull up their tanks and t’s to 👀 what’s happening underneath.

Because your outer abs can be hard but your TVAs “the deep core” barely engaged.

You dome, bread loaf, pull your abs away vs together bc you’re not managing the internal pressure

Done right … these suckers will challenge ANY athlete w very few reps.

If youve been to Sundays LPF class, I know you recognize a lot of these cues from class. 🥰😘😘

Exactly 2 weeks ago the was the “shiny new object”

Motivation was high because novelty provides a dopamine hit to the brain.

Reality check: This week the drug wears off.

And while sometimes quitting is exactly the right choice for many folks it’s A PATTERN!!!

“Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.” - Angela Duckworth

📢 And Endurance is built HERE: at the friction point.

- when you’re not feeling fresh as a daisy
- when you’re feeling inconvenienced
- when you’re still sore from last week
- when YOU JUST DONT WANNA!!!!!

Don’t worry about day 30.

Worry about today, your headspace around motivation, the patterns you know you need to break.

Stop giving yourself reasons to bail and keep telling yourself, NOW it’s a challenge… and today - it just got good!

Gym geometry because if you’re trying to drive growth to a particular area, body mechanics matter.

The relationship between the torso, hip, and knee CHANGES the percentage of work given to the lower body.

Red:
Torso is about 40 degrees above horizontal. It is pitched forward and the pelvis is pushed back about 80 degrees from an upright position.

Purple:
The torso remains more upright about 60 degrees above horizontal. The hip is pushed back about 50 degrees leaving her center of mass farther forward on the quads.

📢 Neither movement is incorrect per say.

CONTEXT MATTERS!!!!

If you just wanna lift things. Cool. Have fun in the gym picking things up and down.

If you are frustrated because you put effort in the gym but can’t seem to develop better glutes or thighs then getting nerdy is fun.

THE HARD TRUTH:

You’re not too old to build muscle.

But maybe…

Your form sucks.
Your programming sucks.
Your consistency sucks.
You’re training scared.
You’re coasting, not striving.
You’re fasting when you should be fueling.
You’re changing workouts before your body has a chance to adapt.
You forgot uncomfortable is part of the equation.

And then you’re blaming your age for the lack of results.

🤷‍♀️

Getting older doesn’t mean you need to train less.

It means you need to train better.

Better form.
Better programming.
Better progression.
Better recovery.
Better fuel.

We don’t need to beat the hell out of our body.

But we DO need to give it a reason to become stronger.

Don’t train like you’re fragile.

Start training like you’re building a body that’s capable of handling more.

That’s the goal.

Not invincible.

Capable.

Unpopular belief: Sustainability is earned through unsustainable effort.

If you’re afraid to try because “it’s not sustainable” you’ve gotten really good at protecting your ego.

I’m all for routine, a healthy lifestyle, and workouts that fit into a busy life but DAMN -

I know for a fact your best term paper was written 3 days before it was due.

And that You organized your house the week before the big party you’ve had planned for 6 weeks!!

Pressure produces focus, forces decisions, and prioritizes our actions.

So what if you can’t dedicate 72 hours every week to organizing your house! You still reaped benefits past the party.

I know many can’t sustain 20 sessions in 30 days for a lifetime but are you srsly unwilling to try because you’re gonna only get 18 or 16?

Are you telling me you won’t benefit internally and externally from pushing yourself into those 16 or 18?

…That the drive to prioritize yourself won’t push you into a sustainable better in the long haul?????

Get outta here!

is unapologetically what it is - PRESSURE.

It’s hard.

Rents due. Step into the arena. Succeed or fail under fire. Both are better than protecting your ego.

Winners quit … the right things… all the time.

It might be a temporary quit or a permanent one but any new big ass goal requires time, energy, bandwidth.

Our most beloved challenge begins September 1 (members email coming Thursday!) - THE .

It requires 20 in studio sessions in 30 days.

Every FINISHER gets a prize (I gotta special one this year 🥳 too!!!) and it’s not because I believe participation requires an automatic reward.

It’s because CONSISTENCY is hard AF.

You have a career. You have active and involved children. You are needed every day and all the time.

The challenges you to
- ask for help (you’re not great at that)
- say no to staying up too late or that second glass of w**e that will make you feel like 💩 in the morning
- pack your bag to train after work when all you wanna do is veg.

And yet - the - remains the event our humans get the most excited about.

ITS HARD.

But it’s structured. It aligns with how much they value getting stronger and it provides “the excuse” they’ve been waiting for to PUT THEMSELVES back on the priority list.

If you’re not a member we will have a special 30 day pass for you so stay tuned and I want everyone to start thinking …

What will you need to quit in order to have room to succeed???

You can’t always come first but damn, do you have to disappear?

I get it.

The schedule. The responsibilities. The school pickup. The meetings. The groceries.

And the gym can feel like another project to manage. Another thing demanding more from you.

I never would have fallen in love with training if I had to plan my workouts, decide what to do next, choose my weights and coach myself.

Y’all, I fell in love with the gym two decades ago when I stopped being the project manager.

I showed up.
My program was ready.
I was coached.
I was watched.
I was challenged.

The gym became a place where others POURED INTO ME.

And wow… that changed the game.

Twenty years later, I’m an expert in the gym, programming for a roster full of others and I still outsource my own training to another coach.

Because I refuse to let my strength and health turn into a burden.

I matter. I count. I need people to pour back into me, too.

Maybe you do, too.

You don’t have to come first every day.

But you don’t have to delete yourself completely.

Book your bestie. Come somewhere that pours into you.
