Hybrid House

ONE MORE MEP.

It's never really about one more MEP.

It's about showing up on the days you don't feel like it.

It's about staying accountable when motivation fades.

It's about choosing movement over excuses.

It's about your teammates counting on you.

Over this 6 week challenge, there will be days when you're 50 MEPs short and ready to call it. That's the moment this challenge is about. The moment you choose to keep going.

Walk the dog.
Take the stairs.
Hit a workout.
Join Strike.
Jump into Heartcore.

Find a way.

Because the people who finish this challenge aren't the fittest people in the room. They're the people who keep stacking effort day after day.

And when you're ready to quit?

One more MEP. ❤️🔥

Nobody accidentally finishes a HYROX.

You don't accidentally run 8 kilometers.

You don't accidentally push a sled when your legs are screaming.

You don't accidentally crush wall balls after nearly an hour of work.

You prepare.

You practice.

You suffer a little in training so race day feels familiar.

That's why HYROX Thursdays are coming to The Yard.

Every Thursday we'll be building stronger runners, stronger athletes, and stronger humans through race-specific training that prepares you for whatever challenge is ahead.

Expect:
🔥 Sleds
🔥 Running
🔥 Erg work
🔥 Carries
🔥 Conditioning
🔥 Strength
🔥 High fives after questioning your life choices

And the best part? You'll be coached by athletes who have stood on HYROX podiums and helped countless others do the same.

ONE MORE MEP CHALLENGE IS BACK. 🔥

Our One More MEP Challenge returns August 3 with the launch of our new training block.

This is more than a heart rate challenge. It’s an accountability challenge, a team challenge, and a chance to reignite your spark inside and outside the gym.
Here’s how it works:

● Teams of 3
● 18,000 MEPs as a team over 6 weeks
● Every finisher earns our coveted One More MEP shirt—with a brand new colorway every year.

To sign up:
● Lock in your team of 3.
● Text your team name and all three team members to 562-719-1597 by 5:00 PM on July 31.

Don’t have a MyZone monitor?

No problem! A MyZone heart rate monitor is required to participate because it’s how we track your MEPs (MyZone Effort Points).

Purchase yours by July 17 by texting 562-719-1597.

Whether this is your first year or you’ve done it before, this challenge always brings out the best in our community. Push each other. Stay accountable. Celebrate the wins.

One more MEP. ❤️🔥

🔥 DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT 🔥

Ever finish a set and think, "I had a little more in me?"

That's where drop sets come in.

A drop set is simple: perform a set close to failure, reduce the weight, and immediately keep going. Then, if programmed, reduce the weight again and keep working.

Why do we love them?

✅ Increased muscle-building stimulus
✅ More quality work in less time
✅ Pushes muscles beyond what a traditional set can achieve
✅ Helps recruit additional muscle fibers as fatigue builds
✅ Creates the kind of effort that drives adaptation and growth

Here's the reality: muscles don't know how much weight is on the bar. They know tension, effort, and fatigue.

Drop sets allow us to extend a set safely and effectively, creating the challenge your muscles need to grow without requiring maximal loads.

They're also a great way to learn what true effort feels like.

Most people stop when things get uncomfortable.

Drop sets teach you that there's often another gear available.

That's exactly why our next training block, DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT, will feature strategically programmed drop sets throughout the cycle.

Expect:
🔥 Serious pumps
🔥 Higher training volume
🔥 Increased muscle-building potential
🔥 A new appreciation for what hard work actually feels like

Because sometimes the fastest way to grow is to lighten the load and keep fighting.

The next block starts soon. Are you ready to drop it like it's hot?

NEW TRAINING BLOCK DROPS // AUGUST 3 💧

Drop it like it’s hot. 🥵

We’re turning it up with:

• Drop sets
• Landmine training
• More plyometrics
• Athletic movement
• Strength that actually transfers to life

More power.
More muscle.
More intent.

Same coaching.
Same community.

A whole new challenge.

Who’s ready? 👀🔥

One of the most overlooked parts of health and longevity isn't a workout, a diet, or a supplement.

It's connection.

We live in a world where it's easier than ever to be connected digitally and harder than ever to build meaningful relationships.

That's why community matters.

When you find a group of people who support you, challenge you, celebrate your wins, and help carry you through difficult seasons, you protect that.

You invest in it.

You show up for it.

You make time for it.

The best communities don't survive because they're convenient. They survive because their members actively participate.

They attend the events.
They stay after class and talk.
They celebrate each other's victories.
They create memories together.

This July, we have more community events than ever because we believe strength extends beyond the gym floor.

Every workout makes you stronger physically.

Every connection makes you stronger as a human.

Come to the bonfire.
Join the celebrations.
Meet someone new.
Be part of something bigger than yourself.

Community is one of the few things in life that becomes more valuable the more you invest in it.

Hold it close.

A great gym isn't built with barbells, squat racks, and fancy equipment.

It's built with people.

The people who know your name.
The people who cheer when you hit a PR.
The people who notice when you've been gone and are excited when you come back.
The people who remind you that you're capable of more than you think.

Community doesn't happen by accident. It happens when people consistently show up, connect, support one another, and spend time together both inside and outside the gym.

That's why we believe events matter.

Bonfires.
Workshops.
Competitions.
Celebrations.
Coffee hangs.
Photo contests.

These moments create something bigger than fitness. They create friendships, accountability, and a place where people genuinely want to be.

Strength is important.

But having people to share that journey with? That's what keeps most people going when motivation fades.

This July, make it a point to attend an event, introduce yourself to someone new, and invest in the community that's investing in you.

Because the strongest gyms aren't built on workouts.

They're built on relationships.
