One of our coaches at RxFIT, Matt Welch, decided that he wanted to be a firefighter back in 2017. In order to set himself apart from other applicants, he started to take his training seriously.

But he thought that being super fit wasn't going to be enough. So he decided to create a YouTube series of his training leading up to the fire academy and use it as his resume. Four years later, he has graduated from the academy and now firefights in Sandy city. He continues to coach at RxFIT on his days off at the RxFIT-Draper location.

We have plenty of military and service members at RxFIT--Army, Marines, Police, Firefighters, etc. If you need to get in better shape for your job, follow Matt's example. Check out his first video of what training at RxFIT looks like here:

The Spartans were feared and revered for their strength, courage, and endurance.

The power of the Spartan army did not come from the sharpness of their spears, however; it came from the strength of their shields.

Losing one’s shield in battle was considered the single greatest crime a Spartan could commit.

Building, developing, and sustaining deep relationships is comparable to grabbing your shield. Not only does it offer yourself better health, but it does the same for those around you.

Extreme Ownership is at the core of this principle. Thinking, reading, writing, and planning (without distractions) are four ways of taking back your agency and deliberately deciding what happens in your life.

Bodybuilding was once focused on health.

At the turn of the 20th century, “proponents of physical culture were trying to find new ways to promote healthy lifestyles... Tired of the overweight strongman image with its lack of emphasis on correct eating and high body-fat levels, they were looking for a representative who could promote the chiseled physique, and the subsequent ways of achieving this look.”

From 1890-1930, the sports of powerlifting, bodybuilding, and olympic weightlifting broke off from strongman. At the time, bodybuilding was considered the “crossfit” of its day, using contrarian training methods made famous by Eugene Sandow (father of bodybuilding). Even at bodybuilding competitions, wrestling and gymnastic athletes would put on displays of “health and fitness” by competing in the same venue as the bodybuilders. The focus was on health.

It wasn’t until the mirrors got installed that bodybuilding turned away from health and on to mass-at-all-costs.
