Muscle Mind Movement

At MMM, we make sure we over-communicate how exercises should and shouldn’t feel.

We like to push our members hard, but never at the expense of their health. We prioritize creating an environment where members feel comfortable speaking up about injuries, aches, pains, or simply when something doesn’t feel right.

After all, we’re here to IMPROVE, not regress.
Physical discomfort, fatigue, and soreness can all be normal parts of training. But there’s a big difference between challenging yourself and training through pain—and we never want our members to feel like they need to just “grind through it.”

That’s why feedback between our members and coaches is so important.

It’s also part of what makes our group training so specialized. At any given moment, you can look around one of our sessions and see members doing different variations of the same movement, or different exercises altogether, based on their training history, abilities, and current or previous injuries.

Group training doesn’t mean everyone has to do the exact same thing.

We put a lot of thought into meeting each member where they’re at, challenging them appropriately, and helping them get stronger in the safest and most effective way we can.

Tony worked three doubles on top of his regular work schedule this week. That’s 56 hours worked before walking into today’s class.

He actually overslept and missed the first 10 minutes. When he got here, there were no excuses. He jumped right in and got to work.

Here he is pushing 400 lbs (not including the sled) on a muggy day with the turf feeling extra sticky.

I generally don’t like glorifying “grinding no matter what.” Rest matters. Recovery matters. Sometimes the right decision is to take the day off.

But sometimes the conditions just aren’t perfect.

Sometimes you’re tired. Sometimes you’re stressed. Sometimes life gets in the way. And in those moments, the easy choice is to hit snooze or tell yourself, “It’s been a tough week.”

The people who continue to make progress aren’t the ones who wait until they feel motivated. They’re the ones who learn not to let their emotions make every decision for them.

Those small decisions, repeated over time, are what take you to the next level.

My dad turns 70 years old in November. He asked if I can make his exercise program more difficult after his birthday since he’ll have 70 years of training experience🤣

Choose your hard!!

One piece of equipment we hope never gets used.
Our AED has a new battery and fresh pads, so it’s ready if an emergency happens.

We’d rather focus on training, but preparedness matters. We’re proud to maintain an AED and help keep our gym safe.

Hopefully it never leaves its case!

Great opportunity today to learn some basic self-defense drills with professional fighter !

Thank you to Fernanda for bringing us through a fun and informative session! And thank you to the ladies today that came and brought the energy!!

Texting with my client that had a C-section less than 10 days ago…

There’s something really special about training clients through multiple seasons of life…especially pregnancy, postpartum, and everything in between.

I’ve now had the privilege of working with several women through more than one pregnancy, helping them train before, during, and after each one. And one thing that always stands out is this: no two pregnancies OR recoveries look the same.

The same person can have completely different experiences from one pregnancy to the next. Different energy levels. Different aches and limitations. Different recovery timelines. Different emotional and physical challenges.

That’s why training during these phases should never be one-size-fits-all. It requires patience, communication, adaptability, and understanding that progress may look different depending on the season someone is in.

One of the most rewarding parts of coaching is being able to support clients long terM. Not just for a few months, but through major life transitions. Watching women rebuild confidence, regain strength, and reconnect with their bodies after pregnancy is something I never take for granted.

Strong looks different in every phase of life. The goal is learning how to work with your body, not against it. 💙

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be hosting a Women’s Self-Defense Workshop at Muscle Mind Movement on Saturday, June 6th at 9:30am.

The workshop will be led by professional fighter Fernanda Araujo and will run approximately 60–90 minutes. This will be a great opportunity to learn practical self-defense techniques in a supportive and empowering environment!
This workshop would be valuable for all women, and we encourage members to share this with friends, wives, daughters, and family members who may be interested. This is an 18+ event. Ages 13-17 with parents or caregiver permission.
