What looks like a warm-up is actually where a lot of the magic happens.

In Varsity, we use these moments to build coordination, awareness, and confidence — not just break a sweat.

For teens (13–17), this program is about learning how to train with purpose:
• Strength that supports performance
• Movement that prevents injury
• Coaching that builds confidence over time

Every athlete is guided, corrected, and progressed based on where they’re at.

Mondays & Wednesdays | 4:00–5:00 PM

If your teen is ready for structured, coached training — this is the next step.

2,000+ classes.

Let that sink in for a second.

Doc Disc didn’t get there with one big push or a burst of motivation.

He got there the same way all real progress happens—by showing up. Again and again.

Through good days, tough days, and everything in between.

At this year’s Empower Gala, we had the chance to recognize that kind of consistency. And honestly, it’s hard to put into words what that means to this community.

Doc Disc, you set the standard. We’re lucky to have you.

👏👏👏

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into a routine, this is your reminder: It all starts with one class.

Spirit of the Open 💛

Every year, we recognize one person who truly embodies what the Open—and our community—is all about.

Our most prestigious award, 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻, is nominated by Open participants. It goes to the person who supported, inspired, and lifted others up the most.

This year, that person is 𝗛𝗛𝗛.

And in a first for Empower… 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝘄𝗼-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿.

From the moment she walked through the doors—with posters, pictures, and scorecards in hand—you could feel it. The energy. The excitement. The care.

She didn’t just participate in the Open—she built it.

Organizing behind the scenes. Judging. Cheering. Dressing up. Creating spaces for connection. Making sure everyone felt included.

She is the reason this year’s Open was what it was: inclusive, fun, and unforgettable.

HHH, you didn’t just represent the spirit of the Open—you elevated it (again).

We are so grateful for the time, heart, and energy you gave to this community.

💛 Thank you for everything.

The 2026 Empower Awards Gala was one for the books 🎉

From 5-year milestones to 2000+ classes, and a well-earned (and historic 👀) Spirit of the Open win—this day was all about celebrating the people who make this place what it is.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring it together behind the scenes—and to everyone who showed up, dressed up, and made it special.

This is what community looks like ❤️

This throwback clip from Coach Hard Rock is still 🔥

While this exact workout isn’t on the schedule right now, the points she covers here apply every time back squats show up:

✔️ Get below parallel
✔️ Stay tight at the bottom
✔️ Drive your knees out
✔️ Keep your chest tall

Small adjustments like these make a big difference—not just in performance, but in staying strong and injury-free over time.

If you’re not sure what “good form” feels like, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

If WOD Father could start over… he wouldn’t start with a barbell.

In this week’s Weekly Wisdom – Episode 37, he shares what he’d do differently—and why most people jump too quickly into loaded movements before building the foundation.

Instead, he’d focus on 4 simple (but not easy) pillars:
• Squat holds
• Hanging
• Get-ups
• Crawling

These movements build the strength, mobility, and awareness needed for long-term progress—and fewer injuries along the way.

It’s not the most exciting path. But it’s the one that works.

If you’re feeling stuck, dealing with aches, or wondering why progress has slowed, this might be the reset you need.
