Some of you may have already seen this from her page. These were never meant to be a post, just form check videos she was sending me. She asked for a new program and told me not to go easy. I didn’t. She lifts heavy, works hard, and is still very feminine and aesthetic. Strength and femininity are not opposites. This is what the work actually looks like.

Why Strength Training Matters for Young Male Athletes
Teaching control, confidence, and strength that lasts.
Strength training for young male athletes is about more than lifting heavier weights. It’s about learning how to move well, control their bodies, and build strength the right way. Not ego lifting or doing what someone else is doing just because. It’s about finding the purpose.
Many boys want to jump straight to maxing out or copying what they see online. Often, the first thing I need to do is protect them from that inclination. That’s where good coaching matters. Strength training should start with proper movement, technique, and consistency before adding load. When that foundation is built, strength comes safely and naturally.
But the biggest benefit goes beyond sports. Strength training teaches discipline, patience, and confidence. Young athletes learn that progress comes from effort and consistency, not shortcuts or one rep maxes.
Strength training is not about ego. It is about preparation.
For sport. For life.
Building strong and confident young men. 💪

Not the glamorous side of owning a gym, but one of the most important.
Swapped out all the cables on one of our machines today. It’s easily one of the jobs I hate the most when it comes to equipment maintenance, but it also makes one of the biggest differences.
Smoother reps, better feel, and most importantly, safer training. Ever been cut by a fraying cable? 😬
Ours weren’t fraying, just starting to wear, and I like to stay on top of things before they become an issue.
All set and ready for 2026.

Why Strength Training Matters for Young Female Athletes. Teaching strong not skinny.
One of the biggest things I’ve seen over the years is how quickly strength training changes the way young female athletes see themselves. Not just physically, but mentally. When girls learn to move well, lift with good technique, and realize they are capable of real strength, something shifts.
Strength training teaches athletes to focus on what their bodies can do instead of what they look like. That matters for athletes and non athletes alike. The gym becomes a place where effort matters more than appearance and progress is measured by confidence, control, and consistency.
Getting stronger improves performance and plays a major role in injury prevention. When coached correctly, youth strength training is safe, effective, and appropriate. It is not about lifting heavy for the sake of it. It is about learning proper movement, building a foundation, and progressing at the right pace.
Beyond the physical benefits, strength training builds confidence. Watching a young athlete realize they can do hard things never gets old. That confidence carries into sports, school, and everyday life and lasts long after their athletic career ends.
The goal has always been simple. Teach good movement. Build real strength. Create an environment where kids feel capable and supported.
Strength training is not just preparation for sports. It is preparation for life.

Amazing way to finish a short week. This might not be the gym’s last small group of the week but it’s probably mine unless I roll in Friday and we do something fun or completely impromptu. Tonight was awesome and it’s fun my wife can jump in with my kids. Small group. Big effort. Zero excuses. These ladies absolutely killed it and brought the energy from start to finish. Grateful to end the week like this. Thank you! 💪

A quick meal idea now that things will be fine to get busy with Christmas meals and gatherings. Danelle made this and it was super fast and a great example of how you don’t need complicated meals or “diet food” to stay on track this time of year.
Lean beef nachos with a big side salad.
Nachos
Corn chips
Lean ground beef
Lettuce
Green onion
Tomatoes
Cheese
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Salad
Your favorite leafy green mix
Tomatoes
Carrots
Cucumbers
Croutons
Lite honey mustard
Optional add diced avocado
Fast to make. Filling. Tastes good. Leftovers are great as well. Happy Tuesday! 💪

Tonight turned into an extra large group because I combined a few sessions so nobody missed training this week. And WOW… what a group.
I was sweating just as much as everyone else and it was an absolute blast. I got a little tripped up on the order of a couple programs I wrote but I recovered fast and everyone straight up CRUSHED it.
One of my favorite parts was seeing our 4 year old jumping in and getting after it. Kids really do live what they see and she did incredible right alongside everyone else.
This is what makes Mondays fun. Community, effort, chaos in the best way, and people showing up ready to work. Happy Monday 💪

Monday reminder
Do something hard this week.
Something that scares you a little.
Something you do not think you can do.
Strength is built one rep at a time and confidence follows. Let’s crush Monday! 💪

Between games today I got this text from another client.
Different goal. Different season of life. Same process.
Consistency. Strength. Doing the work over time.
So proud of this young lady! 💪

Out of town at my daughter’s soccer game and I randomly get this text.
This is why I coach.
Not just weight loss or inches lost.
Better health. Better labs. Feeling good.
And still living life. Amazing and not only is my daughter’s team winning and her training showing up on the field but I get this on a beautiful Saturday morning! 💪

Flex Friday! Pulled this little hit from the newsletter we put together for this morning. Some serious strength showed up in the gym this month. Six of our strongest hip thrusters lined up for this one and the numbers have been wild. Repping in the 300lb range and a few pushing toward 400. This crew has been on fire and it has been awesome to watch. 💪🍑
