THIS WEEK: creeping the weight up into the 85-90% range but protecting form and getting more out of each set with cluster sets.

🏃‍♂️Expect a lot of erg training in your HYROX classes over the next several weeks until the weather breaks and we can all get back outside to where we really want to be for our runs.

🔥 TOMORROW, Monday 2/2, we ARE planning on running all classes per the normal schedule (reserving the right to pivot if something goes sideways last minute)

Please use extra caution when driving in and get here safe. Warm weather you will thank cold weather you for continuing to train through the sucky months.

SO PROUD of these two. They came to us just 8 short weeks ago with big goals for their Phoenix HYROX race. Every week, for 8 weeks, they have worked closely with Coach and dedicated 5-6 training days per week to their custom HYROX cross training program. They never missed check ins, strength sessions or runs…even over the Christmas holiday. And this morning all of their effort paid off. Hitting their personal goal and finishing at 1:18.

Now looking forward to watching our men’s pro athlete on Saturday!

For over 15 years, some of and ‘s favorite memories have been training and competing side by side. The gym became their date night, where they grew together, and the place they learned to take on hard things together. The strength they built there has shaped how they face life’s challenges. That experience now fuels one of their primary missions at Workhorse: helping other couples build stronger bodies, stronger bonds, and stronger lives.

But don’t just take their word for the benefits that come from training together, the proof is literally in the research...

A study published in the JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS found that couples who exercise together reported:
✅ Better mood during workouts
✅ Better mood throughout the day
✅ Higher relationship satisfaction
✅ More adherence to a training program

📚Sackett-Fox, J., et al. (2021). Exercising with a romantic partner is associated with greater positive affect during exercise, higher daily positive affect, and increased daily relationship satisfaction compared to exercising without a romantic partner. Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, November 2022

A study in PubMed reports;
Research with married couples shows that joint health behaviors, including exercising together, are linked to greater health satisfaction, fewer depressive symptoms, and closer similarity in health outcomes between partners.

📚Wilson SJ, Novak JR. The Implications of Being “In it Together”: Relationship Satisfaction and Joint Health Behaviors Predict Better Health and Stronger Concordance Between Partners. Ann Behav Med. October, 2022

💥 To support this mission, Workhorse is introducing a special Couples Membership Monthly Unlimited rate of $139/pp for as long as both athletes have active membership.

Please reach out to info@workhorsestrengthandconditioning.com if you’re interested in joining at this special membership rate.

🗓️ COMING UP THIS WEEK:

Q1: Benchmark Assessments

📢 Important notes: we’re not JUST assessing increased loads.
✅ Greater range of motion is also progress.
✅ More control and stability through the lift is also progress.
✅ Less compensatory patterns is also progress.
✅ More confidence in the lift is also progress

❌ Working to a heavy single not for you this quarter? No problem. Our coaches can also give you equations to figure out your 1RM based on a heavy two or three rep range.

❌ Don’t want to go as far as a heavy three, also not a problem. We’ll have you work in regular moderate to heavy reps and sets schemes.

Just show up. And we’ll meet you where you want to be.

‼️ Also, there will be coffee, muffins, and charcuterie treats on Friday after training sessions. Who would miss that?!

Everyone should experience the training method—whether as a standalone focus or as a powerful complement to your strength program.

But if your goal is to compete in an actual event—and perform, not just finish—where and who you train with matters.

⁉️Key questions to ask:
1️⃣ Is the coach HYROX HQ–trained and certified, with ongoing continuing education?

2️⃣ Has the coach competed in multiple official HYROX events—and performed well? Experience matters.

3️⃣ Does the facility have official HYROX equipment (Concept2 SkiErgs and rowers, competition-length turf, comparable sleds, wall ball targets, etc.)? These details will matter on race day.

4️⃣ Is run programming provided by qualified, experienced coaches, if at all?

5️⃣ Is there access to—or a partnership with—a certified sports nutritionist for training and race-day fueling guidance?

If you answered no to any of these, you’re not setting yourself up for optimal success.

Anyone with a fitness foundation can train, race, and have fun.

But there is a difference between doing fine and having fun vs. training, performing, and placing like an experienced HYROX athlete. 🤌🏼
