We’re hiring!

We are looking for an experienced trainer/coach with evening availability.

The position is at our gym in Sterling, VA.

Gotta hang with the right people if you wanna make progress.

Don’t let the bitch about Monday crowd pull you down.

You pay attention to your body, you learn about your body, you use your body. To live physically, a person must understand their physicality.

To understand your physicality, you must live in your body. In doing so, you’ll understand when to push and when to hold back; you’ll learn the difference between pain and discomfort.

You’ll understand what your body needs at a given time because you’ve paid attention to how it responds to training, to nutrition, to rest.

Your body is a vessel for experiences – for triumphs, for defeats, for growth. You act accordingly and with that understanding.

You dare to live by choosing challenges that make you commit, act consistently, and grow.

There will be days when your motivation fails you.

There will be others when you’re tempted by the incubus or succubus of seductive, short-term pleasure at the expense of long-term gain.

If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, you’ll plop your ass on the coach during those days without motivation.

You’ll choose the easy pleasure over the harder good when tempted.

If you don’t know why you’re doing what you’re doing, dreary days might knock you off track. You’ll let your feelings get in the way of your commitments to yourself.

Your progress begins and ends with making a commitment to yourself, one that’s meaningful and gives purpose to your actions.

It’s the fuel you’ll need for doing it over and over again even when you don’t feel like it.

It’s the fuel you need for consistency.

May your week be as good as bicep vein.

Congrats to our Beyond Strength Coaches on becoming Certified Functional Strength Coaches this weekend! Great work and !

What’s saying here? Wrong answers only…

‼️New Program on Monday!💃🏻

Today we met as a staff to dial in on coaching the next training phase.

There are some new spicy twists in this one. 🌶️

and coach (Cory) are pumped to coach you through this program.

Wanna get started on this training phase with us and not yet a Beyond Strength member? Click the link in our link tree to schedule your free intro.

You’re not getting faster and you’re not able to go for longer. Your endurance has plateaued. You’re consistently training, and you think you’re doing the right things to improve. But you aren’t? What in the heck gives?

It might be that you’re chasing exercise feelings while skipping out on the most important aspects of endurance training. Expect to learn how to avoid following your feelings into the “messy middle” of training intensity, what aerobic capacity training is and how to do it, and when to add in aerobic power training.

Put the lessons in this article to good use, and you’ll bust out of your endurance plateau.

4 Reasons Why Your Endurance Plateaued - Beyond Strength You’re not getting faster and you’re not able to go for longer. Your endurance has plateaued. You’re consistently training, and you think you’re doing the right

Ben came here to kick ass and…well…actually he only came here to kick ass.

And he’s kicking a whole lot of it.

More shots from yesterday’s Kettlebell Mile Challenge!

Thanks so much to for coming out and providing us with such great food for after the challenge.

The arepas were delicious! If you’ve never had one, follow and stop by their truck. You will love them!

Thanks to everyone that made it out for the second annual Beyond Strength Kettlebell Mile!

You ladies and gents kicked ass and showed some grit.
It was badass to watch!

More photo dumps and reels to come!

We’re pumped to see everyone at the second annual Beyond Strength Kettlebell Mile tomorrow!

Let’s do some hard s**t then eat arepas!

Please do not let the paleness of Chris’s legs scare you off.

If you’re looking for a sign to kick Monday right in the chest, here it is.

We hope you’ve spent your week training hard so you can live physically this weekend.

If you’re wandering who farted…

First, you need to know that we just recorded a podcast on running workouts and how we like to sequence them for hybrid athletes.

It’ll be out by the weekend.

Second, it was Chris.

Get your hands on Monday and grip it up hard.

journey to the U.S. from Venezuela is a gripping story.

He told it to during the most recent episode of the Beyond Strength Show.

It’ll be out on Spotify and YouTube this weekend.

Look Monday right in the eyes and stand up with something heavy.

You’d need 40 fingers to count all of the wise and tuned in statements that makes during the most recent episode of the Beyond Strength Show.

Cory has transformed his life and his body with training and nutrition.

But it hasn’t been a walk in the park and he didn’t see immediate success.

Listen to his story wherever you listen to podcasts.

Tomorrow we’re dropping a video that’ll make remember portion sizes real easy for ya.

It’s you with you.

Not you against you.

Yes, we all want to be better than we were yesterday.

But we have to work with ourselves as much as we compete with ourselves.

And if we’re not totally onboard, we aren’t going anywhere.

Set standards that you want to beat.

But remember that beating them is an act of self-negotiation, not self-flagellation.

Happy Monday.

What is hybrid athlete training?

Our new podcast that defines it and teaches you how to become a hybrid athlete is live on Spotify and YouTube…and pretty much anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

What is hybrid athlete training?

Well, if you’re a Beyond Strength member, you’re already doing it (in one form).

and break it down for you in the newest episode of The Beyond Strength Show. (On Spotify and YouTube soon.)

They also lay out example training weeks and talk about how to get back into running.

Keep those eyes peeled, folks.

It takes the full spectrum of exercises, intensities, and training methods to develop true, hybrid fitness (which is what we all need for full lives and longevity.)

You can’t just squat, bench, and deadlift. You have to do getups (like Tiff, Brad, and Jim in this photo). You need to lunge, twist, pull, etc.

You can’t just run. You need to bike, hike, row, etc.

You can’t just go slow, you also gotta go fast.

The inverse is also true.

Lasting fitness that drives you to perform today, and for the rest of your life is built on a foundation of all fitness qualities, starting with strength, mobility, and endurance.

You just need a smart training approach to develop your body the right way.

World class training programs

World class coaching.

That’s Beyond Strength.

Yeah, it’s Beyond Strength.

But you gotta get strong before you get beyond it.

That’s why we lift heavy on Mondays.

Stop over complicating things.

Most of us are set with level one (especially the first two habits).

If we’re confused at a lack of desired results, check in with level two and bring those findings back to level one.

Word? Word.

Creepy mustache Chris hopes that you have just the best possible weekend.
