In this episode of Beyond the Short-Term, we break down why Strength Warehouse members are achieving their fitness goals and sticking with their routines long after others have given up. We kick off by exploring a staggering industry stat: the average gym-goer lasts just over three months. Unlike other gyms that rely on contracts to keep people paying, we focus on keeping our members engaged and progressing. With an 18-month average stay, our members are not just joining—they're building a sustainable, rewarding fitness journey. We then dig into why most people quit early: an industry full of fad workouts, big-box gyms with no support, and a lack of structure. Without a clear plan, progress tracking, and real guidance, many people feel lost, unmotivated, or think they're “done” after hitting a single goal. At Strength Warehouse, we do things differently. Our coaching model is built on three key principles: helping members define their goals, creating a tailored plan, and measuring progress regularly. This simple approach is powerful, and it's keeping our members moving forward, achieving results, and thriving in the long run. Lastly, we talk about how we truly connect with our members through real conversations about consistency, prioritizing health, and the long-term benefits of strength training. This support not only drives better results but helps our members feel more fulfilled and committed to their fitness journey.

This week's theme is consistency. It's crucial to focus on measurable progress because what isn't tracked over time cannot be assessed. Forget about the latest tricks or magic pills. Instead, get into the gym and master the basics. This approach, often referred to as virtuosity, has been the cornerstone of my fitness journey. For those who have followed my story, you know I wasn't always strong, fit, or particularly skilled in physical sports. Through years of dedication and unwavering consistency, I've built significant strength. The weight you see in this video used to crush me every time. I attempted this exact lift five times in competition and failed each time. But now, I'm hitting it for a single and probably even a double with ease. My point isn't to boast or draw attention to myself. Instead, I want to highlight that consistently doing the basics, over and over, is the true key to success.

In today's episode, we peel back the curtain on the often overlooked aspect of coaching—coaches themselves need coaching. As both a coach and a business owner, I've learned through 15 years of self-coaching and an enlightening experience from hiring my own coach five years ago. This journey reminded me that even as leaders, we benefit immensely from the camaraderie, accountability, and motivational push that comes from participating in group workouts and working alongside other coaches. We also discuss the power of simple commitments. Phrases like "I'll see you tomorrow" or "Are you coming to the workout tomorrow?" play a crucial role, especially on days when motivation is scarce. These aren't just words; they're commitments that help us and our clients stay on track. For those looking for a motivational boost or needing help setting new fitness goals, we offer personal goal reviews—don't worry, 100 burpees are not part of the signup form! Our conversation shifts to the nuts and bolts of achieving lasting fitness results. Consistency isn't just about showing up; it's about adhering to a well-structured plan that covers all fitness bases: Engage in 2-3 strength training sessions each week to build muscle and boost metabolic rate. Incorporate 3-5 days of walking or rucking for cardiovascular health. Include 2-3 varied cardio sessions weekly to improve endurance. Additionally, we talk about the importance of prioritizing nutrition as our bodies and needs evolve. We explore efficient strategies like batch cooking and smart snacking—simple yet powerful ways to maintain energy and avoid overeating. This episode is filled with insights into why continuous, everyday choices, far more than sporadic efforts, are the true building blocks towards achieving your fitness goals.

Welcome to the "Go Heavy or Go Home Podcast". In today's episode, we explore the power of mindset in overcoming challenges and pursuing change. Starting something new? It's all about shifting your mindset. Say yes to the task ahead and learn to say no to other things to make room for growth. Change can be tough. Our brains resist it because it's unfamiliar. But recognizing this resistance is the first step to avoiding old habits. Know your why. It's not just about setting goals; it's about understanding why those goals matter to you and your life. Imagine yourself as the person you want to become. Embrace this new identity to face challenges with strength and determination. Remember, progress is key, not perfection.
