Our youth program here at SFT is full of some studs‼️

These young ballers have been mastering the fundamentals of sprinting, jumping, and lifting and the work is paying off for each and every one of them. They are consistently sprinting faster, jumping higher, and moving more weight as the weeks go on and it has been awesome to see all of their hard work pay off😤

It is tough to find a group of kids who are this dedicated to reaching their athletic potential, but here at SFT each kid in our youth program is fully bought in on becoming the best version of themselves they can be💪🏻

We can’t wait to see where all of their hard work and dedication takes them in their futures👊🏻

BIG TIME SHOUTOUT to one of your 6AM rockstars, Sandra Garcia‼️

We love having Sandy around Strength For Today and can’t wait to see her continued progress!!🥳

Carter Wieser (Taft, All-American Bulldogs⚾️) made the transition into the high school group a couple months back and has been attacking his training ever since😤💪🏼

Carter is a Strength For Today OG!! He started out in our youth program all the way back in early 2025. Since then, Carter has seen a steady progression & is really hitting his stride as he enters 8th grade🙌🏼

Since making the bump up to train with kids who older than him, Carter has shown a maturity and dedication that is rare for someone his age😤. He’s an incredibly hard worker and gets the most out of every session he attends📈

Keep up the great work Carter, we’re excited to see where this hard work takes you‼️

This one has been a long time coming🙌🏼

Brittany Hausmann is SFT’s August member of the month‼️

Brittany has been a STAR at Strength For Today for just over a year now and just yesterday completed her 200TH session!! That’s 200 hours of committed training to create a stronger, healthier future for herself🤯👏🏼

Not only is Brittany an incredibly hard worker, but she is a positive light in the small community that is being built at Strength For Today. She’s always quick to encourage those around her and is constantly putting a smile on everyone’s faces. 😁

Proud of you Brittany, and we love having you as a member‼️🙌🏼

Emmitt Wondaal (Illiana Christian 🏀⚾️) is SFT’s August athlete of the month‼️

Anyone who has paid attention to our stories or l spent any time in our athlete sessions this month will not be surprised by this one. Emmitt has seriously dedicated himself to the grind not his this month but all summer long.🙂‍↕️📈

This guy is committed to the process and the results and stacking up by the week. It’s evident when we watch him during the sessions: not only is he putting on muscle, moving more weight and displaying more power, but the attitude shift is also clear as day.

Emmitt always has a smile on his face or is cracking a joke, but never at the expense of hard work. He’s a grinder and we can’t wait to see his hard work pay off on the hardwood this winter🫡🙌🏼

Spent a lot of time on this one, hope y'all enjoy!

The Similarities Between Money Management and Fitness

In full transparency, I’ve sat down to write this blog no less than a dozen times, and every time I’ve done so I’ve gotten overwhelmed and inevitably decided to switch topics. I’m now always the greatest wordsmith, but I’m going to try my best to keep this easily digestible by emphasizing ...

Teri Danner is one of the hardest workers you’ll find in Northwest Indiana😤💪🏼

Teri has been a member as SFT for well over a year now and the progress she’s seen is truly insane. She’s the model of consistency and that consistency has lead to some SERIOUS gains👏🏼

Teri works a full time job AND is a full time mom to two boys, but she won’t let that get in the way of her health & longevity. You can find her at SFT twice a week grinding at 6:00am to take care of herself.

We can’t wait to see her continued progress!🙌🏼

Lyla Finn (St Mary’s 🥎🏀🏐) has been on a MISSION the past couple months😤

Lyla joined SFT mid-July and has made some serious strides since she started. Lyla is a serious worker and the results are showing👏🏼. She’s moving more weight with better form and is starting to learn some more complex training techniques.

Lyla is a determined young athlete. No challenge we throw her way seems to phase Lyla, which is a big reason why she’s seen such BIG progress in such little time💪🏼

Keep up the great work Lyla, we’re excited to see your continued progress😁📈

BIG TIME shoutout to the man who makes this place run, Bill Vree!!🫡

Bill (for those who are unaware, Bill is the actual owner of Strength For Today) has been a committed attendee of SFT for almost two years now!! This guy is seriously disciplined - you can catch him every Tuesday and Friday at 7:00 absolutely dominating the weights 😤👏🏼

Bill recently set the goal of being able to do 10 perfect pushups and is now approaching that goal. He shows determination every time he steps foot in the building and we can’t wait to see what he’s about to accomplish next💪🏼

Emmitt Wondaal (Illiana Christian 🏀⚾️) has been a force here at SFT all summer long 😎

Emmitt has seen his most consistent block of training this summer and has seen tremendous growth. The important measurables are there: he has packed on muscle, he’s moving more weight with better form & is looking more powerful & explosive by the week📈🚀

In addition to all that, Emmitt’s fierce mentality & determination continues to show. He’s got the mental makeup of someone ready to prove himself and compete at the next level. As he enter the fall of his junior year there’s no doubt in my mind that Emmitt will keep this train rolling and be fully prepared to dominate the hardwood this winter.

Keep up the great work Emmitt, we’re proud of how far you’ve come!
