GRIT Strength & Functional Training

The scale doesn’t get to tell the whole story. Swipe through to see some of the non-scale victories our GRIT members are celebrating.

For this first round, the answers were all different: a chin-up after a shoulder replacement, a box jump that felt impossible for months, 100 wall balls at HYROX, deadlifting more than bodyweight, wearing the shorts, building confidence, improving VO2 max, and doing things now that a few years ago didn’t feel possible.

We get to see a lot of the work that happens before these moments- the attempts, frustration, extra reps, and the days when something still feels out of reach. So when it finally clicks, we feel it too.

We are incredibly proud of every person in this first round and of the work behind each of these wins. Progress shows up in a lot of places that never make it onto a scale, and this is only the beginning of what we want to share. 🩵

What’s one thing you can do now that you couldn’t do before?

HYROX isn’t just about making the podium or winning a race.

What HYROX actually develops:

Running.
Strength.
Endurance.
Confidence.
Longevity.
Work capacity.
Not just race performance.

Quit Chasing Soreness

Somehow we’ve convinced ourselves that soreness is the goal….well....it isn’t.

The goal isn’t to see how much damage you can do in 45 minutes. The goal is to get stronger. You don’t get stronger during the workout. You get stronger when your body recovers from it.

Stop asking, “How sore am I?” Start asking, “How well am I recovering?”

Because soreness isn’t the goal. Getting stronger is.

Carol has been training with Staples for the last two and a half years. She comes in twice a week and is exactly the same every session… talking s*** before even getting started.

She makes us laugh, keeps us on our toes, and never misses an opportunity to give us a hard time. But when it’s time to work…she woooorrrrksss.

Which is exactly why she’s gotten so friggin’ strong.

We wouldn’t have it any other way.
So lucky to have her 🩵
