REVGYM & FIGHT-U WEEK OF 07.01.24

REVGYM & F.U. TRIBE -

Last week was tough… and so many of you showed up and faced that mountain! Good on you! let’s keep that momentum!

I know it’s hot out… doesn’t matter.

I know summer schedules can flip your “gym time” upside down… can’t matter.

Business travel, vacations, holidays, all a normal part of our lives…

If YOU MATTER, (which you do), these things can not, will not, be obstacles that keep you from getting the work in you know you want, need, and ultimately, must have to continue on your path.

It’s easy to get the work in when your gym time just fits nicely into everyday life…

But are you committed enough to MAKE TIME when it’s really easy to blow it off cuz
”WHATEVER”?

Implement a plan when summer, heat, vacations, holidays, all hit… you plan the rest of your life, do not make your time for you secondary “just because”…

We “MAKE TIME”… the thing we can’t do is go back, or get time back… it’s in the moments of trial, hardship, facing adversity, digging in that time will exponentially be on your side… the results WILL show!

Trust the process!

Trust your training!

Trust yourself!

Let’s GET SOME this week Tribe!!!
