Many people ask me if training Underground is just for athletes.

“What if I license my own Underground Strength Gym? Is it just for athletes?”

When I started my gym, I actually trained anyone and everyone.

Athletes during the day and evening and general fitness peeps rolled up at night.

In my gut, I wasn’t happy training non-competitive athletes.

I was still using sleds, kettlebells, sandbags, bodyweight and an overall aggressive style of training.

Some of the bodybuilders next door stopped by for their trial and were getting their ass handed to them by middle aged women.

In my heart, I waned to train athletes and only athletes. I stuck with my gut instinct and shut down the classes for training general fitness and filled those time slots with athletes.

Fitness does NOT discriminate against age, gender, etc. – train who you want with the methods and tools that fit best.

Make sure you fully understand the needs of your clientele and how to safely progress them through your training style.

All of our clients go through training phases to safely progress them to our workouts which we post on dry erase boards on the gym wall.

And in the end, I feel everyone should be trained like an athlete – trained to move!

Peace!

One of the most common questions I get via e mail is, “Do I need a gym” to run my training business?

My FAST answer, “Hell NO!”

You don’t need a physicla location or a roof over your head when you get going.

In fact, if you live in an area with year round warm weather, you can easily get away with running your biz out of the trunk of your car, truck, van, etc.

I’m sure you’ll want more, BUT, it is VERY doable and can still be an awesome training biz.

I began from my Dad’s garage, and once I bought a house, still, most of the training I did with my athletes was performed outdoors in the backyard or at the local playground.

In the backyard we cranked all types of log training from the old cherry tree we cut down.

I had a rope hanging from the tree for rope climbing and a few sledge hammers to beat on the old tree stump.

Throw in some kettlebells and bodyweight training and our athletes were training like Rocky and feeling stronger, faster and more conditioned than ever before!

I had my trusty ISUZU Rodeo and could load up 3 or 4 sleds with a few sandbags and the local playground would be transformed into a area of physical culture – hill sprints, sled work, monkey bar hand walking, pull ups, leg raises, jumps onto the picnic tables and sandbag training.

Trust me, even I still miss those early days, and even my athletes who are still with me today talk of those days with a longing.

You can make it happen, regardless of your situation.

The difference is if you’re willing to do a little more than most.

Let me leave you with this quote:

“By doing just a little more than most,

you can make a lot more than most”

Peace!
