We recently formed the Blue Collar training group at the gym
for adult guys. These guys are ex-athletes or guys looking to get in great
shape using the methods our athletes use at PSTS. Within the last year, only a handful of
people trained with us that weren’t athletes. I don’t believe in doing anything
halfway so adding a bunch of random groups filled with random people with
varying goals just to gross a few more dollars wasn’t going to happen
at PSTS. The demand has been there for a while and I had to wait until the time
was right to kick it off. I love helping anyone who is serious about getting
results in the gym and taking control over their life so I was really looking
forward to the day to get this rolling. We started over a week ago with 8 guys.
This group may look different from the outside looking in,
but they all have the same goals. Get in better shape (get stronger, lose fat,
build muscle), train to be awesome with a group of dedicated individuals, have
fun, and learn how to do a few new things (the right way) while they’re at it.
We have guys of all ages and from different backgrounds but they all come
together to kick some ass. These workouts have already gotten to be pretty
intense and are fast-paced. No time for useless chatter. Zero distractions as
everyone is on the same page. Have you ever trained in a gym where guys
want to chat more than train? It sucks. It's ineffective. Then they wonder why they aren't making progress. These guys aren’t wired like that.

This group is going for 10-weeks and they train twice per week
at the gym. They were given other workouts to perform on their own. Performing
these extra workouts is highly stressed as we’re after lasting changes- not
some quick fix. You’re either committed to making a change or you’re not. It
hasn’t even been two weeks yet and guys are already saying how they are moving and
feeling better. Feeling more spring in their step when they walk and aren’t
getting as winded doing simple tasks.
Some of these guys are fathers so helping them to feel
better to do things like play with their kids, or improve their health to
exemplify living a healthy lifestyle, is awesome and very rewarding. Some other
guys are younger and looking to shed some fat and build muscle. They are
learning new (and EFFECTIVE) ways to train that will be with them for the rest
of their lives. No more going to the gym and not knowing where to begin, what
exercises to do, how to do a lift, including all of the other intangibles that come
with training.
Above all else, ALL these guys are building up the mind and
embracing what being a man is all about- stepping out of your comfort zone,
pushing yourself to the limits, never quitting, and being there to support
those around you.
Looking forward to this journey with my team!
