Val Voboril is a top pick (and Krav Maga badass). She’s our top pick. #teamvobril

Team PrettyStrong Update:

You can and SHOULD watch them lift live here. Reminder: The USAPL Coaches Course Certification is coming to CFSQ on August 17th. The course is open to anyone. If you’re interested in getting certified, shoot us an email.  The gym will be closed that day.

MVMNT Striking tomorrow morning at 10:30am with Mario!!

Keep sight of what matters.
Every now and then you are struck by athlete envy. Why can they lift that already? How are their times so fast? Why can they bang out a MU on day 1?
To be honest, it doesn’t matter.
You are you. You are battling you. You are trying to lift heavier than you.
You are trying to be faster, stronger, smarter and healthier than you.
You have embarked on the never ending task. The task that can never be checked off for the easy way doesn’t help you beat you, it helps you stagnate at best.
Stop looking at the grass wishing your side was greener. Focus on you, your accomplishments, your victories, your ups and downs.
Focus on the work that you need to do to get where you want to go – ignore the rest.

MANY MANY THANKS to Juan Banda and his team!! They are giving the gym a face lift today. Please be cautious when entering and exiting the gym today.
