There’s a Better Way. Transform Your Body. Live Your Life.
The reality is, if you’re serious about your transformation, you’re going to need education, guidance, and accountability with your nutrition—because what we put IN our bodies is just as important (if not more so) as how we MOVE it.
And hey, we’re completely aware that most “diets” demand drastic change, are difficult to maintain, and the positive results disappear much quicker than they appear.
This is the base of every level of our nutrition coaching. Pro Coach is a year-long, skill-based approach to finally achieving the results you’ve always wanted.
+ Monday motivation email
+ Short lessons delivered to your own personal webpage 5-6 days per week
+ Daily skills updated every two weeks
+ Workshops to check in on how you’re doing
+ Accountability to keep you on track
+ Weekly review email
+ Weekly online check-ins from your very own nutrition coach, Megs Gucwa
Over time, you’ll figure out exactly what works for you, as well as what doesn’t, putting YOU in control of your nutritional lifestyle.
Your coach will be there to help, guide, support, answer your questions, and coach you step-by-step through your journey.
All of this for just $89 a month!
Includes everything in Pro Coach, plus:
+ Three weekly online check-ins, kicking your accountability up a notch
+ Individual in-person sit-down with coach Megs every two weeks!
+ Two personal (1-on-1) workshops with coach Megs (you pick the workshop, but ideas include a kitchen makeover, grocery store strategy session, meal prep workshop, etc…) throughout the year
All of this for just $289 a month!
We can’t wait to guide you on your transformation journey!
It takes the full spectrum of exercises, intensities, and training methods to develop true, hybrid fitness (which is what we all need for full lives and longevity.)
⚠️ KETTLEBELL SWING FIX 🧰
Team squat or team deadlift?
Yeah, it’s Beyond Strength.
Stop over complicating things.
Creepy mustache Chris hopes that you have just the best possible weekend.
We just finished up recording the latest nutrition Q&A episode. It’ll hit Spotify and YouTube real soon.
Don’t have the wrist or shoulder mobility to barbell front squat? Try these puppies.
Struggle with nutrition?
18 different exercises.
Check out this sweet hip airplane exercise… and get the answer to the question we’ve all been wondering. 🤔

@mlgalata FINALLY got her new Nike Metcons for passing the Black Level.
Training this way is designed to keep you in the heart rate zones that train for improved cardiac output. That means it’s training your heart to pump out more blood with each beat. Your muscles get more oxygen and nutrients as they work. Low-intensity endurance work also increases your capillary density, which improves oxygen and nutrient transfer, and develops mitochondria. Mitochondria, as the Magic School Bus taught us all those years ago, are the powerhouse of the cell. The more mitochondria, the more energy working muscles produce over time. As a result, your aerobic capacity improves. Meaning that your aerobic energy system produces more energy for longer periods.
How do you train your legs?
3 solid rucking tips that’ll keep you healthy and performing:
Maria kicks a&@ in the gym, and she’ll whoop your a&@ on the pickle ball court.
We hope you sidestepped all the bullsh*t on this fine Monday.
Get off the g*ddamn sidelines and live your life.
Kick ass. Fist bump. Repeat.
Here we have a solid 10-second montage of @ajmoore01 kicking ass.
It’s called the certainty session because, well, we give you certainty about the next steps in your training to reach your goals.
As the Earl of Sandwich once said, bitching about Monday is like peeing on your feet and hoping they don’t get wet.
Something funny happens when you focus on the process instead of the outcome. You make more progress over the long term. You deal with life as it happens, and you engrain behaviors that allow you to accumulate wins over time. And you have a better shot at actually achieving the outcome you’re after.
Push-up Challenge!
How’s our free intro work?
Get on up, get on up!
Slide on into the weekend.
We did this emo senior pic photo shoot just to tell you that we’re releasing a new podcast about running the Rock n Roll Half-Marathon.
No free class? That’s right.
Zen and the Art of the Goblet Squat.
Be like our friend Jim.
Our homegirl Masha was kicking ass during that session, but Todd noticed that she had running shoes on while deadlifting and it was causing some instability.
There was a time when grip strength and general work capacity were built by daily life. Men, women, and children all carried things, heavy things, because it was necessary. Milk needed to be brought in, hay bails needed to be loaded in the wagon, and slop had to make its way to the pigs. But today, in suburban America, we don’t have to do any of that shit. In fact, there are few physical things that we have to do – to our benefit and our detriment.
What type of people train at Beyond Strength?
A lot of people miss progress when they see it…
You can’t just squat, bench, and deadlift. You have to do getups (like Tiff, Brad, and Jim in this photo). You need to lunge, twist, pull, etc.
You can’t just run. You need to bike, hike, row, etc.
You can’t just go slow, you also gotta go fast.
The inverse is also true.
Lasting fitness that drives you to perform today, and for the rest of your life is built on a foundation of all fitness qualities, starting with strength, mobility, and endurance.
You just need a smart training approach to develop your body the right way.

That’s Beyond Strength.

Most of us are set with level one (especially the first two habits).
If we’re confused at a lack of desired results, check in with level two and bring those findings back to level one.

For most folks, it’s much easier to get to the gym consistently and train hard than it is to be consistent with nutrition.
If that’s you, we’re here to help ya out.
Tomorrow (Thursday April 18, 2024) we’re recording an episode of the Beyond Strength Show answering your nutrition questions.
Drop your nutrition question(s) in the comments section.
You could ask about protein, calories, meal composition, tracking, etc.
Whatever your questions, we got you covered.
Drop them in the comments 👇🏻

1 set.
20 reps.
It’s spicy. It supplies a juicy pump.
It’s a crowd favorite.
And it builds muscle and muscular endurance.
You oughta come try it.

We joked with her for months that she had to pass twice to get both shoes.
We are what the kids call “buttholes.”

During week 3 of each training program, we take on a challenge as a gym.
This month we did as many push-ups as possible in 2:00.
Folks could modify as needed by elevating their hands.
All that was required was to see what you had in the tank! 💪🏻
Best for the women was 61 reps (not modified) by @mlgalata
And for the men was 83 reps (not modified) by @mr_branco_

She was rocking back and forth while lifting instead of keeping her feet planted firmly on the floor.
Running shoes are a bad option for lifting.
We’re releasing an article soon that explains exactly why and what shoes to wear instead.

At the detriment end of the spectrum, we’ve lost grip strength and general work capacity, two things we need to live the fullest possible life, and two things that stave off early death. That’s right, grip strength is a predictor of mortality. Life is awesome. We want everyone to live a long, full life. Beyond Strength programming in general helps you do that. But sometimes we must get specific and address specific holes in modern life. Endurance A does that.
The carry ladders during Endurance A build grip strength by simulating work we would have all done in rural life in times gone by. We carry things that vary in weight from light to heavy, just like we would during a day’s work. Not only does this build grip strength, but it also builds work capacity by keeping our entire body under tension for an extended period.
