Welcome to Trained for a Great Life

Speaker 1

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trained for a Great Life . I want to talk about something that came to me that I think makes our gym outlaw feel like so much more

What Makes Outlaw More Than a Gym

Speaker 1

than a gym . There's a few different things , and I think I've had realizations over the years of what they are , because it's not just the barbells and it's not the workouts and it's not even just the physical results . It's that you just get to show up and be yourself . Let me unpack it In so many areas of life , we wear labels , sometimes proudly and sometimes heavily .

Speaker 1

Sometimes proudly and sometimes heavily . You're a manager , a parent , an entrepreneur , the guy that everyone goes to with the answers , or the woman who's expected to always

Leaving Labels at the Door

Speaker 1

have it together . But when you walk into Outlaw , the labels they don't matter . Here You're not your job title , you're not your family history , you're not the expectations of other people that have been placed on you for years . You're just you moving , breathing , sweating and growing .

Speaker 1

There's something incredibly freeing about that and I've seen it hit people in totally different ways

Finding Liberation Through Community

Speaker 1

. For example , for someone who's in a very high powered position , maybe they're a CEO in charge of a large business or a huge region of a company , the person who's always in charge , right Allah , becomes a place where they don't have to lead , they don't have to be the expert , they just get to be coached , supported and challenged . That shift can be very liberating . There's strength in being guided , in learning again , in letting someone else care about your progress . On the flip side , maybe someone is very early in their career , maybe no one's really expected all that much from them before and they're being told you have what it takes . Suddenly there's a coach who says hey , you're capable of more , you're stronger than you were six months ago . There's a community of people cheering them on , showing up , reminding them that they matter . That kind of belief , it's fuel and it helps people see themselves differently , more clearly and more powerfully .

Speaker 1

What I love most is that everyone at Outlaw , regardless of their background , finds common ground in

The Magic of Outlaw

Speaker 1

the work . We're doing something hard together . No one's above it , no one's beneath it . You could be lifting next to someone who's been running a multi-million dollar company for 20 years , or someone who's fresh out of school , or someone who has sort of raised a family , been raising a family and finally found time for themselves . In that moment , you're just two people pushing through a workout , breathing heavy wondering if you can kind of keep going and encouraging one another . That is the magic , that is community and that is outlaw . Just come as you are . We have a spot for you . I will see you in the gym .
