From 2010 – 2022 I ran a gym called the Cave.
It wasn’t on a main road and I didn’t advertise.
People who wanted results found us anyhow.
It was like my 2nd home.

One of the main things I focused was mindset.
All our athletes had to watch this video by by Jocko Willink.

On the front door of the Cave was a sign that said , “This is a no whining zone!”
When someone came to check out the Cave, I would tell them, “If I have to motivate you, you don’t belong here.”
They had to bring the fire when they walked in the door.

The regulars knew to never walk and and say, “I’m so tired” or “I’m so sore”, even if they were.
Everyone was tired and sore, but they did the hard work anyway because they had discipline.

Everyone made solid, measureable, ongoing gains.
The results always follow the work.
