WHAT IS PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD?

If you want to get stronger, your workouts need to challenge your muscles over time!

Progressive overload is the gradual increase in demands placed on your muscles as your body adapts to exercise.

🏋️‍♀️ This can mean:
• Increasing the weight you lift
• Performing more reps with the same weight
• Adding another set
• Improving your range of motion or technique

The goal isn't to lift heavier every workout. It's to gradually challenge yourself while maintaining good form and allowing time for recovery.

Your body adapts to what you ask it to do. Keep giving it a reason to get stronger!

🔥 Train smart. Track your progress. Get stronger.

Your retirement plan should include strength training.

Time moves fast, and the years you spend neglecting your health can be hard to make up for later.

Muscle strength and mass matter for more than appearance. They’re associated with longevity and help support blood sugar control, bone health, balance, and everyday mobility.

Resistance training can improve muscle strength and function at any age (think getting out of a car, getting off the toilet, traveling and walking through the airport, shopping, hunting, fishing, picking up grandkids).

As you age, maintaining strength can help you stay independent and better handle life’s physical challenges.

Your 401(k) invests in your financial future. Lifting weights invests in your physical future.

A reminder, the heaviest weight at the gym is the door.

In order to make changes, you don't need a fancy TikTok routine, you don't need a 5 day bro split, you do need to be CONSISTENT.

I speak to people all the time and that have little to no consistency but think they're going to all of a sudden go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week and get in shape. What they're really seeking is behavior change.

Set SMART goals. Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely.

Figure out a schedule that works for you. 2 days CONSISTENTLY with progressive overload that focuses on recovery is better than 3 weeks on 5 weeks off, poor diet, poor sleep hygiene.

This is a fantastic routine that promotes recovery, gets you in the habit and you can build on. While you get a habit with exercise, get a habit of recovery, then advance.

Please use the trash cans in the weight area for paper towels from the bathroom, as there is not a trash can in the bathroom due to EXCESSIVE LOOSE TO***CO 🤢.

I have already addressed this issue, and per contract, there is NO LOOSE TO***CO ALLOWED IN THE GYM. I'm going to enforce this and will cancel memberships. I'm tired of making signs and asking.

Get some packets or Zyn if you have to have your ni****ne and constrict your coronary arteries while trying to have peripheral blood flow.

Ladies, I'm getting y'all something for your needs. UPDATE: INSTALLED.

Thank you to the ones who do follow the rules. Y'all are the majority. The place looks great, otherwise.

Without permission because Brock hates the spotlight. (No picture to keep folks privacy.)

This gentle giant of a man met this kid who admires the heck out of him and helped him at the gym today. And, he's done it a thousand times for many others.

And at Power House, this is the rule, not the exception because it's these types of guys, and the biggest guys, that will show up and support others. We can all learn from this type of humility; to be given the gift of strength, hard working, consistent, and still show up with kindness and gentleness.

Don't be mad if you see this, Brock! Just giving credit where credit is due, whether you like it or not. I know you're just being yourself.

One year ago this month, I officially became the owner of Power House. 🏋️‍♂️

If you would have told my teenage self that I’d come back to own the very gym that Mr. Ron, Dad, Mr. Jay, Uncle Kip, and Jessie Craft built into my life 30 years ago, I would have said you lost your mind. But here we are, and we are growing.

A huge piece of this transition belongs to Clark Strange. I want to thank Clark for being so cool, honest, and truly progressive. As his airplane mechanic business literally "took off," he saw the value in exactly what I could offer this gym and trusted me with its future.

I love this community and the revitalization we are building together. Seeing new and familiar faces, the discipline, the brotherhood, the sisterhood, and the constant encouragement inside these walls is exactly why we do this. I might have a smaller frame, but weightlifting has been a staple in my life since I was young. It’s not just something I believe in—it is backed by science to bring longevity, quality of life, and true well-being.

My hope is that Power House continues to grow and gives to others exactly what it gave to me for all of these years. Here’s to many more.

AC is fixed! One of them, anyway. It's much cooler.

I am working to get someone to fix the new ac at the gym. My estimintation is it went out Saturday.
Fans are going. Best time will be early morning or late evening to workout.
I will notify of repair as soon as I know something.
My apologies for this avoidable inconvenience as I have not had follow through from HVAC repair service providers in the past 6 weeks with the other units.
