Grit Strength and Physical Therapy

Building resilience is critical

In injury prevention, injury risk reduction, rehab and strength training

Learn from failure and adapt as needed

A common thing you’ll hear in the strength & rehab community is “progress isn’t linear”

This is true in life as well
No matter how hard we try, how much we work and how much effort we put in, there will always be ups and downs

Most of us will have re-occurrences of our pain
All of us are faces with obstacles (adversities or assaults)

Why not become as resilient as possible to be able to bounce back quicker and become harder to kill?

HARDEST WORKER IN THE ROOM
Coach “whoa that’s an intense choice”
Suzi “you said pick up the heaviest thing we could”
Coach “I did write that (after checking later)”
Suzi “I don’t want to waste my Friday” 😂🫶🏼💪🏼

Suzi has been coming to my Barbells with Friends class for almost a year. She’s an OG, been here from the start

But she’s been strength training for a long time

She understands how important and empowering strength is and she doesn’t understand how you don’t know that too

She teaches when I can’t
She recruits friends and family to come in with her
She pushes and inspires those around her
She is a constant reminder of why I do what I do and why I love it so much!!
She’s also one of the few I’d call if I had to move a body in the middle of the night 😂🤫

Come join Suzi

As much as I didn’t plan on running women’s classes, cause strength is for EVERYONE, I do know how important it is to feel comfortable, safe and empowered in your environment

If you’ve got something holding you back
A barrier you can’t get through
An injury that keeps you from starting or getting back at it
Just reach out, let’s work through it together

But for now let’s celebrate Suzi, her strength, determination and friendship! 🫶🏼

✅ set up and re-rack
