Mindset Matters: You ARE Worthy & Capable
If you are waiting for the perfect time to get back in shape… here’s some tough love: that moment isn’t coming. You will always have a perfectly good reason NOT to exercise—injury, job stress, family obligations, burnout, fatigue, emotional and spiritual crises will ALWAYS be there. That's a guarantee.
The economy does not care whether you get in shape or not...you are literally a disposable battery.
Your job does not care whether it’s slowly killing you... sitting 8+ hours a day works great for them.
Even the people who love you might not understand how deeply you need time for yourself.
No one is capable of caring for your health more than you, and NO ONE will make room for your needs. You must decide whether you are worth it. (hint: you are!)
THIS is what going Beyond Adaptation is all about.
We don’t wait for the stars to align—we move anyway. Fight for yourself.
We don’t ask permission to be well—we prioritize our health unapologetically to better serve others.
We believe that a strong body = a stronger mind.
In tough times, do not to put yourself last. These are exactly the moments when your movement practice can be your salvation. Whether it’s taking a walk, doing some yoga, or coming to my class… for a MINIMUM of 1-2 hours a week spend some time working on yourself. This is not a recommendation, it's a prescription...
It will pay dividends in all other aspects of your life.
Suddenly those mountains may turn back into molehills.
If they stay mountains, you’ll have the strength, courage, and confidence to climb them.
Real talk!
Why We Train – Process Over Aesthetics
Maybe it's time for a perspective shift...
A results-oriented approach to fitness focuses on visible outcomes—looking leaner, seeing the number drop on the scale, getting abs by summer. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting results, this mindset is fragile. The second your progress stalls—or doesn’t match your timeline—you risk burnout, discouragement, and quitting altogether.
A process-oriented approach, on the other hand, focuses on what you can control: showing up, giving your best effort, and staying consistent. It values the experience of training, not just the outcome. Every session becomes a win because you honored your commitment, pushed through resistance, and chose to invest in yourself.
Here’s the Truth:
It takes an average of 16 strength training sessions to see measurable physiological changes.
If you train 3x a week? 5 weeks to visible progress.
If you train 2x a week? That’s 8 weeks.
once a week? 16+ weeks. ()
Until then, all the progress is happening beneath the surface—improvements in control, range of motion, balance, and strength. These are neurological adaptations, and they matter just as much.
If you're focused on the process, every week will feel like you are gathering momentum.
If you're only focused on results, you will find no joy... like a madman chasing a mirage in the desert.
At Beyond Adaptation, we train for performance, function, and confidence.
We celebrate progress in movement quality, mental resilience, and energy levels.
We don't chase perfection—we build a lifestyle.
When you commit to the process, results will come. But more importantly, you'll already feel like you've won.
DEXA Scan Opportunity – Don’t Miss This
Tulane is offering free DEXA scans as part of an osteoporosis study. They’re aiming to screen 20,000 people, and in return, you’ll get a $25 Amazon or Walmart gift card. **Get ANOTHER $25 gift card to participate in the addendum study...
This is UNHEARD OF. These scans usually cost $150–$200 and provide:
Most accurate reading of Body fat % (AND fat distribution in the body)
Bone mineral density (critical, you may already be losing bone mass and not know it)
A real picture of your health—not a number on the scale.
Sign up if you're ready to stop guessing about how you're actually doing... I made changes in my own training after seeing my results. The more you know!
You don’t need to be perfect…
You just need to be present.
Champions aren’t built in ideal conditions.
They’re built in the grind, the chaos, the discomfort,
the moments when no one else is watching.
Show up. Move. Choose yourself. It Gets Easier.
Every class you attend, every rep you complete, every effort you make—you prove to yourself that you’re someone who follows through.
And no matter how crazy life gets, you’ve accomplished something that no one can take from you.
Health is Wealth, So Get Paid.
See You Out There.
