Born and raised in the mountains of Montana we have been in the wilderness since before we could walk. We’ve been connected to it our entire existence. This still resonates now. As a people, especially now, being connected to nature isn’t something that is common. We live in cities, we have artificial experiences, and we just don’t have the same experience as we once had where we were living in nature. This is good and bad. We are at a place in our existence where we can be comfortable and have convenience. And contrarily we lose that grounding and connection to nature because we forget about its presence in everyday urban living.We can change that.
Our message is two fold. We believe that people should be more connected to nature. Also humans are meant to move. The sedentary lifestyle is not one that we think is beneficial for our health or longevity. Our method to physical training is unique. After almost 2 decades of experience trying many different methodologies regarding the best workout program, we can confidently say that this is easy. The best program is the one that fits your goals. A generic answer but true. There is a program for every single activity now. It has never been easier. Ours is different. We evolved in a strange way. Being raised in the mountains, seeking challenges, and never stopping this journey we’ve learned some lessons along the way. Our experience has been widespread. Ultra marathons, functional fitness events, CrossFit, mountain climbing, swimming, hiking, some MMA, rucking, and everything in between. We’ve landed pretty squarely in the middle of all of these. Nothing happens overnight. This journey has taken years, and will continue for years. We will never back down. We will always be doing the work and seeking improvement.
What we believe. With gratitude and humility we have a life where we can undertake these passions. Spend time in the wild. Do hard physical training. Be what we desire to be. Thanks to the higher power for that. With that being said, we believe in sharpening your blade. Keeping your number one weapon which is your body and mind at a high state of capability. The more you do hard things the more you can do hard things. Ask a lot of your body. Feed it well. Stretch it. Move it. It is great that lots of people go to the gym to look good in the mirror. We are happy for them. That is not the sole purpose why we train. We train for functionality and we train for testable matrix’s. We run races, compete in events, climb mountains, and we keep notes on everything along the way. We have our own preferred program for what we do for the functional/endurance hybrid athlete. 6 days a week we are training. We throw weights around and log miles. Because it is simple physics. An object in motion stays in motion. Stay in motion. Or make excuses and don’t.
We are not here to judge. This is one of our passions. In this life people should follow their passions. Be yourself. Howl at the moon. Be in general a good person. But if needed some day in some unforeseen circumstance, you may need to have these skills. The capabilities to be strong, to go far, or to be violent for the right reasons. The world is unpredictable and challenging circumstances can arise.
Seek growth. Seek challenge. He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man…
